Bet you're buzzing off this news Duncan!

Come on, let's hear it then...

I doubt we got any merchandise revenue from Japan, they don't even consider Chung to be Japanese.

Same thing happens to Gaston, has to do everything 100% perfectly.

Evidence that we're a little short of a bob or two?

In 6 months, people will be complaining that he loses the ball and doesn't work hard enough with a bad temperament to boot. People will want to see Steve Davis playing instead and will claim that we should have signed Tom Ince.

Any old weasel in a suit could come in abd replace him so no worries. Abd Hypo can return to St Marys so every cloud and all that...

Exactly, our best way of having world class players in our team is via the academy and for them to actually stick around long enough for us to progress as a club.

And if such a bid does then fine, it changes the landscape. You're just using an example in which people are saying we should sell. If he doesn't want to go, then it's different.

What is IDE?

Sunderland will be inconsistant all season. Confident of a win here.

Agree with MLG, should be no worries about his england career being blocked because of Saints.

Except not one person has even indicated that 30M is an insult. The thread is about whether people would like to see Shaw sold for 30M. A lot don't.

A minimum expectation of a striker is to keep the CB's busy and move about. Osvaldo certainly isn't afforded the same view by many because of his price tag.

Yep

Apparently so we can buy a replacement and someone else. As if we can't sign players otherwise As a fan and not a club accountant or an economist, I'd rather we kept our best players.

Nick, again, saying that Lambert had a poor game or has been in poor form recently doesn't automatically mean that it's unfair criticism and has nothing to do with the fact that he is a great player for us. No one expects man of match performances from him all the time, he was just poor by his own standards yesterday, as he has been on many occassions this season.

Ox wanted to go, otherwise we wouldn't. I said earlier that only sell if we need the money or if he wants to go.

I think a lot of them would end up dissapointed. Touch of Hazard?!

The question is "should we" not "would we" sell him. If we didn't need the money, I'm yet to hear one compelling argument as to why we should definitely sell him at that price. Just because most clubs would, isn't a reason to do it.

That will be up to Luke ultimately. As I said, unless it enables us to do something we wouldn't be able to do without the money, I see no reason why we should accept a bid like that.

Why should we take it?

We should take it if Luke wants to go or if we need the money to buy players we want which we wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. Otherwise, what's the point?

Trim your nails pal.
