cadenza666 221 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 absolute priority position considering Ash has gone. perfect for the HG quota but 30m and the 100k wages per week the reported amount he was going to be paid at United, not too sure ...especially when you have Ricardo Rodriguez available between 18-20m Euros (and who is statistically better than Luke Shaw, Alberto Moreno and Filipe Luis in major categories!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let united have shaw if Southampton is really asking for that much money for a lb. I'm sure the kid will be class one day, but he's not worth it at the moment.

mannyfreshh 164 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 If he was Romanian he'd cost 5m max and the club you're buying from would make statues of all the Chelsea representatives in front of their stadium Vidic cost united 7million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the kid will be class one day, but he's not worth it at the moment.Filipe Luis ruled out a move today buddy, says he has 3 more years left on his contract and no intention to quit. guess its Ricardo Rodriguez / Moreno unless we plan to do a willian or salah on united lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledg 643 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We are paying for his nationality. If he was Bulgarian, he would cost 10-15m max!I'm happy that you are pricing our footballers so highly but they would cost little more than 5m only because Chelsea want them.

mannyfreshh 164 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Was over on the Man U board and they are worried that shaw will sign for us.. They feel the longer this deal takes to become official, that shaw will sign with us.. I have a feeling shaw will be a united player next year because they are willing to pay 27+ for him.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We should sign him, even if it is for 25 million.He is english, and he is a fantastic ball player as well as a defender.he CAN cross the ball really well.We need a player like him, as a successor to Ashley cole.25 million for a 7-8 year stint is worth the money.He isnt even at his peak yet. And when he plays with the WC players we have, i can imagine him becoming that much better instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea got Salah for a bargain IMO. If he was English, he would have cost £30m + for a fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 People are overblowing the English thing. Yes it's a factor in his price but don't forget that he's an 18 year old starting every week in the Premier League, and doing a damn good job at it too. He'd be expensive if he was Bulgarian or British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,154 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 If we really are in for him along with United then I have no doubt we match or even outbid United and he comes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 No left back in the world is worth £25m + if FFP wasn't something we were held back by, I'd say let's do it. The money is better spent elsewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money is better spent elsewhere though.£25 million is a lot but it's not too bad. If he's the full-back we all hope he can be for the next 12 years then it's actually a bargain. The problematic part is probably the wages to be honest. £100k p/w is a crazy amount and it sets him up to be earning 200-250k p/w by the time he's 27 with the way wages are going.With the money we've got from transfers and the wages we're saving then it's very doable, and it's not like we need to spend massively elsewhere (beyond Costa).

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We still need to sign a partner for Matic....which will probably cost 30-40 million depending on the playerAnd we have more than enough in the coffers to afford that. Let's say we get Shaw for around £25m, we still have £15m~£25m left from Luiz's transfer alone. Add in the money we saved from January, plus wages saved from not renewing a few contracts, plus the impending sales from the likes of Ba, Mikel, Bertrand, Romeu etc; and not to forget the rest of our actual summer budget (minus the Costa transfer)... It's more than affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I reckon [may have said it in previous post] we have close to £100m-ish to spend. £50m off Luiz, the remaining sum from January roughly £24m plus any revenue from TV and competitions entered.

Rekin 835 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I do not really think that the fee is the big issue with Shaw. The money remaining from January in combination with the Luiz fee can basically cover Shaw and Costa by itself. I am also quite certain that players like Moses, Marin, Romeu and one of Torres/Ba will leave, they will propably add £15-20m between them.Chelsea also have a transfer budget that is unrelated to sales that is not exactly unsubstantial.The team could propably see additions like Shaw (£30m), Costa (£32m) & Pogba/Vidal (£50m) without having more than a ~£35m net spend, and would still see an overall decline in wages.The issue is whether it is worth paying £30m and £100k/week for an 18-year old who while good does in no way yet warrant such money. The issue becomes more complicated when we add cheaper options (that include better players) such as Moreno and Rodriguez (and possibly Sandro).I would not be sad if we ended up with Shaw, but I would propably feel more Confident about the upcoming season with RR in leftback.I also consider that Mou played Ivanovic as right back because of his aerial ability, and I know which one of Shaw and RR is better in the air.If Cesar is going to displace Ivanovic then we would have two players on the flanks who are weak aerially.
