Winchester Red Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Don't shoot the messenger. I have a good contact at Spurs and they expected to sign him this week but now my contact says they've lost out to Chelsea. £15m and close to £100k a week. Nearly 4 x what spurs would pay him. Don't know if there's a loan back for a year which was mooted at one point Hope it's crap but there you go
Asaint4ever Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Thought we wasn't a selling club? Thought we had money? Thought he just signed a new contract?
shurlock Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Its negative news - ergo it must be true. Mboard rulez.
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 100k a week ? Unless thats before tax I v much doubt it Besides, from what I have heard he is signing a 5 week deal soon
sussexsaint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Not yet he hasn't , but he'll sign a pro contract with us in July. He isn't going anywhere.
Dig Dig Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Its negative news - ergo it must be true. Mboard rulez. I don't know what the current mboard rules are on this. Something about not believing positive news, only negative news or is it the other way around?

Winchester Red Posted 23 May, 2013 Author Posted 23 May, 2013 As I said. Hope it's crap. You know cortese will get the best deal possible but if Shaw's agent (father?) said yes he'll sign a 5 year contract as long as it has a £15m buyout, then the club would have little choice and we wouldn't be any the wiser
Winchester Red Posted 23 May, 2013 Author Posted 23 May, 2013 It's one of the coaching team, so hearsay from above. Never know whether to pass these things on or not really
Dalek2003 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 If he wants to go, we will have to let him and get the best possible deal, The club us bigger than one individual. Still, hope it isn't true mind.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 I'd still trade him for Danny Rose and some cash (quite a lot actually)
70's Mike Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 If he goes it will be disappointing but the Club goes on
mitch01 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 I'd be very surprised if we let him go in the next 2 years.
angelman Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 If it is true then one hopes that £15m gets added to the £30m war chest. I'm not really in for buying instant success (or hopefully so) but if other clubs are going to constantly shaft us and buy all our best players.......

sussexsaint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Would go against everything he and the club have ever said, even as recently as last week.
Saint-Fred Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Luke Shaw@Luke_shaw31h Gotta love the traffic in London tweeted this so must be in London for a meeting with Abramovich Luke Shaw@Luke_shaw33h Selfridges with @AshFalloon5 and the mother @joannashaw3 and this so must be spending his 100k a week!

Toon Saint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Why the rush? Another two years playing regular prem football and he still won't have reached his 20th birthday. If we aren't matching his ambitions by then, fine. Sell him to a top 4 club for a handsome fee. He only needs to look at the development of Walcott, Chamberlain, Bale in the first 1-2 years after leaving us, to realise he would be best served by regular football. IMO can't even see Chelsea paying a 17/18-year old £100,000 a week, nor do I think we could get £15 million for him if he is yet to sign a professional contract. Would the figure not be sorted by a tribunal?...This is all hypothetical anyway, I'm pretty sure that we wouldn't have posted articles on the OS about him committing his future to us, if Cortese wasn't certain of keeping him (don't recall us ever doing anything similar with Chamberlain anyway). It would be an awful PR gaffe if he were to then leave.
Andover_Saint07 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Thought we wasn't a selling club? Thought we had money? Thought he just signed a new contract? Shaw isnt full time pro so unless he signs pro contract he can go for nothing! well panel will decide his fee...
jamesfp1 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 (edited) http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/10/southampton-luke-shaw-contract-arsenal People seem to have forgotten this. There was a massive deal made of it by the club and media. I think the OS even did a video interview for saints player celebrating the news. "To put an end to all the speculation, I will be committing my future to Southampton. I'm not going anywhere." Edited 23 May, 2013 by jamesfp1
krissyboy31 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Shaw isnt full time pro so unless he signs pro contract he can go for nothing! well panel will decide his fee... He signed a pro contact on his 17th birthday. He just can't sign a long term one until he's 18.
Saint Scott Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Can we change the thread title from 'Luke Shaw Going' to 'My mates, Aunties, Sisters, Cousins, Brothers, Uncles, Grandmothers, Sons mate who works for Spurs says they might possibly consider looking into buying Luke Shaw'. Would seem more appropriate.
BallBoy Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Why do we always have to assume that rumours are true? Anyone can post anything on a website. I do not necessarily doubt that Winchester Red has a friend at Tottenham but he could be a wind up merchant or just passing on a baseless rumour he heard himself. There is basically nothing in this. Last week we had all sorts of rumours about Cortese's position which turned out to be nothig at all.
Winchester Red Posted 23 May, 2013 Author Posted 23 May, 2013 £100k a week is crazy, I agree Chelsea are crazy though, so wouldn't rule it out on that alone. Can a twitterer ask him directly. Maybe we can get a straight denial. An evasion wouldn't be good
hypochondriac Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 If shaw leaves this summer then it will call into question everything we have been doing. Nothing will have changed since we let the ox go. He won't go this summer imo.
Winchester Red Posted 23 May, 2013 Author Posted 23 May, 2013 That's a bit unfair when I know one of the coaching staff and he told me directly
100% Saint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Bullsh1t, now were in the Prem with a £60 million minimum prize money next year I highly doubt that we are going to sell any of our key players, if we want to achieve the goal of top 4 in the future we cannot sell them . I mean B!tch please...

danner Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 I work with somebody that knows him well i'm trying to find out if he knows anything
Turkish Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Its negative news - ergo it must be true. Mboard rulez. It's clearly bo locks.
Dig Dig Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 It's clearly bo locks. Listen mate, just because you don't like what you read, it doesn't mean it's not true. Next you'll be asking him for proof! You couldn't make it up!!!
Batman Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 So, he would be the 2nd highest paid player at spurs after Bale's new deal? I doubt that Also, of he is not a pro yet. How would we get £15m for him?
lifeintheslowlane Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 He's just tweeted from Harrods!! You know what this means...he's going to FULHAM!!
