We can't go another season with Azpi at LB. Hazard will be off to PSG/Madrid/Barca if that happens again. A player like Shaw would help bring the best out of Eden, Azpi at LB only hinders our best player.

How do you mean?

Hazard needs someone to link up with. Azpi can't do that.

Azpi was one of our best players, so how did he hinder Eden ?

He was great at the back, in defense i agree with that, but not really involved bombing forward

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If Azpi will deploy as right back next season, I bet there will be rumours about Ivanovic when January transfer window open : "not happy", "want to go", "need a game time", "too much competition", "Ivanovic want to follow Luiz", "PSG closed in Ivanovic", etc.

It had to have been frustrating for Eden having to take on 2-3 defenders almost every time he got the ball. Even with those 2-3 defenders he still managed a great season and was our best player.

Imagine how good he'd look with a decoy up there with him who defenders actually have to worry about and account for. They didn't have to do that with Azpi since he rarely ever overlapped and played off of Eden.

Shaw or RR would help take Eden to a whole new level. A level where he's in Ballon d'or territory.

Seriously I would rather pay 30 for Shaw than 20 for Luis...

We got even more money with Luiz sale and Shaw is homegrown, Luis is 29 y.o. and makes no sense paying 20mio for him.

Just take Shaw for 30 or Rodriguez for 20m...

Totally.

What's with the Ricardo Rodriguez hype on this forum? People are even abbreviating his name now lol, from the 3/4 games I've watched since KDB signed for Wolfsburg he looks like the Spanish version of Leighton Baines (inflated stats due to him taking set-pieces) but even worse defensively.

Shaw on the other hand is the closest thing to a Phillip Lahm/Ashley Cole type defender instead of another failed winger and a homegrown Chelsea fan.

I hope we manage to sign a LB before the WC, as this Shaw saga has had several twists and turns already.

Spanish Leighton Baines? Lol. You realize, even though he is in the Bundesliga and not the PL he won more tackles and aerial duels than Shaw and had more interceptions? Not exactly weak defensively.

Shaw is the next Lahm/Cole? Pump your brakes their, bud. He's 18. He has potential but let's hold off on calling him Lahm/Cole. That's disrespectful to those legends.

I see the muppets on twitter going wild because Shaw has just followed a bunch of United players. Looks like this one is edging closer and closer with " talks set to resume today" between the clubs.

It's almost certainly going to be one we'll regret letting slip away from us in the future, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Like Aguero...

Fortunately finding a good fullback will be much easier (and cheaper) than signing a world class striker.

Just fucking imagine how incredible we'd be with Agüero right now...

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Does Jose Mourinho guarantee playing time to anyone? An 18 yr old LB will not be the exception.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Also with Filipe Luis agent saying his client might not be interested in leaving Atletico we are a bit fucked. With Liverpool also bid 16m for Moreno, I think they will get him too. Basically from 4 good options to choose from now we are possibly down to only Rodriguez-who we are not even linked with.

Really really hope we do a Hazard on MU with Shaw, find out what Southampton accepted and offer the same, while at the same time promise Shaw bigger wages than MU will.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If we're not going to buy him, I hope he stay at Southampton. Didn't MU just renew Evra contract for one more year? why they're after Shaw for?
