Better than Shaquiri for Ā£15million, who would that be? He is a very good player who has been playing for a crap team the last few years, given the right motivation and good players around him I think he could be very useful for us.
Honestly? I don't really look and what someone costs to if I see them as a good player or a good fit or not.
For me currently this seems like one of our make do signings, we've had so many down the years and they turn out the majority of the time to be what we feel originally, tosh who get moved on eventually or we end up pushing them on loan still paying 50% of the wages
Now honestly Mate, I want nothing more than to be proven wrong and if he signs then I hope he is a resounding success, I also trust the manager but we can have feelings on signings can't we?
I'd rather we sign someone on pure ability and fit than as a deal seemingly to good to turn down.
To me having watched him he doesn't look a perfect fit to the manager's system and I'm still sceptical that this is nothing more than 2 add 2 equalling 12.
Like I say money doesn't concern me whatsoever, either that be 50m or 1m
I just want players who I think fit. And I just don't think this lad does for 12m or whatever.. it could be 12p and I still deep down would want someone else truth be told.
Like I said if he comes in I want him to be a success and for me to be wrong. But I'm also very dubious that the manager would actually want him
