Xherdan Shaqiri [Schalke]

[RedAndWhite]

Unbelievably daft comment or badly written.

Even if he doesn't make it with us he would grace many PL teams and that is as a kid. He will only get better under the right direction.

Why not? he's done really well this season, and is still young and improving, I would imagine that after the season he's had and given the type of player he is I would imagine he would fight hard for his place.

Even if he doesn't make it here long term I think he's shown enough that he could do a job at a mid-table PL club.

Even if he doesn't make it to the very top he is still a useful squad member, good enough to currently play against the bottom 3/4 of the PL, if not more. He would be ideal backup for a world class player, and allow us to rest/rotate and know we would get a good level of performance.

He only has one foot and is not that quick, rather go for the Ukrainian or give Ibe a chance and spend the money in midfield or defence.

I'd buy Xherdan and Konoplanka fella, for not much more than Lallana

He's absolutely ****ing rapid?

He's looked that way every time I've seen him.

Him and Kono would be aces.

Not a fan myself.

That said Pep used him on the wing, which is certainly not his best position.

Personally I'd pass.

I'd rather have Konoplyanka than both Lallana and Shaqiri tbh, Kono is fast, explosive and can beat a man, would only cost us 8m too.

[Pablo]

I've got a feeling we'll hear more about him soon if Southampton try to rip us off for Lallana.

Has anyone watched him play much for Bayern? In those videos above he seems to have little end product and makes poor choices in the final third.

[Bernardicus]

This video shows loads of examples of him playing in a central attacking midfield position, if we go with the diamond as our most common formation next season that would be where he would fit in.

Xherdan Shaqiri

"Yet another year I do not want to see"

Eva Tedesco - No national team is more popular than Xherdan Shaqiri (22). 20 minutes spoke exclusively with the Bayern star on title transfer rumors and the upcoming World Cup.

20 minutes: Xherdan Shaqiri, with the Triple Double 2013 and 2014, the hoarding of titles is gone after switching from FC Basel in the Bundesliga for you. How big is the change for Yann Sommer and Valentin Stocker will be the likely time being have to do without bucket?

Xherdan Shaqiri: Then you have to adjust. I changed to a top club, where titles are expected to increase - as is the case with the FCB. That's quite different than for summer and Stocker, who are staying with clubs that are unlikely to play for title - without wanting to sound disrespectful. But that is far away. You need to get used to the country, people and the club. That will be a priority in the first few months.

Summer and Stocker were stars in Basel. In Germany everyone is a gamer of many will be. How difficult is it to get used to it?

There is probably not everything is going so well how it went at the FCB. Maybe you just need to sometimes down through at the beginning, get over it and get up again. But I think this is like in any other business, even if you change jobs. You have to prove themselves and work out a position.

You have now finished your second season in the Bundesliga. How has your role within the team has changed in this time?

I was quickly integrated and have made a name for myself in the team. I was able to show by performance in games and training, what I can. My teammates perceive me and not see me only as the young players.

And how has changed over time under Jupp Heynckes your role under coach Pep Guardiola?

Heynckes I felt more confident, perhaps because Guardiola speaks less with us players. Last season I had bad luck with several small muscle injury and was therefore not quite as close. But I'm glad I could bring my benefits if I played and was able to develop myself. I have become better.

The extent to

I have gained more experience and also sporty, it went ahead - tactically as playful. I am disappointed only because I have played less.

Think of a change?

We'll see. It is clear that I so do not want to go on. If does not change much, I'm going to have to change something. I am young and need to develop myself. I want to play in the big games from the beginning, and not just in the league when everything is already clear. So a year I do not want to experience again.

But what may come for you after the Bavarians in question?

For me it's clear that I want to play in a top club. The Champions League is important to me. We will see what happens. But I want to fulfill my contract basically.

In transfer Forums They were taken, for example, with Liverpool in conjunction. Is England an issue?

clear. If I switch, then abroad, within the Bundesliga rather not. But it must be a club who plays for the title.

You mentioned there that you have played for muscle injuries last season less than the year before. How are you now?

