cadenza666 221 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 good. rather have the experience of Filipe Luis in a Champions League final than paying 34m plus (42m Euros) and 100k per week in wages to a teenager. Good player but overpriced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Definitely overpriced, but the reported £100k/week wage is just ridicolous and shows utds desperation... Would have liked him playing for us, but not on those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severinb 309 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 One of the players I wanted most here with barkley/stones but the price is just out of this world! Utd ruining english talent with that amount of money 34£mil and 100k per week is crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,959 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sky now confirming he's due a medical there.Look forward to watching Luis completely outperform him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,959 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Luke Shaw for more than Cesc Fabregas.Just think about that. A world class player who's played for and starred in some of the biggest clubs in the world and for the best national team ever will be cheaper than an 18 year old LB.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The price is ridiculous, but the bad taste remains. Genuine chelsea fan and english player that we lost...I do believe he will join us in few years once his contract expires if he is such big cfc fan as he says.

Pizy 18,959 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If City or ourselves had payed that much for him we'd be slaughtered.Get ready for the "Absolutely brilliant business by United. He's world class and will be for a decade" shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you're a small side and manage to develop an English talent, you can run an entire club on selling them off.The thing is, THIS is the only way top teams will take English talent to the 'next level', because of the huge fee.. they will persist with Shaw even on off-days. If Bertrand or whoever has a bad game, that's that.. it's all about the return on investment, but there has to be investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No thanks, 30m for English 'talent' is way too much... Glad he's going to Utd for that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be at United for at least a decade. Only way he moves to another English side is if he flops terribly and goes to a small club. No way would United sell or allow him to go to a rival.

No way would United sell or allow him to go to a rival.In five years, his contract is off without extention. Sure things change, but he looks to be mad on chelsea and could push through in few years time. He doesnt extend and United will have to sell, or they will lose it on free. But thats just speculation. If he realy performs well, and we expres interest, I can see Cole type move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker to the rescue I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just throw a shit ton more in wages at him by the time his contract runs down.Aaron Ramsey was supposedly a United fan for example. Doesn't mean much at all to footballers.

I was saying we'd be overspending by 15m to get Shaw. He's nowhere near worth what he's going for its clear as a summer's day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
