Sky has been reporting on sensational transfer rumours regarding a move for Inter’s Swiss playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri to the English Premier League with Stoke City. The reports say the surprising transfer has been talked about for the last few days.
Apparently Inter and Stoke City have reached an agreement for the player for an outright fee of 17M Euro.
It remains to be seen what the player’s intentions are and if he wants to accept this new solution. Stoke will investigate the availability of Shaqiri, who could leave Inter just six months after arriving in Serie A.

well well, Mancini seems great in convincing players to join, but it also seems that he is NOT convincing when choosing which players to go! LOL
now we know why he didn’t play either Santon and Shaqiri much. it’s not because they’re in bad shape but rather Mancini found out that they weren’t what he looked for! LOL
and since both Santon and Shaqiri refuse the transfer, we will watch them sit on the bench even longer.
also I started to worry that next year we will want to get rid Kondogbia because he actually not what Mancini looking for! HAHAHA hilarious
If we get Salah or Cuadrado we should sell Shaqiri. No doubt about that.
WTF
This is bull
relax guys, not gonna happen
relax guys, not gonna happen
relax guys, not gonna happen
News says we’re gonna get both Jovetic and Cuadrado. In that case, I think selling Shaq won’t hurt us.
A transfer market can never go in peace with me lol, just when I’m soo happy with news regarding rano swap with martens and the incoming players, this happens. Now I’m at a point I want to fast forward to the season.

Unbelievable.. Why we must give chance to deadwood like guaro, rano, naga, etc but we did not give for Shaq? Do we must patient till our team end up like Gala when mancio there?
Just when I thought this summer might be different…….a stupid deal…very stupid
If this transfer happens it will be even more retarded than the Coutinho deal. First we never gave him a good chance to shine, second the transfer fee is a joke, if we do decide to sell him we can get a lot more, third we only have Icardi and Palacio up front and we’re not even near to getting another offensive player. What the hell, Inter? After everything Mancici did to get him here, after the fans going crazy over him, now we sell him to Stoke?!? Absolutely idiotic.
Would be a stupid decision. Shaqiri can still grow into a great player. Inter should rather sell Guarin, Ranocchia or Dodo to get some money. With that money they can buy/sell Cuadrado/Jovetic/Mertens.
cuadrado doesnt want to leave, so its jovetic or mertens but i prefer mertens because stupid jovetic refused us last year when the deal was 99% sure. mertens wants to leave, so does all valueble players by napoli!
p.s. napoli=the new empoli!
I’m OK if we sell him and then buy some decent wingers, like Perisic, Cuadrado, Lamela and etc.
But looks like we’ll end up with Felipe “Fucking” Melo and 11 other Defensive midfielders, with signing no strikers or wings at all.
Why would Inter think that Shaqiri would even consider such a deal. At Inter he has the chance of European football within the next few years with a great team being built. At Stoke he would need to wait at least until.. well forever actually. This periods name should be changed from Silly Season to MoronicIdioticSeason.
The battle for online attention has gone to far..
This news was confirmed by number 1 transfer guru – Di Marzio, but last news on fcinternews said shaquiri doesn’t want to leave and said no. Reading the news regarding Jovetic, Shaquiri and Suarez mean only one thing – Mancini would like to play 4 3 1 2 with three strong combative midfielders such as kondogbia medel suarez and jovetic behind palacio and icardi. Mancini will sign one back up striker as well. Kovacic will be on the bench I think, if not sold. I don’t know yet whether this is a good strategy or the 4 2 3 1 strategy was better. What do you think guys ?
Palacio is time to sit at bench!
I agree with you, but I remember that Mancini said that Palacio will be very important this season for inter.
I will be ok only if Mancini play this formation with Kovacic or Hernanes as a trequartista and Jovetic – Icardi as strikers.
I want Hernanes leave.Maybe this is the last chance to make some money from him.He for year and half has 4-5 good matches.He is not Inter material.Shaq is way better i he have much more potencial..
I’ve never been ok with 4312. That’s predictable and boring football.
I don’t know whether we will be better with 4 3 1 2, 4 3 3 or 4 2 3 1. What I know and prefer is that we have midfield consisted of 2 dmc and 1 creative player type mc – as kovacic.
What I can say is that many teams have succeeded under 4 3 1 2 , latest example is Juventus. It is a formation which provides security/ stability to the team. I personally think that we should play 4 3 3 but in order to do this we need 2 of Salah/Cuadrado/Perisic/Mertens and keep Shaquiri as substitution player to the listed players above. As a conclusion if we get Jovetic, we will not play 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 3.
