Rumoured Luke Shaw

[Jase 43,479]

Do you honestly believe shaw can take on Europes elite? He is overrated. Youth does not equal success.

Maybe not now but am looking towards long term..

Will be interesting to see if we try to scupper this deal; I can't see us playing Azpi at left back next season as it destroys us going forward.

If he maintains his current form and keeps improving, 10 years from now 27m may seem like a bargain...

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

He has 0 goals and 1 assist in 39 games. Just sayin'.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Bertrand + 20 mil?

[DYC. 7,542]

Good for Utd. And I'm sure the huge fee will not be a issue since it's Utd.

I personally prefer Ricardo Rodriguez or Alex Sandro over Shaw.

But for that price you would expect immediate success.

[zolayes 14,489]

Even though the price is crazy it just pisses me off that he's basically the spitting image of the player we need and he's going to be playing for a direct rival.

Young, English, can replace his idol, and is a fan of our club. Literally the perfect transfer that would be easy as pie to sign if we actually wanted him. Apparently we don't.

young English one for the future to build our team around ,,, Josh and then Nat ,,,,,,,

I really hope we don't get in a bidding war for Luke Shaw... That would be stupid especially at this price. Just give ashley a 1 year recurring deal until we find an alternative long term option.

Ashley cole > Luke Shaw right now and for next season imo.

[Pizy 18,855]

The red mist is clouding my mind now. Starting to think to myself "fuck the price, just steal him from under United's nose."

[Waterfall 893]

But for that price you would expect immediate success.

He's already a top LB.

Gahh, why's he overrated?! I swear these terms are thrown around so loosely when it comes to football players. He's 18 and he's got potential that could make him world-class, but no-one has said he already is that. United will pay £30million for the potential and they're going to pay that because Southampton have put that sum to try and deter bids, but should a bid come in they want to financially well off.

Perhaps if he doesn't continue to rise beyond this, then he will be overrated, but he's not yet.

tried to find the world record price for a left back .. I imagine it was for Roberto Carlos ,, but I couldnt find the stats .

could someone put up some relevant figures so we can compare with Shaw

Coentrao and Alves are the most expensive full backs (30 million euros and 35.5 million euros).

Real Madrid only paid 5 mil for Carlos back in 97. At the time it was probably a lot of money but these days it's nothing.

Think Coentrao might be the most expensive at €30m.

[zolayes 14,489]

so Shaw more expensive than those .. still he is English ...
