beatlesaint Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 He has committed himself to Southampton, the only way he will not be here is if NC decides to sell him. He said in January his future was here, nothing will have changed that, we haven't been relegated. The sooner we get to 12 July and he signs that contract the better and people on here can relax about it, just like they have about Morgan.........

Saint Charlie Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 £10m. Lol If Chamberlain went for £15m after a L1 season then IMO Shaw's market value is way in excess of 20m, no need for us to sell too.

SNSUN Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 (edited) http://www.fanatix.com/news/arsenal-and-inter-milan-face-race-to-sign-of-french-midfielder/119668/ Now it's Morgan. I'm not normally a pessimist, but we face an important summer of trying to stop the big boys from buying our best players. Shaw, Morgan, Clyne, Cork, JRod, Lambert and Lallana could all be courted by somebody, with perhaps Morgan and Luke being the most sought after. Some people say that we're not a selling club, but aren't we? I for one will get sick of the press speculation over the next couple of months, especially as Luke has to wait until mid-July to sign his contract. Who do YOU think we'll realistically have to sell, if anyone? Edited 19 May, 2013 by SNSUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farawaysaint Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 these journos dont yet understand that the game has changed at Saints. I'm sure they do, but they need an exciting rumour to sell papers and Shaw is hot property at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cestrian Saint Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 He'd be daft to go at this point in his career. We all know what his options are. Stay at Saints and play regular 1st team football or play 4 or 5 League Cup matches and warm the bench (if he's lucky) at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 He has to stay. We play decent football. He is allowed to get forward We are on the up and he is out no.1 in that position.

SNSUN Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 As much as I want to keep Shaw, I still hope we sign a left back as good, if not better, than Luke, to provide solid competition. (Clyne likewise with a right back.) It's a long season as we've seen, and both Luke and Nate have picked up niggling injuries at times, especially Luke. Tell him he's first choice, let him sign the contract, then go out and bring in a top left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 Another couple of articles by bloggers insisting that Chelski have the upper hand in the race to sign him, ahead of Arsenal and Spurs. And then the idiot bloggers suggest that £10 million should be enough, not even considering the basic laws of supply and demand which suggest that if all three of those clubs wanted him, the price would be inflated upwards. Cretins. And naturally these idiots don't know enough about us to realise that our ownership and ambitions do not necessitate the sale of players we wish to keep. If we had a player worth £10 million or £15 million or whatever, we would probably need to spend that amount to replace him. And why would we do that when we already have him here? Of course we could spend that money on two or three players costing lesser amounts, but would the sum of the parts add up to what the likes of Shaw brings to the team now and in the future?

alehouseboys Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 Would love to keep him but I certainly wouldn't begrudge him the move. As one of our previous managers said, "I'd walk over broken glass" to play for my club. At least it'd free up the Luke Shaw/Theo chant for Pochettino...

Saint Garrett Posted 20 May, 2013 Author Share Posted 20 May, 2013 I'm surprised at some of the Chelsea fans comments on their forum. Basically quite a few saying that £10m is ok, others saying that its steep. He's 17, English, and just had an amazing first season in the Prem. I don't think Cortese would entertain anything less than £20m. He would look pretty stupid if he let Shaw go for less than that, especially after everything he's said. I'm pretty certain he won't be going anywhere anyway, but he is an incredible talent, and he will more than likely go to a bigger club one day.

Suomi Saint Posted 20 May, 2013 Share Posted 20 May, 2013 Shaw won't be going anywhere....we are in the PL now and I doubt whether Luke has a father who is trying to engineer a move to supplement his pension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmel Posted 20 May, 2013 Share Posted 20 May, 2013 Some extremely naïve posters on this thread. Ahead of any players coming in for next season, our biggest task is holding onto the ones we've got. Whatever Shaw says now or in the past, if Chelsea make a 15 million, 60k a week bid and he wants to go, he will and I imagine his father will be the first person to assure him it's for the best. That's nothing against his Dad, its just what any good Dad would do. Regardless of the Liebherr money, we are still a selling club. Not quite to the extent of previous years, but ultimately if one of the top four or five clubs want one of our players and the players want to go - They will. Cortese's job at that point is to get the best deal he can and I think we are all fairly confident, in his abilities to do that. We will lose at least one player, who we would want to keep, this coming transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomi Saint Posted 20 May, 2013 Share Posted 20 May, 2013 I'm afraid I have to disagree. It's not naivety but trust in the vision of our Chairman. The only player I could see possibly leave is MS - only because he is French and Wenger might tap him up. Luke would be mad to leave at this stage of his development; he can always go to Chelsea if he wants when he is the ripe old age of 21/22 and can make it in their side. Why would he want 60k for sitting doing nothing? He's a young lad who obviously loves playing football. He may well be on 15K in July anyway, which I'm sure he will be more than happy with.

The Cat Posted 20 May, 2013 Share Posted 20 May, 2013 He'll be on 20k a week.

I don't doubt the vision of our Chairman - He had the same vision when Arsenal signed Chamberlain. That's not a dig at him at all, simply an example of the dynamics of football. Shaw will sign a contract of us, I am sure of that - That protects him and allows the club to get a decent fee for him, but to quote your example if you think a four fold payrise and the chance to play for Mourihno, his childhood team, challenge for the title and play Champions league football, wouldn't be enough to convince him to move your mad. As sad as it is, a 60k a week 5 year deal is over 15 million quid and being on the bench won't be a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
