Rumoured Luke Shaw

[quickpassnmove 924]

IMO, the top priorities in transfers should be CM and fullback. there's nothing wrong with using Torres, Eto'o, and Ba (or whoever comes to replace to BA?) until summertime. better to spend on TWO CMs and a fullback. Shaw is right up there on the list, for sure.

The sooner we sign him, the better.

We need to sign him in January, even if he stays with Southampton until next season...

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Suspect a number of Chelsea fans will suffer a meltdown if somebody sign Shaw ahead of us...

No doubt about that!

I really hope we go in for at least one of Shaw and Clyne...preferring Shaw of course.

Highly unlikely. I even have doubts that he'll leave the saints this summer.

Let him stay there for 1.5 years, I dont care!

For a good reason

But it's hardly the end of the world. People are so eager to see us sign him is mainly because he's a Chelsea fan. Not that he isn't a good player but the excitement around this seems to stem more from that fact.

He is also english and for 18yrs old very good player.

I dont mind if he is chelsea fan (that is just bonus as he will be more loyal and happy to play for us)

If we can sign him and let him play on at Southampton until he is 19 or 20 then very well but still they will demand a lot of money... Paying something 10 million for him and loan him back for a year and a half would be good but they probably won't even accept that.

Don't think that's possible. Southampton are playing really well and will want to finish the season high up the table. There's no way they'll want to make a drastic change midway through the season.

Apologies. The way you worded it suggested otherwise.

Spurs step up interest in wonderkid Shaw but Southampton are holding out for... £30m!

Haha we always snap Avb/Spurs targets in front of their nose...if you know what I mean

But 30m for a full back does look pretty steep..

for an uncapped teenage fullback it is just ridiculous

30 is too much, but if people expect him to go for cheap, they are wrong. He might not be as popular yet, but he is regular player in PL, english, 18yrs old and has 5yrs contract at Soton. I doubt he will go under 20mio...

It is indeed but whether those rumours are true or not, I can understand if Southampton took that stance. He is only 18, played a bagful of PL games and has been very impressive and looks better and better every time you see him. They would not sell him on the cheap when in a few years his price is obviously going to increase and he probably will be one of the best LB in the business. Southampton are not in financial trouble as well so anyone who wants to snap up Shaw will have to pay big for him. You don't get much 18 year old's playing week in, week out on a regular basis and impressing. Quite rare, especially in the PL.

The Tot's can have him for 30m.
