He's decent. Raw but got a lot of promise IMHO. Seen him a couple of times this season and he's been by far and away the best player in a young GC team. Worth a gamble.

What are his strengths? Know sod all about the lad, but he seems to have found his shooting boots this year for Grasshopper. His youth international record had been consistently good through all levels.

Couple of times I've seen him he's been a bit of a battler - in a good way, not saying he's a hothead but he doesn't shirk tackles and he puts in a good shift - plus he's taken the chances that have fallen his way quite coolly. If any of you speak German, this is a good article from
early this season: "a jewel on his way to the top" - it's from the equivalent of the BBC so it's not rubbish...

Shaqiri had 0 goals prior to playing Everton. Now he has 2. Is he good and finally finding his feet, or is this yet another example of crap players scoring goals against Everton?

the other guy that came on for stoke and scored, hadn't scored for them either.

Thanks to a last minute strike themselves GC has the 3 in the derby against FC Zurich: 2 secured victory. Much of this success had two goals Shani Tarashaj. Despite its only 20 years of center-forward in record champion is already indispensable.

The biggest headlines belonged after derby success against the Grasshoppers FCZ Although the victory goal scorers Florian Kamberi. However, the history of the game wrote a 20-year-old contemporary of him, Shani Tarashaj. With remarkable hits he scored twice in front GC and thus laid the foundation stone for the second victory of his team.

With its strong performance, born in Tirana Tarashaj proved conclusively that he has made a breakthrough in the pros. In the past season in the Joker role, he was this season in all three games on the grid. And the center forward did so in a convincing way: With three goals so far, he currently leads the scoring charts at.

The appearance in the derby had been the culmination of Tarashajs steep climb. "Better it can not run. It's just beautiful and a great experience for me, "the U21 International declared accordingly satisfied. There was praise from coach Pierluigi Tami: "Shani takes responsibility. It is important that he scores goals, that gives him even more confidence. "

Tarashaj is the best example of the new and especially young GC. Along with players like Kamberi, Levent Gülen or Nikola Gjorgjev he enjoys the confidence of the coach. "The young players benefit from it. In addition, they ensure more competition within the team, "says Tami. That it comes as a result of inexperience sometimes errors, like the Ticino readily accepts. «I want the boys to play brave, because errors are normal."

The trust of the coach earn Tarashaj and Co. with good performances in the practice sessions: "We always give full throttle and try to put the senior players under pressure. We succeed currently good. "At the same time they would also benefit from the experience, established by actors. "We have a good mix between young and older players. The team spirit is excellent. "

Cheers, mate. I realise it's way too early, but if he fulfills his potential, maybe he becomes the #10 and Barkley's moved to a more permanent deeper role. Still bizarre that we continue to scout central and right sided players and neglect the left. Needs to be urgently resolved.

Villa are after Remy, would love us to go in for him even on loan, him playing in the Kone role out wide of Rom would be fantastic. Could be our version of Suarez and Sturridge which would make it even sweeter considering the kopites went in for him last year.

Not sure Remy fits the bill in terms of the attitude/squad morale thing. Could be wrong like, just seems like a .... to me.

All I want is a no-nonsense, proven in the PL/similar league, minimum age 28 centre back who can organise a back line. With this current squad, if Jagielka does a Kompany we can forget this season and start planning what to do with the Lukaku money now.

Watching Stones and Mori at the back is great when we're on the ball, but is absolutely horrifying when we're not and heart failure-inducing when we're defending a lead.
