Xherdan Shaqiri

[CukiZeGerman]

Didn't say Ox was better. Just said what special things has Shaqiri done to be this star player that will definitely end up better than Ox.

Anyone who has watched Shaqiri would know he is similar to Ox in many ways. Strong runner who can shoot from outside the box and score goals, but very inconsistent. He is a little more advanced than Ox right now, but he is 2 years older after all.

That guy who said we have no star, while Inter has one in Shaqiri, must be having a laugh. Sanchez, Ozil, etc., aren't stars but Shaqiri is? What are you smoking homie?

You do realise that Shaqiri won 8 titles in his time at Bayern. He may not have produced performances to fit into their first team, but he would have been more than good for us.

He played an awesome world cup too.

What use are his titles if he was watching them from the bench? Thats a poor argument.

He was good at the World Cup, but then again I didn't say he wasn't. He isn't a bad player at all.

Last season he may have been more on the bench, but still whenever needed he delivered. Not to mention his first season there (when they won the treble). He was pretty important then.

Would be good to watch some games before writing such shite.

Anyway, the comparison was with Ox. Shaqiri played more bigger games and impressed more than Ox and he's not as injury prone.
Ox is rated as high as he is just because he's english.

Not that he didn't have some pretty big performances, but he's too inconsistent and too much injured.

You are overrating him. You take him out of the Bayern team, and they still win those 8 titles. Talented player, but was nowhere near as important as you are making him seem.

Ox is a bench player for a team who wins 1 FA cup in 9 years. Shaqiri is a bench player for a team who won the cl and multiple league titles.

Admittedly I haven't seen much of Shaq and get the impression he is a bit overrated but he's clearly better than Ox, as are a lot of players.

You take Ox out of ours and we still win f**k all/1 fa cup?

Ox was instrumental in our defeat of Liverpool last year in the FA Cup. After Theo went down, without his contribution it would probably have been no FA Cup and possibly no Top 4 because Gnabry wasn't ready and all our other top players were out injured for months.

Anyway, that isn't the point. The conversation about Ox ended a while ago, I wasn't talking about him anymore.

[Santi]

well cuki mentioned him about 3 posts ago..

[Massa]

So is there a reason we weren't in for this guy? Podolski is off in the summer no doubt and he is better than Walcott and chamberlain and is only 23? Am I missing something here? Surely if a player becomes available and is better than what you currently have it is advisable to try and sign them? . He also played at the world cup which makes him immediately less injury prone than Walcott and OX, and scored a beast of a hat trick.

Walcott is comfortably better

Did you just say the ox can shoot and score goals? What are you basing that on? The Ox has not scored more than 2 goals in a full Epl season to date and is on target for the same again this season, he has his 1 for the 1st half of the season in the bag we are now just waiting for number 2 to come sometime between now and April. Shaqiri scored more goals in 1 match at the world cup than the ox managed in 38 premier league matches . I don't care whether Ox is 21, 46 or 12 if Shaqiri is better at this moment in time (which he is) then why not upgrade? We wouldn't even need to sell the Ox because Podolski and Campbell will be out in the summer anyway, by which time Wenger will be flapping saying nobody of any quality is available for the right price etc bollocks etc. If we signed Shaqiri he would be our best winger in the squad (if we are counting Sanchez as a striker), he would be an actual winger and not one of those forward/wide-man/in the hole/false 9 players that Wenger goes for...ahh come to think of it I have just answered my own question.

At being injured? What good is talented player if he is injured at least half of every season?

^ And how important would ox be to us if we had ribery and robben on the wings lol? Even Sanchez would be on the bench. The fact that he isn't as important as 2 of the best wingers in the world doesn't do much to discredit the lad.

[Fenice]

Looks like his move to Inter is just about secured.

[Arsenio Wenger]

It's move like this one, and Mandzukc in the Summer that make me wonder what the hell Wenger does. These are bargain moves.

Give Stoke 20m plus ox
