Rumoured Luke Shaw

[Muzchap 8,966]

Sign this guy immediately - £20-25 million over the next 15 years is FUCK ALL

he is a beast! Him and Hazard on the left - just wow!

He is a young Ashley Cole - if not better at the same age - we need to sign him at ALL costs

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I love the kid and hope we do get him but Im starting to think pple are now overatin him a bit. Hope it does not get to his head, still has a lot to learn. Also I dont think a fullback is worth more than 20 mill. I would pay 15-20 mill to get him not more than tht

[The_Flash 1,144]

Just watched the England game. He looked very nervous as he went on. I thought that was nice like it meant something to him .

Yeah but if other clubs want him the price rises. plus Southampton do not have to accept a bid - he's under contract.

25million over 14 years is £1.7m year... VERY AFFORDABLE

I think that's the ballpark figure for him.

I thought he had an excellent game tonight - really pushed on and gave width / space to the team...

I'm so glad we didn't sign Rooney - he was poor!

Sturridge also looked poor - he needs to play in a 2 man attack to get the best out of him - I don't think he would have cut it here - but I still rate him as a player...

Thought Cahill played well and it was that useless twat from Utd making our defence look shit - smalling = garbage...

-----------Courtois-----------

Ivan---Cahill---Terry---Shaw

Can see this being our back 5 next term with Azpi providing the rotation option at full back (both sides) and Zouma being gradually bled in (can see us selling Luiz and sending Kalas on loan). Can also see us changing Cech for Courtois, Mou has already shown with Ash and Essien that he doesn't do sentiment's.

Would like the look off that defence if im honest, would offer a good balance and we will probably have Kane, Omerou and Kalas on loan incase of injury crisis.

[Rmpr 8,977]

We need to make him top priority!

Home grown, young, loves Chelsea, is actually pretty good, etc...

[didierforever 7,349]

Haven't watched him too much. Looks great going forward but is he good enough defensively?

He is "good enough" defensively. Not great but decent. Its his attacking contribution plus his good crosses and workrate that sets him apart.

But if there is one manager under whom u expect his defensive game to bloom, its jose.

[boshman 1,073]

We have to buy this boy in the summer as Ash's succsessor! I thought he was fantastic last night in a poor game. Attacking wise he was very impressive and even defensively where i thought he was a little suspect he did well.

Chelsea fan growing up. No brainer for me. He has to be a major target!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Rumour has it that he has a house being built in leafy Surrey.

To be fair it's only about an hour from Southampton so not really anything to get too excited about.

So is he gonna sign a 14 yr contract? That is a really foolish way to look at an investment.

Weird. Azpilicueta is arguably the best LB in England right now...

Would prefer Azpi starting over Ivan in most games where teams sit back because Azpi is just as good, if not even better defensively as Ivanovic (apart from his aerial game).

Azpi will get more than enough games covering both positions, it good to have a player who can cover both FB positions effectively gives us an extra squad place.

It's fake mate lol. Hopefully we see Sky Sports actually tweeting this in the summer though!

If he stays for 14 years - the NET effect is £1.7million

How is that foolish?

People were using the argument that he was 'over priced' - I'm putting it into context... If we buy him now and keep him until he retires - it's not THAT much...

Ala Lampard and Cole....

I think this is exactly the type of player and deal we would be looking at... Sure we might have to restrict to a 5 year deal and amortise over that period - in which case could be 4 or 5 million year. But this guy at LB and Azpi at RB makes a lot of sense!

[Term-X 7,891]

Considering Jose's love affair with Ivanovic + Azpilicueta pretty much nailed on at left back for the next 5/6 years, signing Shaw would be pretty superfluous.

Shame really, in regards to the english core we'll be losing, right player/wrong time.
