Rumoured Luke Shaw

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Do you mean Moreno? You do this all the time. Are you dyslexic or something?

Not dyslexic, just Scottish..

Manchester City are ready to pay £30m to sign Southampton defender Luke Shaw, 18. The fee would be a world record for a full-back, beating the £29.5m Barcelona paid Sevilla to sign Dani Alves in 2008.

£30 million seems a bit excessive...

A bit? 30m isn't a a bit excessive. 30m for a fullback is plain ridiculous.

[Jase 43,479]

In a non-related event at Southampton which may turn out to affect this transfer in the future...

Nicola Cortese on brink of resigning as Southampton chairman

As a result of that, Pochettino's future is also in doubt.

according to Mr. Driver, he is Lahm in the making.....

I would pay 30m for Alaba right now... and more

Yeah, but not for an 18yo! I think Shaw is realistically worth around half of that.

Dammit Real Madrid for paying 100m on Bale. Apparently prices are inflated on younger stars.

we have Cole ,, Ryan and P V A ,,,Lb is not what we need to blow 30million on

[bababoom 4,478]

He's got everything, height (6ft), pace, power, technique, seriously watching Southampton i'm jealous, he's so good going forward, Shaw and Hazard on the left will be amazing.

Although i doubt anyone will offer £30 million, £15-20 million should do the trick.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Shaw and Hazard on the left flank would be orgasmic.

[Special Juan 27,439]

And Shaw can actually cross a ball.

orgasmic is the word!!

Chairman resigned, manager apparently will quit soon too. Time for this club to be relegated so we can sign this Chelsea fan for £15m. Such a shame though, it shows that just because club have a good spell it doesn't always mean future will be bright. Maybe their CB Lovren as well? He seems quite good this season and Lambert over Torres/Ba/Eto'o

Can't be sure. I remember when Nigel Adkins was sacked everybody was sure that they will be relegated!

Naaa that was a good move and it was the dude that just resigned that sacked him and got Pochettino. At the time they were like Cardiff this season, like a few points above relegation zone.

I know It was Nicola Cortese, but just saying you can't never be sure in such things like the relegation of one team!

[Pizy 18,415]

If there's even a hint that Shaw is obtainable I'd seriously hope that our board are on it. If any club makes a bid we should be in there too.

If Shaw really is a big Chelsea fan, we could try to undercut a bid form City or United in the hope that Shaw would turn them down and force his way to Chelsea and Mourinho.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If we bid 15mio and United/City bid 30, but Shaw tells board he only wants to join us (if he is such a big Chelsea fan), Soton will be forced to sell him sooner or later. We can also give them Bertrand/Pva in part of deal. Or we can just buy him now, but leave him on loan in Soton for another season (if Cole extends contract). Current situation in southampton also helps us, their board looks to fall apart and that could lead into relegation, meaning they will have to sell best players. It will be up to Shaw who will he choose to join.
