What are your thoughts about his signing, first few games, ideal position etc?
Would you have been happier with Traore or do you think Shaq will tear this league up?

He's going to be a phenomenal player for us.

Yes, but if he isn't I will blame Kitson

Not exactly hit the ground running but clearly, has the talent! Would help if we play a settled side. Too many personnel changes, too many positional changes and too many tactical changes in the same match! Footballers have a brain the size of a pea, they are not 'Mastermind' contestants! So, keep it simple! Simples!

Has had no time to do anything. Yes, he will be an excellent player for us. The boy isn't even fit yet, give him time!

He's fit enough to play international games and he's been training long enough. It's not fitness it's getting used to the team and the tactics. He'll be excellent for us and when Bojan is back strutting his funky stuff we'll begin to pick it up.

He's played 3 games so far. One of which we were down to 9 men after 30 mins and another we played Arsenal away from home.
Give him time.
He will be brilliant for us.

Two away games (one in which he got an assist for a goal) and a home game in which we were down to nine men for an hour. |

Being played for 90 minutes and being fit enough to play for 90 minutes is not the same thing mate. That said, the more game time he gets, the better he'll get. |

I shoved him straight into my fantasy football team - and I wont be dropping him, I fully expect him to launder a shed load of points

If we sort out the total shite known as our central midfield then yes.
Thus far this area of the team is impacting all other positions (defence, wings and attack) because we can't a) get the ball b) keep the ball or c) get a pass on target.

Quite correct, plus Shaq has gone on runs and not been picked out, and has been closely marked; whenever he got the ball in the West Brom match, he immediately had 3 men round him. He will definitely be a succes when we get sorted out; I'm hoping he and Bojan will be a devastating combination. |

I believe so but was hoping for a few more glimpses of explosiveness than I have seen so far.

He hasn't really impressed yet but neither did Bojan but look how well he did after he was dropped.Maybe Shaq needs the same handling.
My concern is he doesn't look like a winger,more a number 10 and we've got shit loads of them
Sometimes it takes a full season to get fully to grips with a new league

Never in million years will he be a success at stoke.
The previous management steered well clear of show ponies like shaqiri and quite rightly so as they realised that
the good folk of stoke prefer the hard working industrious type of player over these fancy dan foreigners who do
not have the correct dna to succeed in the premier league.
Hope that helps.

He's definitely got the talent and when he's got Bojan alongside him pulling the strings I fully expect us to start battering some teams. |

I hope so. Its early days and he'll need a little time to settle in as did Bojan.

Needs time and our problems in defence and midfield to settle to give him a platform to impress , I agree Bojan back full time will help him a lot but if we cant get the spine of the team right it will be tough for him
