Heart not with Stoke mate. Definitely going. I think Stoke wrapping him up ready to sell in the summer. Get more money if he fit.

Yet another highly talented player proving...
That you need more than talent to be a top flight footballer

I know what you're saying but Hughes has basically said it isn't a major injury and certainly won't need surgery and it's up to him (Shaq) to find a means of sorting it. It's pretty much a more polite way of saying what Klopp did about Sturridge when he basically called him a fanny for not being able to put up with a bit of pain every now and again. Certainly very different from the excuses he's made for him in the past! And when it's been soooo many fucking weeks but he's happy to post vids of himself doing bicycle kicks on international duty just last week i fail to see how you can call it "knee jerk". Let's not pretend it's a one off or a rare occurrence. How many more weeks and how many more excuses can we give him exactly? We're using a squad place and a bloody good wage we could be using on someone else on a player who doesn't fucking play mate. Having to piss around with team selection and routines a day or so before a game every bloody week because Shaq's decided he isn't 100% is hardly getting a good team dynamic together is it? I'd rather have a player who's not quite as good but can get a good understanding and relationship with the team week in, week out than keep a player who only plays every now and again, regardless of how good he is. He had niggles last year but they tended not to be for long periods, to me the fact he's been out for so many weeks now makes me think its a long term injury that keeps recurring. Don't forget Butland was in training for quite a while before he pulled out against Boro, and the same before the U23 game. I read what hughes said as a 'He's getting niggles and we need to find the cause, but we don't think it's anything too serious'. Players have them all the time, its a worry, but Shaqiri is too good to not give time. We have Ramadan, so it's not like we're completely desperate to have him back. We give him as long as it takes to find the root cause, if we don't find anything and he's pulling out of a majority of games by mid next-season, possibly think about getting rid then. I think we know the root cause. Put simply he needs to grow a pair. We won't see him again this season then he will be gone. Nothing but a disinterested show pony.

Remember when Arnie was one of those? Yet he's 10 times the player, and 110 times more committed.

The much maligned John Walters puts all these mercenaries who don't want to fight to shame. Our Transfer strategy needs to improve, we should consider a persons temprament and attitude as well as on going fitness and talent. Talent alone has never been enough. Shaqiri should never have been entertained because of his previous record. Mancini knew what he was doing!

To be fair that could be said about the majority of players we have & most teams have, its all about the wonga for them these days!
