Would be naive to think Van Gaal hasn't been consulted. Why wouldn't they ask his view?

FFP is just a joke. Makes no sense. I agree investors should have to leave some capital behind as a guarantee to stop the Portsmouth situation, but to hold back the likes of CIty and PSG is madness.LoveCity said:Eds said:If Shaw goes to the rags I would percieve that as a backward step. At Southampton he is in a young side with a young manager that plays good football. Goes to the rags he is in ageing squad playing shit football with shit players...
Ready to spend a fortune though, Shaw is the first of 5 or 6. And the lunatic Van Gaal will get more out of a few players like Mata and Van Persie.
FFP in effect here, Southampton selling to United (and Lallana to Liverpool) after building a tidy team that could have gone places. If Cortese was still around, though, it might be different.

Wow, Southampton showing some steel if true.

Well if the opening bid is £27mil, and it's fairly well known that manure will have a pretty substantial transfer kitty, Southampton can probably push up the price to the mid 30's.
