Good luck, Xherdan! Great little player.

Injuries have curtailed him in the last 2 years which is probably why he is going for under £10m, but it's still a great price after 3 years which equates to £4m plus wages.

Even if you question his contribution in the last 2 seasons, he did enough in 18/19 to deserve the medals he got with us.

Best of luck Cube

He was a player I was always desperate to see more of.

A lot of comments were made before we signed him suggesting he had a bad attitude and whilst we obviously don't see what goes on behind the scenes, he seemed to be a model professional to me.

7 goals and 5 assists in 3 seasons for us.

He’s been an important part of what’s been achieved in his time here and he’s made some hugely important contributions but his output is being a bit overstated because he’s a likeable player.

Wish him all the best and he’ll be fondly remembered.

If it had been 7 goals and 4 assists, then we would have 1 CL less....
If it had been a couple of goals less, maybe Ole never happens? Imagine the monstrous world where Ole is not at the wheel. Would life be worth living?

Too bad Shakiri didn't have stamina/defensive attributes needed, but hopefully Elliot can be that creative 1 out of 3 CMs.

Xerdan played his part. Move on and Give PSG hell!

Good luck to him, he deserves a first team place at a team that's playing at a big level. It's been a great three years.

Sad to see Shaq go. In some ways a very strange career he has had here at Anfield, flicking between first team, bench warmer and late game sub. But he has given us some fantastic moments. Who doesn´t like the Cube?!!

Hope he does well in France.

The love Shaq is a little Lyon player where
We once got together
Love Shaq baby!
A love Shaq baby!

Not gonna lie. Will miss the Cube.

Agree. Gutted to lose him, but we already have so many injury prone players, and his position is well covered so he's become superfluous to requirements. $:-\$

Now Shaqiri has left Liverpool can we openly talk about how he had a hair transplant on international duty but didn’t realise he couldn’t head a ball for six weeks or go outside without a hat on? Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat imagine having to tell your boss that…

Would explain one his absences at least.... lol

Gonna miss him :/

Dim Glas · « **Reply #3262 on:** August 23, 2021, 05:26:15 pm »

Shaq was great! Shame the 2nd half of his time here was so injury hit. He was the perfect squad player his first season.

Great character who loved playing for the club, and who played his part in some of the absolute best times for this club in recent history, and that is what matters!

Didn't Mane have one mid-season as well?

Was always a massive fan of Shaq (and his calves) while he was at Stoke so was made up when we signed him. It hasn't been perfect, but I'm glad he was here during a successful period for the club. After all, players of Shaq's quality should look at us as a place where, even if they aren't necessarily guarenteed minutes, they can come and add a few honours to their wikipedia pages. There was one brief shining moment (I'm remembering the Cardiff and Fulham games during his first season) where he looked like he could have been an important player for us.

Lyon's a good move for him. Good luck and thank you, Shaq.

One of my favourite players. Always liked the fact that he kept his head down and just kept training. Sounds like a fun guy to be around, will be missed.

All the best Shaq, and thanks for the memories.

A pity that he couldn't stay fit enough to hold down a first team slot for long, but he did make a difference when he did.

I have to say I admire him for his attitude. He could have stayed with us and took the wages but wanted more first team games so joined another club. Good luck to him. All the best Xherdan.

I think one of his best individual moments for pure technique was his cross for Mo versus West Ham. Sometime forgotten but that goal was an outstanding goal and his first time cross was an outstanding part of it.

https://youtu.be/EqFw7s3NI-U

Yes, spot on mate - unbelievable cross hit first time over that distance and finished off brilliantly by Mo. One of my favourite moments from Shaq was his goal v Fulham...his technique to control and score on the volley like that was just sublime !

Scored some great goals and made wonderful assists, like the one above. There was also that 'bicycle kick' goal against United in pre-season in the US

!

Good luck Xherdan and thanks for those memories.
