      Off to Lyon for 9.5M(Pearce)

      Edit: Good luck Shaq! Undeniable talent and helped us in many games. The Power Cube will be a good addition for Lyon.

      I'll miss him but will never forget the key contributions he made. Good attitude and clearly relished being part of this team, even if his role was bit-part.

      Best of luck, Shaq.

      Top player who never got a proper chance and in retrospective was never meant to get a proper chance. I'd love to have seen him in a role that Elliott plays now: offensive midfield. No idea why. Was he too lazy and advice-resistant? Didn't he connect with Jürgen? We'll never know. Also if you look at the pathetic 9.5 Mio. you can see how little Klopp values him and how much Shaq wants to play. But all in all it was a friendly tenure, he won quite some silverware and not by only warming the bench (he was there for instance when we beat Barca), he made some crucial contributions in PL. So he can walk off with his head up high. That long pass to Mo will make him immortal in my mind anyway.

      Good luck Shaq!

      Nah, he was good sometimes but let’s not get carried away.

      He was a good player but was toooo injury prone for us.   Hope he gets better luck with his new club.  He had some memorable moments all the best.

      All the Best Shaq, make sure if you get a chance during the Season, to take out Neymar and Messi when u get the chance!! Couple of nice sliding tackles will do.  :D

      Really talented player who made a pretty big impact during his first season. His goals and assists helped us to come so close to winning the league, and his assist against Barca helped us to become Champions of Europe.

      Injuries stifled his momentum and in truth, he was a never really a natural fit for Klopp’s 433. He was a good fit for the 4231 and I remember him destroying Arsenal, but Klopp has always preferred the 433 in his time here.

      I never doubted his talent. In terms of just pure technical ability, he has to be at least top 5 at the club. He had an eye for a pass, long or short, the ability to execute it, and had a good shot with both feet, as well as being a really good crosser who had plenty of tricks up his sleeve to beat a defender.

      Now is the time for him to get some regular games. Elliot is a good natural replacement of sorts, except it looks like Elliot is going to be able to become a CM in the 433. All the best to Shaqiri. One of my fav players ever since I saw him rip United to shreds when he was a teenager at Basel.

      Same here. Totally understand his wish to leave for he never got a real chance under Klopp. But I also understand Klopp. Shaq is world class with ball handling and passes/crosses, but only mediocre in speed and spirit. Put Robbo's brain into Shaq's body and you'll have a player right along Messi, Mbappe and Ronaldo.

      Never got a chance?
      He was perpetually injured.

      As trolling attempts go, this is bottom of the barrel sh*t.

      Like Shaq, always have, but what a frustrating player fitness wise.

      Hard to believe he's still only 29, he seems to have been around forever.

      Hope it all goes well for him at his new club.

      Was really made up we signed him but had reservations on his injury record, did hope that a new regime would improve matters but obviously not.
      Best of luck again.

      Thanks for everything big Shaq, always put in a shift when called upon and showed enough quality to hold his head up high upon leaving.

      Happy for Shaq. He contributed when called upon for us on several HUGE occasions, got to go to some dope ass parties, and had a few winners medals to show for it.

      Will always remember his.......

      Motm super sub performance against United.

      VVD demanding an in swinger at the end of the Palace game, then Shaq putting it right on Origis head for the winner.

      The cross for my favorite all tike goal (number 3 in the Barca game)

      The assit to Salah in the West Ham game
