Don't know how reliable these rumours are like.
Edit - the Echo has just rubbished the reports, they say we are interested but we haven't triggered his buy out clause.
What would be the logic in signing him!? He is not going to win you the champions league or league title, never played for a big club.
Tells you the whole story. He has afew tricks up his sleeve, so did Emre Can.
Not what we require.
Well in those games where we bought on Ings and Solanke last season or rotated them into the side we would instead be using Shaqiri. Pretty sure that would have added added a few points to our league total last season. And paying less than £15mil for him will allow us to spend bigger elsewhere.
P.S. I'd say Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are big clubs.
