It's not my story nor do I claim to have broken it, but I have consistently told you about our targets and how realistic they are. This is the first confirmation you need that I'm not some WUM.
IMO well
It's done mate.
Luke Shaw | Deal done! Almost...

No one ever claimed otherwise?
That one person IS everybody
To be honest the stats I was referring to I'd seen at a glance. Now looking into it, I guess what I'd seen is a little skewed because Evra has the extra CL games, but regardless his are better:
Evra - 3 goals and 5 assists in all competitions.
Shaw - 1 assist (I thought I'd seen it was 2, but seems to be 1 wherever I look)
I stumbled across this as well:
Baines will play the majority
No worries dev!
Love how we are already getting down to business 
As if Liverpool could afford him and outbid us
And Bayern have a world class one in Alaba and Real have 2 top LB's already. I'm declaring this one in the bag.
Liverpool fans reckon they are signing Moreno, worried he could be a much better deal.
I dislike this "don't care" what players cost, or talking about high transfer fees as if it's buttons.
at least it stops the goons from last summer saying we should smash in with a high offer in the first place.

Southampton must look forward to this summer, they're going to be absolutely pillaged.
The dude in the back makes this gif.
I struggle to believe that they can get more money then that elsewhere. Maybe there will be more add ons but that's all. Mind I rate Shaw highly. However 27m for an 19 year old left back is great money.
I feel that this deal is done and dusted. We just made the final approach.
I first read that as 'Baines will pay the majority' I know we are in debt but....
£27mil is hard money to turn down.
He wont go to Liverpool. he signed a five year deal a few months back.
True but they could net almost £60m for Shaw and Lallana, that's an awful lot of money. Add their summers transfer kitty and they could have 80-90m to spend that fecking mad for a club like Southampton.
Southampton did report losses of like 30 million didn't they?
Reckon they would gladly sell us Shaw tbh.

Leave for 30 odd minutes and there's about 8 new pages.
It's going to be one of those threads ain't it?

And you know this how? Far from done in my opinion, the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool are in need of a left back as well and Shaw is supposed to be a big Chelsea fan which won't really help us either. Southampton might refuse to sell or Shaw might simply not be interested in moving to another club this season, this is ignoring the fact we do not have Champions League football this season.. It is possible we get him but certainly far from done, let's hope Woody and Moyes prepared this one well.

Luke Shaw is a done deal.(it pretty much has been for a while).
He was the target we were most likely signing so the muppetry is not as high for me on this one.
My reaction: Good who is next?

Pochettino's the one they need to hang on to
Why is that? These things are decided by people who know much more about finances at the club, they are also aware who wants Shaw and what they are ready to offer. We can only speculate.
I doubt it'll be a straight up £27m, it'll more likely be 22/23m with add ons.
Will Chelsea break our heart?
Yeah, it's certainly hard to see what's in it for a Southampton player moving to Manchester United.
I grew up with someone who is best mates with a new member of the first team.
Southampton and MUFC twitter accounts have just followed each other. Negotiating transfers through DMs.

Nope.
United would not let this leak if they weren't sure about it. They won't allow any embarrassments like last summer.
Will Chelsea break our heart?
Highly unlikely. They're after Filipe Luis.
However Saints have nothing to lose and all to gain by leaking this sort of information
I was wondering that myself. Couldn't for the life of me see why Walcott and Bale moved........where did it all go wrong eh?
I've noticed that teams often do that when they're playing each other. Could be nothing more than that.Southampton and MUFC twitter accounts have just followed each other.
A lot more money. We had one poor season we are not Sunderland all of a sudden. Even for a young lad like Shaw it would not be that hard to remember the last time United won the title.
We'll see if the Telegraph tells us which side was responsible for leaking this.
Will Chelsea break our heart?
Nah, I really don't think so.
Good signing for you lot, he'll do really well.
