We'll Lanzini did his knee the other day so he's hardly an option.
If we sign Shaqiri it won't be as an alternative to Fekir either since then play in different positions.
Wasn't aware lanzini was injured but the point still stands. The difference in quality (and price) between shaqiri/lanzini to Fekir. It's a big drop in standard and it was just an example to use.
And if the fekir deal is in fact dead then I'm not totally convinced we will bring in a number 10 role type of player which presumably he would have been for us.
It wasn't long ago we were linked with dembele. If there was any truth in dembele then I highly doubt we'd have signed fekir too. It would have been one or the other and they don't play the same position.
We have several versatile players so it's not specific roles that we need to address really, its squad depth, and we need to add a bit more quality too.
Don't be surprised if we don't sign a number 10 just because we tried to sign fekir. We could sign a wide man instead whos versatile like mahrez perhaps but more likely shaqiri.
