      He’s a special player with the ball at his feet don’t mind him becoming integral of the bench.

      Just needs to stay fit he has it all in his locker.

      Super sub and occasional starter. Helps keep him healthy.

      Is Shaq injured again and what does he have this time? There's very little to none info about him. He could be useful, he could even play some midfielder role.

      His football ability is beyond question. However a time comes when you look at the injury record and you have to decide that the amount of time missed just isnt good enough.

      A lad picks up a long term injury or injured in a bad tackle you accept that but this guy seems to be always injured . If he worked for another business his sick leave record would be questioned!!

      My thinking too. In the past I had the suspicion that it was to not lose face since he hardly got into the starting team. I mean he hardly played competitively and still was often injured. At least Keita got all his woes after real games. He and Keita are on my list of players that I would shop or use in a swap deal to save cash. In fact I'd give a guy like Gini - who'd be not my plan A - his contract because above all reliability is key. A working bike is more useful than a Ferrari in the repair shop.

      personally for me he is too apt to play in the attacking midfield role as his vision and long-range shooting ability is surpassed by very few in the squad

      Who know how fit he can stay but was a joy to see a player come on and influence the game straight away.

      To be fair he does it pretty much every time he comes on and as I said in the match thread I'd start him against the mancs.

      He gave an interview saying that he is seeking new challenge and Liverpool granting his wishes.

      15m please.

      I will remember him for his goals against Utd.

      He served his role well. His goals as super sub against Utd, his vital crosses to set up Origi winner against Palace and Ginis equalizer against Barca, and was part of my favorite counter attacking goal with his first touch cross to Salah. Class player. Hope we get at least 15mil

      Wish him well wherever he goes. That cross to Gini against Barca made his signing worth it.

      If Taki and Elliott are going to stay with the first team then Shaq becomes surplus to requirements and should definitely seek more game time somewhere else.

      I'm gonna miss Shaq. Never got enough game time for me but what can we do with the team we have? Pretty hard to get in the 1st squad.

      Good Luck in the future Shaq.

      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.

      I'll miss him but let's be honest his injury record was also poor and the times we really needed him and where he would have got more games he tended to be injured as well.

      Wish him well and he'll be an asset to whoever he goes to
      Frankly, Mr Shankly

      Awesome player who, while injured a lot, contributed a great deal when he was with us. That Barca match especially.

      My only regret for him isn't anything do to with his Liverpool career. It's questioning why such a talented player could have found himself at Stoke City in the prime of his career. Is and always has been a class player of CL standards.

      Exactly. When we signed him I was a bit worried he wouldn't cope well with being a part-time player, but he's been a true professional. He can leave with his head held high, he definitely played his part in our recent successes.

      No doubting his talent as we saw in his first 12 months here but ultimately the injuries took it out of him I think. Doesn't have the pace to play out wide or the work rate to play through the middle anymore.

      Wish him all the best and I think a move to Serie A would be great for him.

      Tbf to Shaq, he literally came as back up to the front three and only really played when they needed rotating or were injured.

      We'll always have the United game. Super Sub.
