MerceSaint28 Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Can't help thinking that seeming as Chelsea want Shaw so badly, we are in a great position to take some of their players... How does this sound - Luke Shaw plus £5mill for Kevin De Bruyne and Demba Ba Ba would be fantastic at Saints and give us the pace and finishing we need up top...always causes us problems. De Bruyne is a top quality attacking midfielder who can play anywhere in midfield and is a playmaker...obviously makes far too much sense so won't happen but just putting it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Ba wouldn't pass a medical and given the wages he commands I am not sure we'd take that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 I hear a lot bout Shaw to chelsea but i just can't picture Jose Mourinho giving games to a teenage left back. It's not his style yo. Don't reckon will happen anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kucho Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Nope. £15m + Bertrand, De Bruyne and Lukaku and we'll talk! 20m + Mata, Ivanovic and Lukaku seems a reasonable deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom28 Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Not a rumour, but Micah Richards would be a good acquisition in my opinion, as a centre back. He can't get in the City squad at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Richards and De Bruyne would tempt me, but not sure we like to sign players who have already played elsewhere in the prem. Also coming from City and Chelsea respectively they'd be on high wages already. Jovetic would also be tempting if he's not injured too long as a loan deal for the rest of the season to give us an alternative up top - not going to play for City much.

doggface Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Yep plenty of decent players at Chelsea I would take in a heart beat. Probably the only way I would be up for selling shaw in jan. lukaku would bite your hand off De Bryne Ba perhaps though he has dodgy knees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 He's not. Pelligrini has said so today and said he's been left out because he needs 'to do more'. Well ok, he has only recently come back then. Though I agree he would be a good signing he would also be expensive, high wages and we could do with a CB that can play LB if he had to. Thats all IMO anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying during one of Man City's last TV Games the physio's first thought he had a knee injury, then they thought it was something else, now they have no idea whats up with him and think its a mental/confidence issue. Sad really for such a talent player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_saints Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 if we were selling shaw, I would rather take cash without any player swaps. we are definitely going to need the money to bring in a replacement of the same level. only once we secured a replacement then do we think about using any excess money, if any. no point having de bruyne in attack when we have fox as our first choice lb.

ART Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 This. We need to set a precedent with Shaw really as a statement we're serious about developing good players for our squad. I'd like to agree but seeing how Theo and Ox have fared I think we'd do well to cash in on fragile Shaw before he gets crippled permanently and no longer worth anything. Compare the young Wayne Bridge in the Premiership and Shaw today in the Premier League. Bridge was never injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenilworthy Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 I agree with the point, but some of the names quoted on the list were actually very successful for us. In 83/84 Frank Worthington played an integral role in the best season I or any other Saints supporter is likely to see. I wouldn't call that a failure. Joe Jordan scored 17 goals in 61 games and led the line brilliantly in 84/85 when we qualified for Europe. Horne was an important member of the side in the late 80s playing 148 games. Petrescu had an amazing record when he first joined us - we won five in a row and he scored the winner twice - it just went wrong when Hoddle, who had signed him, moved on.

Viking Warrior Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Given the lack of transfer activity across the board . Is it possible that there maybe some movement in the next few days dependent on the results of league cup Ist leg semi finals.

Even if he had to be pushed about in a wheelchair or hobble about on crutches he could still look at buying a house surely.
