alexf Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That price is ridiculous. Even with the English premium, I just don't get why anyone would pay that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 English players shouldn't even be more expensive. It's fucking weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Aye, but that wasn't about Andy Carroll's cost, it was the cost of our collective soul being ripped out of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He's a left back as well. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care, but 27m for a full back is daft money imo. Even now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Southampton fans are right tbf. No pressure to sell him, if Man Utd are daft enough to start at £27m, take them for as much as possible. It's still though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If they're prepared to bid £27m for him off the bat then they'll go to £30m. If he's going anyway then rinse the cunts and spend every penny you get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dave Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 They're going to spend £150m+ to get back into the title race. So fucking depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
