Should we be enquiring about Xherdan Shaqiri who has been told he is surplus to requirements.

Apparently he's on 72k a week, we could offer somewhere near that and week in week out football, perfect position we need and set piece expect

[Funkydrummer]

Certainly should, but sadly out of our range.

[ClaretMov]

3.5 million a year wages shouldn't be out of our range with the amount of year's we've been in the prem and the money we have taken out of it, I think by now our top end earners should be around 80k

[claretonthecoast1882]

He may be surplus to requirements but they will still want over 20m for him

[Firthy]

Looks like we'll be getting a lot more "wishful thinking" posts than actual links to possible transfers before next season. Things are ominously quiet on the transfer front and the only links are all old regurgitated rumours. I hope I'm wrong but I really can't see the board giving SD the money he needs to strngthen our squad sufficiently. We might struggle next season if we have injuries to key players.

[Wellsy1882]

Player we should be aiming for - yes
Player we will aim for - no

Shame cos hel go to some1 like west ham or leeds

[SGr]

Good player, right position but wages definitely too much. And there is Liverpool’s track record of rip-off fees

[jojomk1]

When you look at the teams around us (league table wise) not much business has been done by anyone apart from Brighton with a couple of teams making permanent signings of previous loan players
Nothing to panic about yet but the likes of Shaqiri will be way out of our sights
If we are looking at any Prem League teams I can only see it being financially viable for their younger players and we all know SD doesn't favour those types
Championship and below will be our market

[Ashingtonclaret46]

At least he shouldn't be tired after just 265 minutes of top level football since June 2019.

Our net spend whilst in the prem is embarrassing to be honest, yes lets not risk the club but come on

Do you get embarrassed by our net spend ?

Why would our "net spend" be embarrassing after we finished 10th - it should applauded

Is that a question ?????? I said it was embarrassing, so what do you think

[claretonthecoast1882]

So our net spend is embarrassing you but as you put it "if we just spent a little bit more" then you would be ok ?

How much more is a little bit more ?

[Jakubs Tash]

Imagine what we could achieve with our fantastic management if we spent a little more

The "fantastic management" that you wanted gone in January?

It’s all the net spend chants from opposing fans that really hurt.

[claretonthecoast1882]

It's that famous old chant " how **** must you be, your net spend is small"

[Terrier]

If he is not good enough for liverpool he is not good enough for us!

[BenWickes]

Is that a question ?????? I said it was embarrassing, so what do you think

It's not what you spend, it's who you spend it on. I'm not convinced, if we we were able to spend £60 million on a player that Dyche would pay it if he could get an equally good player for £25 million. I wouldn't be embarrassed. I'd be quite pleased we bagged a bargain.

[theboydonegood]

What's embarrassing is that you called it embarrassing

[Giftonsnoidea]

If we didn’t have Dwight he’d be a good signing for the left , as it is probably not needed but a good player for someone.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Sky reporting 4 PL clubs chasing John Lundstram of SheffU.
If true I’d be hoping we are one of them.

Absolutely not someone I would want to bring in on the wage structure we have. Another show pony. Loads of lovely touches but never plays regularly for any English teams.

We can't afford to miss when spending those funds. I'm much happier with the Brownhill types of purchases. Hungry with desire and enough talent.

Who are we going to be chasing next, Tom Ince? No thanks.

[ClaretMov]

The "fantastic management" that you wanted gone in January?

Yes I did, I thought we needed to freshen things up and I wasn't on my own was I ????? But most don't have the ball's to admit it.

Fortunately we turned things around and not one single fan including myself could of seen that coming, if they didn't they wouldn't be in charge now, the management team turned it around and for that they are fantastic and the right team to run the club at this moment but thing's change and so do people's opinion

[conyoviejo]

Shakira from Columbia would be a better signing.

I’ll think you’ll find there were quite a few on this board that wanted to give SD a chance to turn things around, after all he has done before!!

[tim_noone]

Can we buy him like Liverpool bought Ings.......and drag it out as long as possible and hope we get him for 30 bob!!!

[Burnleyareback2]

Not one single fan ??????????

I thought he would turn it around. So that’s 1.

[Bigvince]

So did I. So that’s 2 we should start a club

[tiger76]

Shaqiri no thanks, and even if we were interested he's well out of our budget, and i'll be surprised if our top earners are on anything like 80k a week. they may do well with bonuses, but a basic wage of that amount no chance,and nor should we be offering those crazy sums.