I'm fully fit again and looking forward to spending time with the national team. I look forward to the World Cup and we will try to achieve something incredible.

You may also not be dubbed as others who have 60 and more games in the legs. Can this be an advantage for the World Cup?

This can certainly be an advantage. But I think that by starting on June 12, all rested and will be at the same level - even if we would most like to play the same, so we look forward to the World Cup.

In the Nati They are regarded as the beacon of hope, while at Bayern the lead responsibility of senior professionals. How easy to switch between these different roles?

It is not easy to switch and quickly grow into two different roles. But I manage quite well. We have a good team, we help each other and support each other. This is important. If we want to go together and all the same way, then we will go far.

The current generation People say that she was the national team with the greatest potential at all. What do you think?

I also think that we have never had a better team. Even though I am still young and not concern myself so intensely with the past. A better situation, it has never been my opinion. We have many players who have performed very well, many of them play abroad in good clubs. Switzerland has made a good name. I can feel how popular the national team with the fans and how everyone looks forward to the World Cup. I can well remember the time before the 2010 World Cup. At that time, all were counting, that is for us in the preliminary round. Now, talking about all of the second round as a minimum target. But it shows that we have succeeded incredible in those years.

2010 in South Africa there was the incredible victory in the opening match against Spain - and then went no more. Switzerland is excreted in the first round. Were drawn from lessons?

You have to see the team, more than half is no longer there. 2011 came the break, there was a change of generation, we have become younger. 2010 a long time ago, our football has changed a lot. We not only stand behind pure as against Spain. We try to play along, offensive act - against any team. We try to beat the Great. But clearly, we need to keep our nerve, we are very temperamental and need to keep us in check. Yellow you can always pick because of foul or anything, but because of dissent? It did not work for me.

Is this the Bavaria-school?

No. I believe in general that there is nothing worse for a coach than when a player brings in an important game yellow card because he once complained and fouled once. But I am sure that we will be top at the World Cup in all respects.

What can you say to the group with World Cup opponents Ecuador, France and Honduras?

At first glance, you see a high-caliber - that is France. The French want to come far. Ecuador and Honduras to play teams against which it is difficult. We saw that in our draw against Honduras in 2010. But we play against any team to win and see what comes out. The second round is sure once the first goal.

How far are you planning for it?

game I plan on playing in the first round. Then we'll see. It comes as it comes.

For how many weeks you pack?

For three weeks, and more.

And what can not be missing in your luggage?

My Music boxes are important to me, so I can hear loud music.

He's clearly open to a move

[Pablo]

So basically he's not very happy there and if he leaves he wants to leave the Bundesliga for a team in the Champions League and challenging for the title.

Welcome to Liverpool then little fella

Updated: 27/05/2014 - 15:42

Two torn muscle fibers, a muscle bundle crack - Xherdan Shaqiri these injuries forced in the past season often involuntary breaks.

Sporting director Matthias Sammer can understand the thought processes of ascent has as the Swiss "look" said, "but we are of the opinion that he is a super player for Bayern Munich with its potential. With three muscle injuries in a year he has any other . club in the world problems is also clear that three muscle injuries in one year are also unusually Why did it happen, you have to analyze and watch together ".. He knew that Shaqiri was a bit uneasy.

Sammer even raves about the small middle-Spinning:... "I think he's an extraordinary talent, and it shows also coach Pep Guardiola as the theme this year was that we were too little to fall back on him due to his injuries thus arises necessarily in a healthy phase, so that a player does not have his rhythm and then you can not show what he is capable of. " Ascent has explosiveness, technique and creativity referred Sammer as "exceptional".

The Sports Board Xherdan Shaqiri is the hope of more periods of use. "Of course we know that he is from the beginning of time out and should play more Our squad will not change the size of this summer, we have a great team spirit It's like this:.. We now need to create the conditions for him, ., if he is that he gets more used, clearly healthy, we must be able to offer him a higher rhythm because he has adapted the Bayern pace in these two years and we are convinced... He will shape our game yet "
