If I remember correctly, he was the bloke who broke the news on the final day of the season about a bid being made, very reliable judging by some of his other tweets.
 
Fair play to Woodward so far, eating humble pie right now.

That doesn't include this season.

I missed wilshere spending hisp whole second seasos injured due to the ankle injury. Take away that freak accident and him and shaw have the exact same league appearances after first two season. What makes one more injury prone 5han the other? For all you know shaw will break down in the future as well.
 
Yep, we've got ourselves a top notch medical facility we've opened a while back. It's more than likely we won't be using Bridgewater hospital again.
 
There's an obvious risk but we've had successes paying similar amounts for Rooney and Rio at a young age and then recouping the value over the course of 10+ years. We'd really need Shaw to develop into a top left-back and stay they from the age of 21 to 31/32 to justify the fee.
 
Wait. Is this happening today too? Is there actually a medical taking place? Are we sure?
 
Or buy him for 30 mill signs for 5 years then leaves on a free to join his boyhood idols!
Doesn't sound such a good deal then, does it.
For the fee United can do much better.

We wouldn't let him enter the last 2 years without an extension.

Also, it must be close, ie not sure how close he is to 19, but you still get a fee if they're under 24 and out of contract, so he wouldn't go for free anyway...
 
Shaw and Herrera are 2 fantastic signings, young, hungry and can be developed into truly top players long term. Just the sort of players we've always signed throughout the Ferguson era.
 
What a day this could be!

Despite the large fee, I like the look of him and am glad we're willing to pay big to secure him. Hopefully he'll develop into a world-class LB.
 
Next up: Sanchez and Hummels.

Four in a day Ed, you can do it.
