Luke shaw

[Salford_Blue]

Would take any and all of Lovren, Shaw, Schneiderlin and Ward-Prowse (replacing Lescott, Garcia and Rodwell, and giving us an extra option at LB)... Also Calum Chambers at RB over Clyne. Wouldn't say no to Wanyama either...

Lallana is a fine player, but not one I think we have a significant need for.

I would've taken them 5 years ago, but not now. Wanyama had a shocking start to the season and looked like the move from SPL to PL was a step too far. Ward-Prowse looks a talent, but would Chelsea and Arsenal be in for any of them, the top European clubs too?
Not seen enough of Shaw to say either way, but from what people are saying, he is a prospect.

For their sake I hope they keep them all and find someone decent to buy the club.

[creatividad]

I haven't seen enough of Shaw to convince me he's right for us at this time. I think City are in a very unusual and privileged position (not that I'm complaining! haha) in that we can go straight in for mature players who are already at their best. There's no point buying Shaw and then sending him out on loan for a few seasons when he can just build his career at Saints instead.

As for Chelsea...It seems Chelsea like to have an English spine to the team, even if it's just three players. But of course you need the homegrown players in your squad. I have a feeling Shaw will opt for Chelsea if he does move, because they'll like the idea of having a future England regular who can serve for 10-15 years, giving them some stability, and an image for the club - which they can do some marketing around. Those opportunities don't come along often. City don't need to be too choosy about that sort of strategy when we can just buy in the best 'right now.' Also, CBs are more of a priority for us at the moment. Other people have said it. I'd go for Lovren instead.

 

[Plain Speaking]

There is always a premium for English players but defenders should be cheaper than attackers.

Would be grand, I have a genuine soft spot for Southampton, but there's a lot riding on a hope...

If there is a fire sale - Shaw, Lambert, Lallana, Lovren (one of the best CBs in the league so far this season), Clyne, Schneiderlin, Wanyama and Boruc could all get snapped up by pretty big clubs.

Why the hell are they imploding now? They're on the cusp of being a permanent fixture in the Premier League.

They spent too much recently, was never going to finish good for them.

They will go the way of Pompey

Why do you think that?

They are set up a lot better than many here seem to think, that's just not going to happen.

It's bound to happen isn't it? But I figured it would wait until the summer.

It'll be a fantastic signing for Chelsea though, Shaw who will be the best English left back for many many years.

Haven't seen too much of shaw but for that kind of money I rather buy Filipe Luis

Fair enough but Clichy out/Luis In means we lose one more homegrown slot

Those tweets seem contradictory

Maybe FFP will not allow us to spend £30m on Shaw this month if we plan to buy a central defender (or central midfielder, both are more pressing concerns). We spent around £84m (which could go up with addons for Navas and Negredo if we win stuff this season) in the summer and we just about on the right side of the fence with FFP as it stands I think.

PS: Why does the MEN have two people at our pressers, I thought it was standard to send one?

I always read during the summer that if we make the group stage we will have 50mill to spend in jan.

Having watched the answer to the Luke Shaw question I'd say we're definitely in for him. He's asked the question "can you confirm or deny any interest in him" - he then says "in which player?" when the reporter confirms it's Luke Shaw he's asking about Pellegrini's response is to pause and then say:

"no, no, no - i don't confirm about any name because we are not concerned about this in this moment we are concerned only with Cardiff not with the window transfer".

Boss, why did you need clarification on which player you were being asked about if you weren't going to confirm or deny any name :)

To be fair have you seen that Villa team? Lambert's being hiding behind the inexperience line but the reality is they've got a bang average team.
