Joshybizzle 109 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Feels like everything is kind of falling into place for this to happen, i'm a little confused about letting Bertrand go, unless as 'The only place to be' mentioned.. They don't want Bertrand, it'll be straight cash for Shaw (hopefully in this window) and we're looking to increase Bertrand's value before selling him in the summer. This makes a lot of sense to me, who's going to pay a decent price for a LB who's played a couple of hours over the whole season, or there could be another motive, he could just be out on loan so Jose can see how he is in action. But in all honesty i think if Jose had any intention of bringing Bertie into the first team we'd have seen him lining up for Cole instead of Azpi (which Bertie has got to take as a bit of an insult, considering he's playing someone out of position as opposed to a natural left sided player). My opinion is that Mourhinio has told Betrand he won't be here next season, so go and put yourself in the shop window at Villa, why won't be here next season? Because we're going to be tabling offers for Luke Shaw from now to the summer i'll bet, so even if it isn't during this window i think the club must be confident of landing him to a degree Or i could be completely wrong, but i'm not, nope, neverEver.

I don't like the idea of him playing somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Starsport revealed yesterday how Chelsea have already had a deal worth £21m turned down for Saints’ exciting young left-back.But the crisis-hit Premier League outfit have made it clear they want a world record fee (30 MIL) for a full-back, who is seen as the eventual long-term England successor to Chelsea star Ashley Cole.http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/360908/Southampton-want-30million-for-left-back-Luke-Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Cole were to get injured we are still left with one left back who is primarily a RB. And If ivanovic then got injured, we'd be fucked. Normally id say essien would fill RB but he seems on his way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our way to winning the champions league due to suspensions if i remember rightly? (Which i might not) I can't see José leaving us short in an area he knows we're a bit light so he must have something up his sleeve? Is it £20-25m for Luke Shaw this window?.. I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,961 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The chairman has said that none of their players are for sale this month.We'll either have to pay a large premium now or wait until the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Signing Shaw would be an absolutely massive statement from the club. No doubt he is wanted by City and every other top club (and also United!). He's the most sought after young English player of his calibre for quite some time. If we get him over every other Premier League club really says something. And it very much looks like that it's only a matter of time before we do.And I don't believe he'll go for £30m. We apparently wanted £25m for KDB, but we accepted £17m. It's all part of negotiations. I say we'll get him for around £20m + add ons and or Bertrand at the very maximum. Maybe this summer or the next. It all depends on Ash's contract situation and performances, but I'd imagine they'd want him here alongside Cole for at least one season so he can learn from the best.

Thendo 1,088 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 @MelanicusWell, it wasn't that likely that we would get him in january anyway, but with all the turmoil that has been at southampton the last days made it look like it would be easier to aquire players from them but now with their chairman is publicly stating that they don't plan to sell anyone and therefore denying all that, sure we could go all-in and bid a massive £30m to get him in this window, but I don't think we are that desperate and/or naive ( atleast I hope we aren't).
