He seems like a big step up to the previous managers.

Really a team now to be careful of.

Best they will be challenging for is 3rd/4th and that requires them to be on Harry's team form a couple of years ago(beating the likes of MU, Arsenal, us...etc) so they aren't really a worry for us or City. Well not unless they suddenly decided to sign someone like Cavani. We will finish 1st/2nd next season, I am confident of that.

This year? I don't think so. Shaw is a self proclaimed CFC fan, and with the LB spot pretty open right now I don't think there would be any reluctancy from him.

No, I meant last season and in Jan. He made it clear he wants to stay. I'd imagine that has changed this summer.

If we have money to throw around then ok, but our priority should be striker or two and a CM or two. And then a LB. <br />

If there is any chance you compromise on other targets to sign Shaw, I don't agree with that. Worst case scenario you continue with our player of the year Azpi. I rather do that then start the season with a Matic and Ramires pivot. <br />

<br />

Striker - 40m<br />

CM - 30-40M<br />

<br />

If money left over the make a bid for Shaw. If not, continue with Azpi.

Sources saying we're going to be paying 19 mn for Luis. In what world is doing that better than 30 mn on Shaw while locking down your LB position for 12 or so years?

I could understand if we'd been signing someone like Moreno for half of Shaw's price. Now we'll just be spending another 20 or so 3 years down the line on someone else (unless you believe the club will play Aina or Ake when Luis leaves ... in which case, more power to you).

Well Ake was promoted to the squad when Bertrand went out on loan and he's been playing a fair bit at left-back.

The fact is that we could buy the left-back of La Liga champions and Champions League finalists for less money and less wages than we'll get Shaw. He's a massive gamble no matter which way you slice it.

Signing a 28 year old LB for 20 million doesn't make sense...when you can get Shaw for another 8-10 million.
