The only place to be 11,313 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm not sure. Their are quite a few stumbling blocks for this transfer.He doesn't need to move, Southampton are in no danger of being relegated anytime soon.Southampton don't need money as they are bankrolled by investors.Shaw just signed a new contract.True....but if players want to leave then it is hard for the clubs to keep them most of the time, unless you're a United. We may well pay over the odds for him but this kid could be around for the next decade or so.Soxxy, Cole, Shaw....that's not bad going for a 15-20 year period.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We will need some english players soon after Lamps, Cole and Terry retire. There is 1% chance we get someone ala Rooney or Wilshere while Barkley realy isnt required as we have Oscar and Mata, but Mou might see something in him. Cant find any more good english players right now, except for Sturridge who obviously wont join us in near future. So Shaw is one of very few or maybe even only english player atm that is required in the squad and has talent and skill to make LB position his own. It would be ridiculous/sad to see our first 11 in next years without single englishman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 i think that lukaku will be considered as homegrown @ the end of this season, correct me if i'm wrong.Kalas is already (i won't talk about kakuta).Add to that piazon in 2015, ...

Maybe Chalobah or RLC if we have real luck and things work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Easiest decision to make next summer- seal the fucking deal.We'd have our hands with Cech-Courtois, Lampard,Terry and the striker situations come this summer with the contracts and all.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think getting him is a must for a variety of reason's.We need a new long term left back with Cole getting on and Bertrand nothing more than a decent squad player. Also he is a Chelsea fan and will surely choose us if it came between us and any other club, especially is Cole departs.Also clicheish as it sounds we really need to develop a new home grown core, and he would be the perfect start to us having that.If we do sign him and make him our number 1 left back we must however have experience around him, so Terry next to him will be a must.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I would say buy him in summer 2015 when Cole realy departs or this summer and loan him back to soton for one more season. But right now, he is too young to play for us regulary, he is bloody 17 yet, however playing very good for Soton already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
