Reckon he has had a few of these...

Brought back some Oakcakes and local red cheese on Saturday. We had cheese oatcakes with brown Sauce for breakfast yesterday. Nice.

He is not good enough to get into either Spurs or Arsenal as they both have better already and IMHO the height of his ability is a mid-table Premier side so possibly Everton but I doubt Big Sam would want him. I would possibly pick him above Knockaert but not Stephens Propper or Gross. When they get relegated he and the rest of the Stoke team may have a reduction clause in their wage deal. The one they will lose is Butland and possibly Shawcross.

I'm sorry but he would easily slip into Spurs or Arsenal's squads. He's far better than Lamela, probably as good as Lucas Moura and has already won 13 major trophies and he's only 26. He's already played for arguably the best Bayern side ever (winning the Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB-Pokal in a season), had a tough time at Inter, who are a real mess since being taken over by a Chinese investment group, and is now rebuilding his career. If you were at Arsenal you would swap him for Iwobi every day of the week.

Sorry to go all Klopp on you but that you think he's worse than any of our current squad astounds me. He's scored a hat-trick at a World Cup and every time I've seen him in the flesh (admittedly twice) he's oozed class.

Calm down, Xherdan.

The guy is an absolute class player there is no doubt about that and being left footed it would bring much needed balance to the Brighton Midfield; however, Stoke are where they are partly because he has not been performing to his ''potential'' often enough.

Would he work as hard as Pascal Gross does without the ball ? he would be expected to if Brighton mover for him and he doesn't strike me as someone who breaks sweat often.

That said. I would take him in a heartbeat into the squad if such an opportunity arose.

Shaqiri is decent, but he's no J-Lloyd Samuel.

It is all about opinions and I believe that he is a luxury player that neither Arsenal or Spurs would want. He looks good on the ball but for me he doest do enough to make him a top player that they would be looking for.as I say just my opinion.

People will not let that rest will they as I have pointed out many many times the suggestion of JLS was to serve a means to an end at that particular time when we desperately needed a left back..

All meant with affection, BG.
