Always interesting to sign new players and it creates a buzz but we really need to sell before the window closes and not play hard ball over some players.

Studge
Origi
Lallana

They are the 3 that stand out to me and could bring in enough to cover this Shaqiri deal if not more as I'm sure Lallana would get us a similar fee by himself.
I think Klopp likes Lallana, Sturridge and Origi are more likely to leave.
 
Good back up. Nothing more, nothing less lol.

For that price, it’s a good signing because he provide solid depth and we will most likely sell for a profit in future.

Experienced, bags of ability, versatile and can produce match winning moments. It’s the mental aspects of his game which need addressing - can Klopp unlock that?

Spending so little on such a player means we can focus our funds on the priorities ...

E.g. a keeper <ok>

For me:

1. Lallana is going nowhere. klopp likes him. if he is fit then i can see him being used especially with oxlade out injured.

2. Sturridge. can't see any takers. but we will shift him if given the chance

3. Origi - klopp has challenged him to show something now. I think this is due to no cover for firmino

4. Ings - wants to leave.

5. markovic, lazy. low wages but still can't find any takers. how mad is that?

6. klavan. 5th cb? gomez, lovren, vvd and matip choudl be ahead of him but its up to him if he wants to sit about.

7. Moreno. another clown. as theres no LB cover unless clyne goes over there this one might be difficult to shift til contract is over.

8. mingolet. another clown. at world cup then hols so difficult to shift imo. wouldn't be shcoked if he sits there due to his 5 year deal and wages ebing an issue.

9. Clyne - a small case for him going of taa and gomez share RB duties

10. grujic. deosnt seem to have a role and is hawking for a move. Could go on loan as soo nas he retruns form world cup "duty".

11. windy - reported unhappy as he has to compete for a place?

Dead wood 11 anyone?


Mingolet
Clyne X Klavan Moreno
Lallana Grujic Markovic
Orgi Sturrdge ings



Squad isnt then a full two teams but there you go.

Karius ward
TAA/gomez
Lovren/Matip
VVD/Gomez
Robertson/Milner
Fabinho/henderson
Keita/windy
Ox/milner
Salah/wilson
Firmino
Mane/shaqiri

We won't shift all those. One of the 3 strikers will be retained. I can't see lalaan or clyne going either.
 
Liverpool transfer news: Xherdan Shaqiri makes holiday decision to secure Liverpool move
XHERDAN SHAQIRI has cut his post-World Cup holiday short to finalise his move to Liverpool.

Medical underway.

Would be daft to sell Clyne, he's 27 loads of experience and will compete with TAA, Gomez isn't getting in there but I expect him to be used at CB. I'm hoping you are wrong about Origi I want him out as I think he's absolute ****e.
 
Salah, Mane and Grujic confirmed for USA tour

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Marko Grujic will travel with Liverpool for the club's pre-season tour of the USA, which begins next Saturday.
The trio were on World Cup duty with Egypt, Senegal and Serbia respectively and with each having been eliminated at the group stage in Russia are set to return to the Reds in time for the week-long trip to America.
Jürgen Klopp’s team will compete in the International Champions Cup with fixtures against Borussia Dortmund in Charlotte, Manchester City in East Rutherford, and Manchester United in Ann Arbor.
“That’s the start for them,” the manager confirmed to Liverpoolfc.com when asked whether Salah, Mane and Grujic are going to be part of his squad in America.
“They had their holiday and then they’ll come with us to the USA. They only had three weeks’ holiday so it means they didn’t lose too much.
“We have to see how they present and then we’ll see if they can play in the games. They will be there. And then the last group [of World Cup players] comes much later.”

Bit of blunder from Moses Simon.... quoted saying Liverpool want to sign him. I'm sure we'd rather him shut up until it's done
 
Shaq doing medical it seems then. For £13m it’s a no risk one really. Not expected to set the world alight but he’s certainly better option to have coming off the bench or rotating wth Mane/Salah then Lallana or Solanke is.

Klopp hasn’t got many signings wrong so will trust him on this one, as long as he buys into what the team do and doesn’t cause issues then should be decent signing.

I'm quite happy with this signing. Klopp is an iron fist in a velvet glove - if Shaqiri presents any sort of personality issues I'm sure he'll be put down (not literally, hopefully).

For £13m he's a bargain. He will do well for you guys.

Not overly keen, but he's only 26 and only £13m. He will be able to cover for Mane and Salah and help with squad rotation. I would rather he came on out wide rather than us sticking the likes of Lallana out wide which doesn't work
 
Xherdan Shaqiri is a good player, and I think he can up his games, being left footed is a bonus as well.

Don't get some of the Shaqiri negativity from some Pool fans, i think he's a very good player and under Klopp, has every chance of upping his game. Remember he is still young at 26 and can learn more, playing with top class players like Mo and Firmino.

He is strong, keeps the ball well, keeps the game flowing and is a fighter.
 
He might be excellent playing with good players. He's won major trophies at BM with good players.

The move to Stoke shocked everyone. He did ok considering he was playing with a really defensive team. With good players around him he could be a real surprise.

PL experience, CL winner, 26 years old... 13mil is daylight robbery tbh.
