Rumoured Luke Shaw

[Pizy 18,548]

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.

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.

Well, 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).

If something happens to cole, azpi can't be backup for LB, because he's a BEAST at RB

I'm already more than happy with Matic this window, fact is Jose have to do something about LB, but i 100% trust anything what will he do, even if he keeps only cole..

Just chill and wait for things to move on.

I honestly think they'd be tempted if we made a £20m offer.

The way things are with that tart owner she would probably blow Emanalo off too.

[Waterfall 893]

With Bertrand gone for rest of the season, I think we are bringing someone in.

LB: Azpi, Cole

CB: JT, Cahill, Luiz

RB: Ivanovic, Azpi

That's 6 for 4 positions assuming Kalas will go out on loan. Maybe we are thinking about converting Schurrle to a LB lol

If we don't get Shaw this month then the club should not send Kalas out on loan. It'd be the perfect opportunity for him to get a few games and also would save us spending on a Plan B left back.

Shaw should be the only left back that we should be interested in. If he moves to another club then its a different situation but until then Jose should try Kalas out.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Really dont understand why would we loan out Bertrand if we are not bringing in another LB.Cole has been average at best this season and Azpi gives us more balance when he plays on the right side.Really hope we bring in another LB whether it is shaw or Coentrao.

[Special Juan 27,622]

Yeah, this isn't sitting right with me, Bertrand out on loan and Cole not exactly setting anything alight this season leaves me both worried and also stunned as to why with a capable LB in Ryan we have allowed this to happen. Ok, so we know Dave can play there, but as well as injuries suspensions can also happen and I'm not a fan of square pegs in round holes even though Dave is more than capable of playing there.

I hope to fuck this doesn't back fire, lets get Shaw this window.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I dont believe Jose loaned out Bertrand and wont bring anyone in. Lb was already problematic because of Coles age and Ryans inexperience but now its even worse. A lb is comming in, im quite certain of it.

Seems logic, Rodriguez is amazing Lb, better than Shaw. But we seriously need more english players in first team, thats why we should sign Shaw.

Southampton have told Chelsea it will take a bid of £25 million to sign teenage star Luke Shaw (via @gstobart) #CFC #SaintsFC

^Rodriguez is by no means better than Shaw.

Actually yes he is.

[The Mak 4,459]

The only thing I'd worry about buying a new LB is Mourinho's insistence that Ivanovic is somehow a better RB than Dave, even though Ivanovic's contribution going forward is in minus figures since the opposition is never concerned with him as all he does it cross it to no one 99 times out of 100. A combination of Shaw or Rodriguez along with Azpilicueta would be amazing. A Ivanovic combination, not so much.

Shaw all day for me
