Rumoured Luke Shaw

[Jype 6,398]

You have to bear in mind the contracts Bertrand, Moses, Marin etc are on. Southampton most probably wouldn't want to pay what Chelsea do so it's not as easy as 25m + this player.

None of those players are on more than £40k a week, could be even less. Southampton are paying somewhere around the £60-70k a week region to their best paid players so matching for example Bertrand's current deal would be easy for them if they wanted to. Also, with the new broadcasting deal plus the sales (Shaw, Lallana?) they're getting loads of extra money so Southampton can afford to start paying more in both transfer fees as well as wages, they already started last year with getting the likes of Dani Osvaldo for a club record fee and big wages.

All valid points. I think it'll come down to Southampton having a good academy and being able to produce their own players. I just can't see them replacing their 18 year old LB with a 25 year old player on a Chelsea salary.

They have got another youngster called Matt Targett coming through as left-back. Some fans down there rate him as being another Chambers so whether they'd want a Bertrand is debatable.

SkyBet suspended betting on Luke Shaw's next club, saying they believe an agreement is in place but do not know who with.

Is this true?

Cause the same thing happened before David Luiz signed for PSG.

Yes http://www.skybet.com/football/transfer-specials, they have removed it so looks like it is true.

Barkley is looking good, in my book.

I noticed Chambers when he played against us at their place, he looked very promising.

Concerning Shaw, Southampton received an offer, however, he has not transferred yet with a reported huge increase in wages...

With Evra signing an extension, is he afraid of the competition now or waiting for Chelsea to offer him?

He's waiting for Chelsea!

Bookies suspending betting isn't always a sign of something happening. Based on flow of bets. Only ironic thing is, the market got suspended day after we sell Luiz for £50m. Fair chance people started lumping money on him joining us, and bookies closed the market

Looks like Agger is a Napoli player.

I don't think the Evra situation will affect him. It's a 1-year extension.. United are losing Vidic, Rio and Giggs, they will lack leaders on the pitch so I feel this was done for appearances and so that LvG can identify the leaders of his Man United. Shaw would still play more than Evra though.

And he probably hasn't transferred yet because Roy Hodgson has banned agents from England's training camp as he does not want them thinking about their transfer issues during preparation/the actual tournament.

Depends how far along Utd deal is. With there being no announcement it's possible we could enter the chase
