Rmpr 8,977 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Shaw is great and I think the club should embrace new English talents, but he is not worth half the amount the media is throwing around!With that price, Chelsea could easily trigger Diego Costa's release clause and solve our long ST problem...

Toli 977 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 ChelsTransferGossip @ChelsTransfer 2h Mourinho (1/2): "We have Ashley Cole and we have Cesar Azpilicueta in LB. Because Bertrand is leaving I'm bringing Ake now to the squad..." ChelsTransferGossip @ChelsTransfer 2h Mourinho (2/2): "and even in an emergency Luiz or Ivanovic can play left-back. So even though Cole is specialist LB we don't have problems" Seems like we wont get any LB this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well we are already well covered there with *******". Often saying there is no need to buy and such, I wouldn't take his words as the truth as it's most likely than not just a part of his negotiation tactic.

Polo7 3,496 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 25million for a relatively unproven left back. Ridiculous isn't even enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Sorry I disagree. Rodriguez looks better for my money. I like Shaw, think he's gonna be a nice player but I have Rodriguez ahead in every category. He looks like a complete LB. Rodriguez is 3 years older than Shaw and barely has more top league experience than him. For Shaw to be not just holding his own but also impressing in the Premier League when he was just 17 is a remarkable achievement. He has all the tools to get better too which is why the price is so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,961 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just watched one of those YouTube compilation videos of this Rodriguez kid.He...looks pretty fucking good. Anyone can be made to look great on YouTube, mind, but if he regularly plays like that and is still only 21 I can see why we're rumored to be after him.I'd prefer Shaw still, but I think we'd do well to get either.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 In a normal situation, I can't be bothered which left back we get as long as they are quality and can be of great for us but for the sake of retaining the English core in our squad, which we are lacking beyond Terry, Cole and Lampard, we need to get Shaw in.

Pizy 18,961 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm watching him closely here against Sunderland.His ball control and link up play with the forwards has been impressive in the opening minutes.I'm just imagining him linking up with Hazard on our left side.

Korea 734 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I watched the second half of the game this morning and Shaw was ok.....He can run forward well, but besides that Im not really seeing much else... However, this season, I've only watch a handful amount of games from him, so I am prob wrong.....I dont really see this best lb potential people rave about. I see more of a teenager playing for a midtable team whose body mature well for a footballer... The funny thing is his other mate on the other side is prob better than him...

How much do you think rodriguez will cost? We aren't talking about a club in financial difficulty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 How much do you think rodriguez will cost? We aren't talking about a club in financial difficulty.. Good question.I dont know. However, if the valuation is 30m for Shaw, which would imply he is the best lb or at least top 5 in the world... Which is def. not the case.Im sure Rodriguez would be cheaper, not sure bout how much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans have a connection with him alreay, being born in kingston upon thames, supports chelsea and english. If the difference is only £5m between the two, it's shaw every time for me.

If your valuation is 30m, you better be world class lb or close to it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your valuation is 30m, you better be world class lb or close to it.... This whole £30m price tag came from a metro article. Don't believe for one second he'll go for that much.Also, if his heart is only set on chelsea, it doesn't matter what city/united offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
