England international Luke Shaw joined Manchester United back in 2014 from fellow Premier League side Southampton in a deal worth in the region of £30 million, but his career path, along with his transfer fee, could have been very different just two years earlier.

 

It has been revealed that Arsenal could have signed Shaw back in 2012 for as little as £2 million, but Arsene Wenger believed the price was too much.

How on earth do you manage to dig up all these old threads?

It takes years of hard work and dedication but the rewards make it all worthwhile in the end.

Arsenal could have signed Shaw? .....but Wenger thought that a £2 million fee was too much ?

 

..that goes along with Rupert Lowe's decision NOT to sign the young Didier Droghba....because he thought that the player " had an attitude "

Had Wenger signed Luke Shaw for 2 million things would have been very different. We might have been relegated having to play Fox all the time while Shaw would not have gotten the necessary first team playing time to develop. Instead, he probably would have turned into another one of those injury prone Arsenal players.

at least he avoided becoming an arsenal player.
