He’s also expressed his wish to play in the premier league. Would he be guaranteed a start for Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U & City? The answer imo is no. That leaves us & Everton?
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 (edited) He would be guaranteed a pay rise & can make a name for himself on the biggest stage. If you don’t try, you don’t get. To many fans on here so we wouldn’t be able to get someone so quickly on here. 9 times out of 10 you may be right. But what do you lose out of trying? Did anyone see Stoke signing Shaqiri from at the time Champions league winning Bayern Munich? I guarantee so many said they’ll never get him. But they did. Edited 31 May 2018 by Bluearmyfox28

He's being linked with a 70m move to Chelsea after only narrowly missing out on the champions league on goal difference at Leverkusen having been one of the best players in the Bundesliga this year. He'll walk in to any champions league squad he wants to, he's not coming to Leicester ****ing City is he?

Bailey will also never go for £70m. I would imagine he will go for around £50m. I’m not saying he’s coming but you haven’t answered my question to where is there any harm in trying? How would you ever know you had a chance unless you tried. If you don’t get him so what? Not like we expected it to happen. Im down with being realistic, I’m all for it. However I think we need to be a bit more optimistic & stop writing off our chances at every opportunity we get. 2

Bailey will be one of Europe's hotter properties over the next couple windows unless his form bombs. We're a crap mid table club, get used to it. It doesn't mean we have to settle for bollocks like Shaqiri (anyone that wants him here has lost the plot) but it does mean that if we want quality we're going to have to be intelligent and unearth it ourselves. Remember Aranguiz? Bailey would be the same shit all over again. Waste of time chasing. 1

When we were linked I watched quite a few of their games and Bailey stood out an absolute mile. Should have done a double deal.

The kid seems to have his head screwed on. tbf we dont really stand a chance of getting him now, we did before he moved to Germany mind and we should have done a double deal with Genk when we signed Ndidi imo hed cost us almost £50mil im guessing now

Remember Aranguiz? Bailey would be the same shit all over again. Waste of time chasing. Think you're being very unfair to Shaqiri. He's a proven PL player (15 goals/ assists last season, as well as in the top 7 in the league for big chances created, whilst playing in a crap team) and a nailed on starter for a decent international team. Remember that superb goal he scored in the last Euros? If not, here it is:

People think Mahrez is moody and inconsistent, Shaqiri is on a whole new level.

He’s arrogant on the pitch, which players with his talent generally are, but off it nothing of the sort.
Mike Oxlong Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 I’ve heard Shaqiri goes missing round Christmas. The money you can earn from panto is just too good. 3

We hopefully have a little more pull than a crap mid table club but in this window only. I see your point in less impulse for a name just because; and a little more thought.

brucey Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 I wonder whether on Leverkusen's forums they muse about wishing they did a double deal including Ndidi when they bought Bailey from Genk
