If they get 10+ years out of him and he keeps improving at the rate he has done then it's a good deal, but obviously that's not guaranteed so it's a significant risk.

 

:thup:

27 undervalues him.

Laughable price. We need a lot more.

Tbf we were saying similar about Andy Carroll at a similar stage in each player's career.

Aye, but that wasn't about Andy Carroll's cost, it was the cost of our collective soul being ripped out of us.

Would imagine they'll feel quite similar while their squad of young stars gets ripped to shreds over the next year or 2.  Manager will go too.

He's a left back as well. :lol:

 

Jesus man.

 

Barca paid 30m euros for Dani Alves before he become the WC player we knew him to be.

 

Who cares if hes a fullback? if he's good enough he will effect the game enough to be worth it and he does have the talent to be worth it one day.

 

Seen many many players worse than Shaw going for similar amounts or a little less.

Dani Alves was already the absolute tits at that point and more like an unstoppable winger than a full back.

 

I don't care, but 27m for a full back is daft money imo. Even now.

While that's true, people were still questioning the motive of spending that much on a fullback at the time. Personally Shaw has the talent to be a dominant player at both ends and quite frankly the fullback is becoming a more important position every year.

 

Its not like it used to be, they are intrusted to defend, create, give another option in possession etc etc. Its crazy money right now i'm not denying that, just that a fullback if good enough can warrant spending a lot of money on and i do believe Shaw has that talent.
