Patrick Bateman Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 In all seriousness, would you take a few million (how much, £15m?) and Bertrand? We wouldn't be in a much worse position. Go ahead, get flaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringwood Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 well Luke seems to be either ill or injured a fair amount of the time, that then disrupts the team so maybe take the largest pot of money we can and Bertrand, yes it would mean a lack of back up unless of course we feel the academy is about to produce the next left back but clearly as F-- is playing we arn't quite that far down the production line yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Depends how much we need the money I suppose. no it depends on by how much their offer veers into the realm of the absurd, mark my words we will not turn down 20 million for Shaw...count on it, we might even take less. If the press say we've turned them down it was for some derisory amount or other or no offer at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personallly know 2 left backs who'd do just as good a job as Shaw and whom we could get for 5 or 6 million, he isn't all that good...yet. Remy took him apart.

Leicestersaint Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 yes let's sell Shaw and then we can play Fox every week. If we are serious about being a top side then selling Luke Shaw should be the last thing we would consider. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead, get flaming. We'd be a hell of a lot weaker for that. Bertrand is pretty awful. And it would be hollow money really, and would go against everything the club is trying to do.

Mowgli Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 We don't need to sell. Shaw is key to this team. He doesn't want to go. We don't want him to go. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would the money give us? We'd be weaker and I don't think we'd be able to attract a player at the same level of Shaw. £30m or no £30m.

We'd be weaker and I don't think we'd be able to attract a player at the same level of Shaw. £30m or no £30m. £30m would give us the ability to sign two quality players. We could get a very good replacement for Shaw and another player to make the team better as whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead, get flaming. We don't need the money, so I'd rather have a team filled with as many academy products as possible and as JWP/LS seem to be up for the Prem etc, we should hold on to them at all costs.

Barry Sanchez Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Of course he will go, any real quality player would go to a top 7/8 team above us, perhaps after this happens we can back to reality. Will Cortese see this as business or a slap to his pride as he can not hold onto the players we groom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get a very good replacement for Shaw and another player to make the team better as whole. Who would be the 'very good replacement' for Shaw? Certainly, £30 million for Shaw is ridiculous money but I'm not convinced that there's a ready made replacement out there who would be willing to come to us instead of one of the top clubs.

That's why we have a scouting department. I'm sure we could get an excellent left back for £10m. The Left back equivalent of Lovren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardc Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Cortese seems to base his whole reputation on the academy - I cant see us selling any academy players as that would totally discredit what he is trying to nuture - and I for one would nt f**k around with what NC is trying to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get a very good replacement for Shaw and another player to make the team better as whole. Maybe. With Shaw we've got a £12m player who plays like a £12m player for Saints. Its easy enough to splash that kind of money on a new player but get £3.50 worth in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 24 December, 2013 Share Posted 24 December, 2013 I can't believe you guys are being serious about Luke Shaw. He's worth more to us than any sum of money that the London crews would be willing to splash and we desperately need him here for ever. Be careful what you write even flippantly as you could easily give the guy the wrong messages on here, he is an ardent social media follower and probably reads this forum even if he doesn't reply. Let's be totally unequivocal about this WE WANT LUKE SHAW TO STAY HERE. EFF OFF CHELSEA, ARSENAL & MANURE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 24 December, 2013 Share Posted 24 December, 2013 It would give them a superb left back for the next decade. 30m sadly isn't that much in football any more, ridiculous as that is. You lose a lot more than a left back, you lose some of the hope that you can finally keep your youngsters, you lose a bit of the team spirit and togetherness that comes from players coming through the ranks together. I can understand if we lose him to a Champions League side in a couple of years, but before that it would be silly. He's in no rush, playing top flight football every week, improving, no doubt in the England squad after the world cup. Saints will just have to try and match his ambition. What if his ambition is to play for England and play in the champions league next season? All for his beloved chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe more people haven't jumped on the state of that article. Wrong photo and a sentence midway through which doesn't make sense.

Ashley has nominated Luke as his replacement on twitter a couple of days ago, I firmly believe that that is on the instructions of his club so they can't be accuse of tapping up while still turning his head.
