aintforever Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Nice try Martel but I expect when Luke was smiling he was thinking of how he would be spending the 60K a week he would get at Utd, the Champions League football and which super-models he will be dogging as a result.

saint_ed Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Well Saints fans I have just met with Luke Shaw at Rownhams services with a under 21 player Jamal, I have written the conversation below as it was said. Me. Luke is that you. Luke Hi Me. Luke how do you cope with all the media speculation. Luke. I just ignore it all. Me No doubt you are getting good advice, however, just listen to an old fart like me for once. Luke Laughs Me. Man City have just won the premiership, think though, did they win it or buy it. Luke. They bought it. Me Exactly, so who had the greater achievement, Saints finishing 8th with a young squad some of which out of our academy or City? Luke. Good point.(Obviously recognized what I said made sense.) Me. Listen I am not asking you what your intentions are, that is your business and personal and you have to do what you and your advisers think best. Luke. Nod of approval and thanked. Me. In addition Luke, think about the Saints players that have left because they thought the grass would be greener, Beats and Bridge as two examples, both of the careers took a dive after that and do you want to be a bench warmer? Luke. That is true. Me. No doubt you drive a nice car and you can probably park it wherever you like, you won't be able to do that in Manchester, you will be buying wheels every other week. Luke. Laughs. Me. Please think long and hard about what Southampton are trying to achieve before you make a call, you can play a huge part in that, or you can be a small fish in a big pond. Luke. That's true. Me. If you were my son I would tell you to stay at Saints a bit longer, lets face it you are only eighteen, if you stayed till you were 25 you could probably demand even bigger bucks. ( Me thinking that must sound like an eternity to a 18 year old) Luke. Just smiled. Me. (They needed to get away) Just to say Luke, many congratulations on making it into the world cup squad, and what ever you decide all the very best, just stay with Saints. Luke smiled. Me. Finally, no doubt you watch football pundits say on T.V., just do one thing for me, Ignore Robbie Savage. Luke. Why Me. Because the guy is a Pratt and should be ignored. Luke. Laughs again. Said our goodbyes, could I have changed his mind, I doubt that very much, all I did was make the most of an opportunity to get my five eggs in, only time will tell. Sounds like he couldn't wait to get away from you! Nice try though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Patrón Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 NO, it was jovial, had you been there you would have seen that it was just that. I'm sure it'll be jovial with the other 20 or so people who say the same stuff to him every day. It's common courtesy to leave them alone, as without sounding rude they probably don't want to talk to a load of complete strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 If Diego Costa is worth £35m then Lallana has to be worth at least £40m and Shaw probably £50M. You are talking about the future England captain and a player most agree has the potential to develop into the best left back English football has ever seen. The sums being bandied about for Lallana and Shaw are currently an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em00jie Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Why would an intern of SFC be looking at houses in Manchester for Shaw, surely their work should be for the benefit of SFC not United? In any case I'm sure I read in Fergie's book that United (and every club for that matter) have a whole group of people employed to helping new signings settle in, accommodation included.

Frank's cousin Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 I refuse to believe we would be dumb enough to sell him before the World Cup. Sadly I think we just might be... And we will go from 3 players in the England Team to one, despite Luke and Adam not having played for their new clubs... Real shame.. Not least their value increasing.. Our board will deny stupidity by claiming it gives us more time to find the right replacements... And then sign nobody before the World Cup. I am so desperate to be wrong, laughed at and will be more than happy to have the **** taken out of me as some bed wetting paranoid arse if so.... come on KL and Krueger, show us that you know about this business and how to really do what is best for SFC.
