It'll be interesting to see how he does against us today. If Pat's is indeed leaving then we'd best finalise this deal as soon as possible, I'd be annoyed to see this go on past the World Cup when, if he impressed in Brazil, his value would surely go up.
He probably wont even play in the world cup.
People know about Shaw. A World Cup wouldn't do much to his value, United already know what Southampton want for him. It's the lesser known players that have their price bumped up after World Cups.
Looking forward to seeing him next season. Seems a done deal.
No, I don't think anyone could say Rio was a bargain, but his price-tag was certainly vindicated as we got 10+ years of a world class defender.
I'm not saying Shaw will have the same impact, but he has the potential to. Even if he can't perform to Rio's level, he would still be a good buy if it means we have a solid left back for the next 10 years.
For me I don't give a toss what we pay for him, as long as we get him. After his first season with us no one will be talking about the fee.
On the contrary, mate, I think we'll constantly be hearing about his fee all season. Every mistake he makes or every time he's outplayed by the opposition teams LB we'll hear "you paid £30m for that!?" or "our LB cost a fraction of Shaw and played better!"
You never know. It could have a Fernando Torres effect on the kid where he's got massive pressure to live up to his ridiculous transfer fee. If he has anything less than a spectacular season with us there will be media and opposition harassment about the fee.
Oh absolutely, at the start his fee will be getting a lot of attention. I meant at the end of the season - I'm very confident in this kid, I don't think anyone will be complaining about the fee come the end of his first year with us.
Meh, same happened with De Gea. People were telling us we should've got Vorm instead.
Sign him. Sign him sign him sign him sign him.
Give him a year he'll be better than Coentrao
If we get him and Reus they can share hair care products.
Strange he got subbed on 78 mins?
For the applause and also not to take any chances with a young man on a yellow card. Always the chance he makes a mistake.
We'd do the same with Rafael at 23 let alone Shaw at 18
What does it mean? They'll only sell for £78 mill?
It was to get him a final cheer from the fans. Its a done deal.
He wasn't very nice to his teammate Januzaj today
Let him get showered, and then sign him up this afternoon. Bring him back up on the bus.
He's the business. This is nothing new to ones who have seen him all season.
How much would we pay for this kid? At his age, he is already a class player & a lot more potential.
30mil would be a lot of money but would it be worth it in the long run?
30mil would be a lot of money but would it be worth it in the long run?
He would be so perfect for us. Hopefully we can get a deal done before the WC.
Exactly.
That was nothing new. He's very good and would be worth every penny.
I hope we have already wrapped up a deal for him because you just know he will perform well in the WC and his price will skyrocket ala Rio Ferdinand.
I hope we announce a deal to sign him in the next couple of weeks, the guy is a super star in the making.
Nah, was for a send off and to run the bath for United lads.
Its impossible to tell, but its hard for a left back to prove to be worth £30 million. At the same time if he's quality for us for 9 or 10 seasons, then of course it was more than worth it. Getting into the champions league propers once would make the money back right?
He would be a quality addition. So much confidence on the ball and he showed his proficiency in the defending aspect of the game by keeping Januzaj quiet the majority of the game. We just need to adopt a good philosophy that takes advantage of the maurauding fullbacks to get the best of him at United.
Remember when Rooney completely took out Ronaldo in 03/04?
They'll be best mates this time next year.
Safe to say after the way he was substituted today, that was his last game in a Southampton shirt.....
He was very apologetic and got an arm round the shoulder and a few words from Rio to tell him not to do that in training next year.
Done deal, #ITK *taps nose*
Probably told him if he did it again he'd get his fecking head kicked in.
He's a dirty cnut isn't he. That tackle on Januzaj made me want to slap him.
Never ever say that, whenever anyone says that they go somewhere else.
Only tackle I can recall him getting wrong. He bossed Adnan other than that.
How does it seem like a done deal?
Genuinely one of the best performances I've seen against Januzaj all season.
He was as good as Januzaj was shite.
Full of pace and running. Something we sorely lacked in our team this season.
