Rumoured Luke Shaw

[The Skipper 20,593]

Doesn't matter if Shaw is English or not, he's just a top, top talent. He's already good enough to walk into our first team.

[We Hate Scouse 10,291]

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...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah, because Man City need more left-backs. Utter cunts.

[pWneR 230]

Shaw is good, but not 30 m good. If city gets him maybe we can get Kolarov or Clichy from them, both are solid.

[Toli 977]

if they really pay 30 m its over for us. will never match this sum and Southampton surely will demand the same from us if we want him.

[The only place to be 11,313]

It's a lot of money but if he does become as good as we're all hoping he could then it's not that bad. It's a gamble no doubt, but would you pay £3 million at the start of each season for Ashley Cole? I would and that's very basically what you're talking about here.

Having said that, I'm convinced the story is bullshit and I think we've got a couple of advantages. Firstly, he's a Chelsea supporter and a very vocal one at that. I'm not naive enough to think that money isn't an issue in the modern game, but this guy loves this club and we need a left-back. But I think we could also put together a comparable package for him and if that included Bertrand then that might be a better move for Southampton as well. They get a young, English left-back with the type of experience they're looking towards for their own young players.

Manchester City ‘planning £30m bid’ for Southampton star Luke Shaw

http://metro.co.uk/2014/01/12/manchester-city-planning-30m-bid-for-southampton-star-luke-shaw-4259345/

If that's true, we should bid for Coentrao

[Thendo 1,088]

If City are so desperate to get him for £30m then just let them have him. Don't get me wrong he's an amazing prospect and already a class PL player, but he just isn't worth 30m that's just absurd.

Well for starters, he's English and HG and think the City squad is lacking in that. And they probably want a long term replacement for Clichy and Kolarov..

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He won't agree to join city if he has a chance to join us. He has more competition at city anyways and could easily walk into our starting 11.

They should re-sign Wayne Bridge then!

Luke Shaw more expensive than Dani Avles, fml.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

30m? LOL. Let him go. More overrated than Hulk at that price.

[OneMoSalah 8,833]

30M is fucking ridiculous. Just go after Monero or Coentrao or someone else, fuck I don't even care if hes English, 30 fucking million.. na your alright Southampton.

[Beepu 1,714]

I like the 8m + bertrand rumour better!

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

No, he don't even know who he is, where he plays, what position, but knows he's better!
