iseah100 5,612 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It's not a ridiculous argument. Experience is important. In a big game, where you need a shut out, you want a 28 year old experienced left back, not a 18 year old who has potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Yeah but paying 26 mio euros for 28 y.o. is not that good either. In two years time, he will decline and we will have to spend another 20mio on new full back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Well this is bad cause he supposed to care since his planning for the future. He wants to be here for a long time. So a manager that wants to be here for a long time, would go for Shaw then Luis. That's the way I see it. Especially giving that he's english and we are low on HG players. Yes for sure I prefer Jose to sign a younger LB like Shaw for the future, but that suppose to happen only if last season we won PL or CL, I think. Therefore he could start thinking for the future, because he still have one "trophyless season handicap" in his mind.Now, I think even Jose know that he couldn't survive another trophyless season. So he should do anything he can to win the trophy next year. He need all the experienced players to do the job with instant impact to achieve his objective. Maybe after we win something next season, then he could start thinking for long term plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toli 977 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Atletico have reached an agreement with Granada over the signing of Siqueira. Would be the replacement for Luishttp://www.marca.com/2014/06/03/futbol/equipos/atletico/1401811137.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Sounds like Guilherme Siquiera off to Atletico apparently. This opens the door to Luis if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y123CFC 69 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 What do you think this means for Ivanovic then?I assume Azpi would move back to right back. Ivanovic won't want to just start the odd game here and there.I'm asking because I have seen a few reports linking him to PSG (surprise surprise haha ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thendo 1,088 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Still on the fence on this transfer. He's a quality left back who will certainly improve us, but his age and reported fee is quite worrying. A price around 10 - 12m would be reasonable, but the reported numbers of £20m + is just silly for a 28 year old left back.. Would rather we just splash 5m more and throw in Bertrand or something for Shaw, who might be less experienced but is still one of the best left backs in premier league at the age of 18 and would help us keep an "english core" in the team. Then again in the end, it's up to how Mou and the board feel about it and I trust them to make the best choice for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'd rather Shaw but would be content enough with Luis.To reply to the question what would happen with Branislav..simple, he remains in our matchday squad whenever healthy and eligible.Dave will i expect start more games at RB than him but Bran will get enough starts at RB and CB..he will be great cover for both positions and with JT's age and injury history,plus suspensions that is crucial.sometimes injuries are not thought about before they happen but every starter needs a good back up especially since the transfer window era started.Keeping Bran will allow us to keep atleast one of our young stud CB's in the squad,with 3 veteran CB's on the books.Whoever has the best squad wins the league title these days..the days of winning it with under 15 good players are over.
