Rumoured Luke Shaw

[dee25 1,044]

Apparently Mark Ogden (the journalist who broke the Moyes sacking and Fergie's retirement) has said that Shaw's transfer to Utd is basically imminent.

The only place to be

You sure did change your stance on Luke Shaw.

Wouldn't be the first time.....

So many people against Shaw here!

What the hell happened? Has everyone forgot how good he's been the last year/18 months?

Rodriguez/Moreno and anyone else from foreign leagues are as big a risk as Shaw, maybe even more as they are PL unproven.

Shaw is younger, proven in the PL and above all else, English, which will help fill our quota over the coming years.

An English player that is good enough to be in our first team squad is not to be sniffed at.

While he might be expensive (~£27M), Rodriguez (the only player better than Shaw) will nearly be as much and Moreno and others just aren't as good.

maximum price is 20 million pounds, the possibility exchange is bertrand or loan any youngster such as kalas/zouma/baker/RLC..

or we take Rodriguez from BL,,his attacking stats just insane...

Make a 20mil bid for him (even that is over paying). If he realky wants to play for us, here is his chance. Otherwise move on.

We have the money, we have the luxury to choose from different options (shaw, moreno, RR, luis ). So the ball is un our court.b

make it 15 mill and I might agree otherwise PVA or Ryan but Full internationals and HG

Dp.

30m is overpriced, but it is normal for an Englishman.

but Ryan is English and PVA is classed as one and we have them both

Bertrand is almost definitely as good as he's ever going to be i'm afraid. Shaw has the potential to be as good as Ash. Homegrown and good enough for the first team is so much better than homegrown bench/squad player.

Free is better than 30 mill as well

[ack17 205]

We even spend 32m on Willian, everyone know the transfer market is going crazy...

we must accept it.

True, but if we want to win the league we need top class players in every position, and a smattering of home grown players good enough for the first team included within that. Bertrand and PVA unfortunately don't fulfil either quality...

(1) Nobody is against him, just against the ridiculous transfer fee and no Rodriguez will not be anywhere near the same price and yes, Moreno is arguably as good. I've also seen Bernat play a bit for Valencia and he impresses me more than Shaw.

(2) Southampton want 30 million for him. They can fuck off for all I care. No one will want him for that amount and his value is very unlikely to increase anytime soon.

(3) We also shouldn't buy players for their nationality, but for their qualities. At 19, everybody was praising Micah Richards as the 2nd coming of Baresi, where is he now?

Not yet. Has the potential to be though .
