The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 1 good cross and a wankfest ensues! Yes, because the thread is less than 24 hours old. The fact is that most of the posts after last night's game aren't about '1 good cross'. The wankfest has been going on for a while too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well get Beckham out of retirement, heard he's good at crossing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Don't get why people are talking about his crossing. His primary job (in attack) here would be making runs in behind Eden to give him that extra bit of space to work with and provide width when we're passing the ball around.He's 18 years old and already a very solid left back who's only going to get better. He's got a sh*tload of pace which is kinda handy when you have to get up and down the field. He's comfortable on the ball which suits our playing style.He's got height and is already quite strong for an 18 year old which ,again, is only going to get better as he ages. It is a lot of money to pay for him, however the market is inflated, he's english, he's young and Southampton have a strong bargaining position. If you take all these things into consideration then it's not that suprising that Southampton are asking upwards of 25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 pardon me. There I was thinking only proven, world class fullbacks commanded record/exorbitant transfer fees in the past. I wonder how much players like Lahm, Alaba, marcelo et al would go for then £100m?. football has gone mental.well look at Coentrao (30 m), Digne (15m), Marquinhos (30 m or something like this?!). Even Varane who played in the 2nd french league did cost 10 m. The market has changed and especially with City and United as rivals, his price will go up high. Futhermore LB is one of the rarest positions in the world, so everybody tries to fix it for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can you do that? I don't think he can be loaned back to Southampton for the rest of the season. Some rule preventing it (Not sure)Well United did that with Zaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not true, he got one last season vs Chelsea, 2-2, Puncheon the scorer.Nope, he didn't. Gaston Ramirez got the assist for that one as he sort of flick Shaw's cross onto Puncheon's path to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Nope, he didn't. Gaston Ramirez got the assist for that one as he sort of flick Shaw's cross onto Puncheon's path to score.Fair enough. Anyway Alaba only has three assists this season, in his entire Career at Bayern he only has 12 assists. Baines has 0 assists this season, last season 5 and the season before that 2. Alba only has 1 assist this season, last season 5. My point is, it's not really a LBs job to get assists. It's not something you can hold against Shaw as some sort of flaw in his game...I know you only stated a fact, but certain people in this thread are trying to use it as leverage for their argument.

The Mak 4,459 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Great contribution to the thread Sorry, but I'm supposed to be on his ignore list according to him. Though, he still tries his hardest to wind me up and start arguments every now and then over pedantic things. Just letting him know that his antics don't work. It's the last time I respond to him publically anyway, sorry about that Alex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,511 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well United did that with Zahayeah. but they weren't the same league though. remember there was a rule of not loaning to same league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