Shaq subs player really?
It’s not about the formation it’s all about the players lol, just don’t compare us with juve balance team, if we try something because they do it well doesn’t mean we’re gonna do it well too
I will kindly ask you before giving a response to my comments to read them and UNDERSTAND them. This is the only way to have a productive conversation. 🙂
Well i do very understand, the question is, do you? if you don’t like to get some response nor comments then simply don’t post.
But putting Shaq on the bench as a sub would sound like an insult to him
actually, Jojo’s arrival doesn’t rule that out, because Puscas is clearly not / will not be trusted – or if Palacio’s going to be Icardi’s sub, that means buying 2 wingers won’t be enough
Yeah my thoughts too, without Kova it would be stupid, also I personally prefer to see Shaq and Mertens on the wings too
that is exactly how it is supposed to be
Kovacic-Medel-Kondogbia
Shaqiri/Hernanes
Icardi – Jovetic
4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 are far better than that 4-3-1-2
I agree, I personally prefer this one :
* I have a good feeling about Cuadrado – I think that we will be able to complete this dream signing. I don’t know about Perisic, but if it happens too, it will be awesome, and in this case Perisic will replace Shaquiri in the starting eleven. Palacio will be back up to Icardi and/or to the left winger (Perisic/Shaquiri).
Agreed
i’m really confused now what is his real name shaqiri or shaquiri?
well it’s Shaqiri but I am surprised that you make this kind of comments here. I think that there are more important and appopriate things to discuss here. 🙂
so many ppl write shaquiri thats makes me confused man
so many ppl write shaquiri thats makes me confused man
so many ppl write shaquiri thats makes me confused man
Maybe mancio wants to play with more than one formation…..
Calm down folks, its all BS. Mancini is not stupid and its only a rumor
That’s the same way they claimed we had an agreement with Imbula only for his agent to say Marseille weren’t satisfied. Inter won’t sell Shaqiri for less than 25m
I hope so
wtf
WHAT!?! THE HELL!?!?!!?!?!?
WHY????? Shaqiri was one of the greatest signings in the last few years, was like Sneijder.
Why?
Unbelievable.. Inter Management is soo stupid if this deal happens.
First Santon now Shaq, who were the best 2 players in the last matches
Wow. Club need money. That’s why I said Guarin , dodo , JJ , Rona must need to be sold, unfortunately no market I believe. Then Santon, Shaqiri or even Kova must sacrifice either one.
Wtf!!!!! What going on? After imbula this is bad news after imbula….
Di marzio is saying the deal is done. Bad for the player and bad for us financially cuz stoke will sell him for 35 m a year after. Good for the team tho shaqiri got no place in the new inter. Loan him without option
Yes but its up to the player to decide. Lets see if he agrees for Stock
We have only 3 atacking players Shaq,Palacio and Icardi and we want to sell Shaq?Mancini want to sell all new players from januari without Brozovic.I don’t understand this,Shaq and Santon was one of the best players in Inter with Icardi and he want to sell?What about after six mounths he want to sell Kondogbia after few poor matches?
If can bring two good attracker . let it be, If not Shaq, I am afraid next time is Kova.
Lets blame mancini for a rumor! YAHOOO!
Di marzio and romano confirm it.. Inter accepted stoke offer but Shaqiri refused.. But we should be shame how Shaqiri decline Liverpool more money for inter and then after 6 month we try to dump him..
can’t trust news comes from sky..
This is rather stupid if it happens. The only situation in which I could see this in some kind of logic, is that Mancini wants to play 4-3-1-2 and we are close to signing a striker. But with the recent rumours, it seems we are in to buy a winger. Selling Shaqiri and then buying 2 new wingers would be quite retarded. Keep him, buy Perišić/Salah/Cuadrado/Mertens and play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.
totally agree..if we sell him sell for 25+
Can’t say not agree with both of you..
Shaqiri plays behind the strikers for a good while, not on the wings – and he does that very well
but no matter what the tactic’s gonna be, selling him for 12m pounds is a retarded deal, players half his quality go for more
Shaqiri is naturally a winger and CAM is his secondary position. Hernanes is a born CAM and if we played in 4-2-3-1, its no doubt the best setup would be Hernanes in the middle of the supporting attacking trio and Shaqiri on the right.
No! Shaquiri best position is behind the strikers, like he was played in Basel and like he’s now playing in Switzerland national team. Guardiola was trying to made winger form him in Bayern, but that’s not his best position.
