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...

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.

Rich Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has claimed that the £10m Spurs paid for Gareth Bale was ridiculous and was only because he's considered a young British talent for the future. Allardyce said that he would only cost up to 1.5m Euro's if he was from another continent and claimed that the amount of money spent on young British talent was stupidity. Obviously Shaw will have to go some to match Bale, but I just love this quote from Super Sam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much accepted that Atletico are gonna lose their entire side as well despite being top of La Liga and in a CL final. Nobody but about 5 teams are allowed anything.

Si Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hope Southampton tell them to shove it up their arse. They won't though. Man I f***ing hate how the game is now. So soulless it's unreal. It comes from the players too, would love it if he told them to fuck off he wanted to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fair price imo. Wasn't Rio that price, too? And that was an excellent investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio was a lot better at the time tbf but i do agree, they are not paying this amount for today's Luke Shaw they are paying it for the Luke Shaw in 5 years time.

jdckelly Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fair price imo. Wasn't Rio that price, too? And that was an excellent investment. he was a proven with 5 full seasons and over 150 league appearances, Shaw is very promising but still only 18, one bad injury and he may never live up to his potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thing is nowadays MAn Utd aren't top dogs and Chelsea, City or even Arsenal could snatch him up. They're acting fast. They're maybe better full backs out there but Man U have always preffered to have English players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Think English football is need of all the talent being removed from shit middling clubs and fast forwarded to the top asap. Sick of seeing non-heritage clubs do well, turns my stomach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
