A quick quiz just for fun.... noticed this little fella in my son's bedroom earlier.... who do you reckon this fairly recent Liverpool player is? And yeh, it's not a great picture

Didn’t have my specs on before. After a closer inspection , it’s got to be James Carragher .

Time for the big reveal.... it is of course Philippe Cou....... Xherdan Shaqiri?!?! Shocked

The reason I put the pic up in the first place is I'm convinced it is, or was, Coutinho. My son was pleased to find a Shaqiri souvenir in the LFC club shop late in 2018. I didn't pass heed at the time, cos they're all rubbish really, aren't they!

Anyway , Sherlock

thinking about it since, it was the summer of 2018 when Coutinho left and Shaqiri arrived. Coutinho was the big star at the time, Liverpool didn't want him to leave and I remember they ended up refunding all new "Coutinho 10" jerseys. Anyway, it looks to me like an enterprising LFC or Corinthians employee looked at several thousand mini Countinho figures and reckoned it'd be easier to change the name than make a Shaqiri one and dump the Coutinho ones! Very Happy

As a QPR fan I would've been very pleased to add the Marsh and Bowles Crapinthians to my collection...! Laughing

Seriously, every little helps!!!
