Reus is joining Dortmund but yeah Shaqiri's arrival might make Bayern willing to at least consider a good offer for jelly knees Robben. Given how sparingly we use wingers, Robben might be fit just enough to play those games we need wingers.
No, it's not. First - Shaquiri is a talent who has shown in some matches that he might become something somewhen. He is playing in the swiss league (a league you cannot compare to the German) and there he has 5 goals and 3 assists this season in 21 games - that does not sound very special. Robben is a proven world class player.
Bayern's bench is not very strong and they just have 20 field players. Saturday, when Müller, Ribery and Robben went off the field earlier to rest 2 defensive midfielders (one of them can play different roles) and a full back played for them. In earlier parts of the season before Schweinsteiger got injured Alaba would have taken over the left wing - but as he now plays behind Ribery and Lahm switched again to the right this possibility has gone, too.
And there are some contracts running out and will not get prolonged.
