Shaqiri is definitely a great talent.
But the issue is, can he adapt to the Premier League? I'd rather Lallana for that very reason. Sure he's only had one good season in this league, and we definitely want to avoid an Andy Carroll situation, but with Adam, we've got a player that looks like he can fit into the style we play, and has shown that he can cut it in the league. He's been called to the World Cup, and is still relatively young and just hitting his prime.
More or less a younger version of Robben. Imo he wouldn't have any problem to adapt, he's very strong physically and is very week.
I'm sad he certainly leaves bayern but if he can get more play time and be happy, I'd understand.
