View From The Top Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 Laughable price. We need a lot more. £27m for an 18yo left back is laughable? I'm sure you can find examples of other LBs going for that sort of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 Answering a question with a question clearly means that you can't find me an example. There has never been another left back that has gone for that amount. There has never been another left back as comfortable in his position at 18 as Luke Shaw. He is English as well and highly coveted. He will almost certainly perform brilliantly for them and will be worth probably double that amount in a couple of years. We are it he prem now too and have no need to sell. We should be demanding more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 £27m for an 18yo left back is laughable? I'm sure you can find examples of other LBs going for that sort of money. An 18 yo left back who doesn't count in the 25 man squad due to his age and would be a 'homegrown' asset on any team sheet in the future. THAT commands a lot of extra value.

doddisalegend Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 LOL - no, that is very naïve Fair enough I can just see the new manager asking the Man U board for some money to buy some new players he wants to build his new lookteam only to be told the club already spent the cash before he got the job.

Saint Charlie Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 Not sure he would love it up north on his own. Still think he might select to stay here one more season and then see what options he has.

Baird of the land Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 Maybe the World Cup can give a slight relief from the constant attempts to flog our players off by the media. Really don't want to sell shaw. Think another season of development with us would do him no harm and hopefully let us see if targett can start to come through.

JoeShmoe Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 You have to seriously consider that but given everyone knows ManU are desperate you'd push for 30m plus a sell on clause. Not sure where Targett is or even if Clyne do a job there next season but pretty sure you could get a decent LB for under 5m (Cresswell?) and reinvest the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 11 May, 2014 Share Posted 11 May, 2014 £30 maybe, £35 would be an outstanding amount of money and, dare I say it, good business. Deffo, £35 would be an amazing piece of business. Even if they gave us £35m, I'd still rather keep him Technically, we have a £30 million player at the moment- think of it this way, we could lose him. We could take Welbeck as part of the deal? That would interest me too, I genuinely think we could improve the guy with a run of games IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
