Me too been to Southampton a few times since living down here and he's a great prospectRandomJ said:I really like this guy as a player so I'll be gutted when he signs for the rags because the moment someone pulls on a rag shirt they become a complete and utter ****.

He was close to signing for Chelsea last season but was talked around by Southampton to sign a five year deal when he turned 18.
Don't let that fool you though, it was done just to protect an asset and to maximise his fee, i'm confident he'll be at either Chelsea or Arsenal at the start of next season.
I stated a while ago that this kid would be a future England left back before he entered the scene and it's looking like he's going to fulfill that role, I'd even go as far as saying he should make the squad for Brazil (if we qualify) and drop Cole.
REALLY??
Like to know where you got that from....just not true.
What part of the post do you think is not true?
Pardon my ignorance but wasn't that post from Danamy from before this season?Bpughh said:Danamy said:southamptonblue said:REALLY??

well for starters, there's probably somewhere around 0.0% chance he goes to arsenal -- where they already have the young and talented gibbsy... and then there's maybe 0.01% chance he ends up at chelsea -- might be a fan, but while mourinho's in charge, no chance.

Before he started to post Shaw to United months in advance?..

I prefer Kolarov and Clichy too.ifiwasarichfan said:El Mago said:Lets stick with Kolarov and Clichy.
I really think Shaw is a massive talent but nothing wrong with the two Left Backs we have already. We can't buy everybody.

They think they could turn him into the new Bale no doubt. Keep him at left back for a few seasons as he learns his trade then move him forward into a more attacking role.
Then they are morons because he's nothing like Bale. He'll never be a high level winger. He's not a great attacking player. Just because Bale started at LB at Southampton doesn't mean every LB they produce is going to score 20-30 PL goals a year. But seeing as how they thought Moyes would be the next Fergie because they are both Scottish they may actually think that way.
Would be a great addition to the club since we need a LB and him being homegrown would really help us going forward. But not for 30m. Danny Alves went for 29 and as good a player Shaw could be he's not worth that kind of money.
Then sell him to Real Madrid for 80-100 million.........

Chelsea are understood to have made a late check on the state of play with Luke Shaw's proposed transfer to Manchester United.
The England international had turned down Manchester City's attentions and has privately long indicated his desire to join United with a £27million deal outlined.
However, the lack of an official announcement prompted a recent Chelsea enquiry

Everyone turns City down, oh apart from the mercenaries we actually sign
Roma’s Kevin Strootman, who was key in Van Gaal’s Holland teams, will be added, although probably not until January, as his cruciate knee ligament injury means he will not be able to prove his fitness before then.
