Good afternoon to you.
According those terribly nice people at Itasportpress we are in for a chap by the name of Xherdan Shaqiri.
This young man © Ray Wilkins is a Swiss International and to use more footballing parlance he is said to be on the radars of Lazio, Liverpool, Rome, Palermo, Aston Villa and Fiorentina.
The FC Basel player told Sky Sports: “I’m a really special player. Very creative in my approach to the game and I like to take risks.
“Of course, I like to score: I have to score. But I also like to help my team-mates, so everybody else can score.”
Here’s a clip of him in action. Lots of running about and walloping of the ball. That sort of thing. If you don’t like football and Venezualan Death Metal is more your bag, then this video could still be for you.
Benitez was a fan of the player and prior to him getting the heave ho at Anfield a £2M bid was mooted. So his stock is either nicely on the rise or we’re getting the old Three Card Monte pulled on us. That’s something you see less often these days. In fact the last time I saw it was up from Burger King on Leicester Square. And they were Albanian. As is Shaqiri.
Of course what would be quite good is sign him and then get various sections of the crowd to shout ‘Dan. Dan. Dan!’ ala Partridge at him. Just me on that one? Ah well…
On a more serious note I have spent the bulk of this morning looking for my glasses. If anyone either spots them or knows what the flip I did with them – do get in touch.
‘Im a very special player…’ The boys certainly got a pair. I remember another person who referred to himself as a bit ‘special’ could be promising.
Talking of Alan Partridge I’d love an interview with Mr Jiggins regarding his ‘story’ trying to defend it, ala Partridges conversation regarding changing his car ‘Go on Lynn, try and say it, Ill just talk over you!’ ‘I’m not driving a mini metro, I’m not driving a mini metro, I’m not driving a mini metro!’
best player i saw at the U21 world cup, pretty gd on FM2011 aswell, and there not normally wrong.
Youtubes are all very well but I just can’t see how he’ll fit into the Chav, Manure or Shitty team in years to come.
By the way, you don’t wear glases but you’ve left your Alzheiners medicine on the bus.
“glasses” “Alzheimers” :(
Who ain’t we in for?
Your Wife has got your glasses reading her gossip mag on the bed. We have Kane he will be Able to score soon and the swiss are good clock makers and full of cuckoos. Keane Defoe Crouch and Pav will deliver because energy is going up and defenders wont be able to afford to buy it and there will be room for these excellent player s to score and Toure wont be back till September. HHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAA I HAVE CRACKED THROUGH TRYING TO STOP ENERGY ABUSE. THE GOOD NEWS ROONEY WONT BE ABLE TO USE MASKING AGENT FOR STEROIDS BECAUSE HE NOW HAS HAIR. THE BAD NEWS UTD LOOK THIN AND REDS FACED IN AMERICA
