Another kid we could have potentially had for free but no we will have to pay at least 10-15m for..

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Ryan. Had he stayed with us, his development probably won't have happened the way it did right now and we'll maybe just be sending on loan to here and there and everywhere..

He was rejected for being 'too small'.

How can you reject a teen for being "too small". They gro unconsistently. Now, he is 18 and 1,85, 75 kg. Not big but decent for a footballer

Was the same for Christian Eriksen with us...

dunno. Heard it when we played them in the league last year (away tie)

Another great performance against a top team. Should replace Cole for club and country.

Agreed. And we absolutely MUST buy him before United do.

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.

[Phil Driver 503]

He will need champions league football and he will not get that at Southampton ,he should be a Chelsea player in the near future.

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.

Think it will also depends on whether Mourinho actually wanting him or not as he might have a preference for someone else instead.

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.

baker, chalobah, loftus-cheek, josh, swift, brown, kiwomya, kane.

shaw is very talented, but so are this guys. and they are all Englishmen.

[mediator 2,026]

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, ...

I wish they suceed, but at Chelsea, conditions for talents are terrible, last who was brought from academy was Terry...I honestly wouldnt put too much hope on these kids...they will need play time to evolve and there is no chance that they will get it among all the players we buy every year. Maybe Chalobah or RLC if we have real luck and things work out.
