I'd rather give Wilson his game time to be honest.
Or Ojo. Agreed. But it may be that Shaquiri gets 15 games with us over the season, while Harry and Sheyi play 30+ for the team they go to on loan, and that may be better for them and their (Liverpool) futures.
Not that I'm made up about our buying this guy, far from it. I was hoping it wouldn't be true.
For many seasons, I have wanted to see the likes of, Pongolle, Le Tallec, Amoo, J.Williams, Ayala, Spearing, Robinson, Coady, Suso, Kane, Woodburn, Wilson etc all given an opportunity and for us to gamble and not buy establish as cover, but lets face it, that isn't gonna win you the league, is it? This coming season seems different, and I feel we are at a stage where we should look for the stronger estabished cover to take us to the next level.
Shaqiri at 13m who could be capable of taking his game to the next level and possibly fight for a first 11 spot will be a huge steal and a far, far, far, far less of a risk than Wilson, Woodburn etc. Time for us to have a strong bench going into next season and start looking to challenge for the league and win it.
