Rumoured Luke Shaw

[JDY 1,290]

My only concerns are the potential price and his injury problems. Still only 18 years old, does he ever age!?

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Would be great to have,but probs at premium price as he's English.

[Phil Driver 503]

30 million is a lot ,but he is 17 and would to be the soloution for 10 years and longer ,we could have three left backs come to the club signed by Emenalo for 15 million each and all are failures during this time, if that is what it takes pay it ,this kid is that good and is no mercenary,not his fault that we failed to get him before he signed a new contract with Southampton. If we make a move in the summer and he turns us down (i doubt he will) good luck to him.

I think Jose can take this out of Emenalo's hands and seal the deal ,if Emenalo is not up to it .

He was at the Chelsea game tonight.

Fair deal IMO. We should try not to sell Bert to Everton as it'll force them to let go of Baines and he'll probably end up at United.

Shaw and Bert can compete for places next season when Cole leaves.

Don't see it happening in January. Also, Bertrand will be allowed to leave? That doesn't sit right with me.

[Namika 922]

If he wants to go to the world cup he has to come.

The guy isn't playing so it's only right he moves on.

It he wants to go to the world cup he has to come.

It does happen that players get a big move and then all of a sudden get called up, but Lallana, Lambert and Rodriguez have all been called up from Southampton. What Shaw needs is to keep playing well and getting minutes, and he might not get them here.

What he might get is a chance in the Champions League though.

Really want to get this guy though. Ticks every box and we need an English core of players at this club.

While I understand the need to purchase a LB as a long term replacement, especially when Bertrand doesn't seem to be favored, think I would rather see the money first being spent on getting a midfielder for the pivot and striker before getting a new LB.

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned clubs off moving for Luke Shaw, insisting the full-back is not for sale.

Shaw is regarded as one of the best young talents in the country after coming through Southampton's famed academy.

The likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have all been credited with an interest in the exciting left-back.

Pochettino is not surprised that the England Under 21 international is attracting interest from other clubs, but is adamant they do not need to sell Shaw.

"They can show their interest," said Pochettino. "That's not something we control.

"But in this individual case he is not a player we are willing to sell. In a sporting manner, he is not for sale."

[Special Juan 28,124]

Tremendous potential, but as said, the midfielder and striker is more of a problem area.

[der Kaiser 77]

It will be great move for us if we sign him. We will get good DL for the next 10 years and he se better then Bertrand.

Does nothing other than increase the transfer fee. Classic tactic.
