Wasn't talking only about Shaw here, I'm just generally sick of teenagers today posting pictures of themselves online, making weird poses and faces, showing how much they work out. It's as if they don't have enough selfworth, so they have to have people on the internet congratulate them on how beautiful or fit they are. Always seems to me like their parents didn't give them enough love. If I'm worng about him, then sorry, but this is just pissing me off in general.
Two years I think.
Obviously this sort of thing wasn't happening much as recently as a decade ago. Its a manifestation of the rise of social media.
Tarnish with the same brush hey? They're teenagers, that's what they do and its how all teenagers of any generation behave, the only difference is teenagers of past generations didn't have twitter!

Was clear he would stay....
Well, I suppose you didn't go around with a half naked photo of yourself, asking your friends what they think about it, back when you were younger, did you? That's pretty much the equivalent of what kids are doing these days.
No Tom just go, go now!

Hope we loan him out if we can't get rid permanently, which is obviously the preferred option.
The CNN guy?
That's him.

Such a tit. He's not joining a team made of money - he's joining a team that is more suited to his level. Why put a move in doubt with seeking unrealistic demands?

I hope we do end up selling him. Anderson, Cleverley, Fletcher and Carrick are all out of contract next summer and I don't really want us to lose any of them on a free.

Are you serious? You'd be angry at him for wanting to stay and fight for his place at his boyhood club that he's been at for years? Not to mention the fact that he'd be going to a bottom half team from one of the biggest clubs in the world. If it's true that he's on around £35k a week, asking for double for a move that he isn't convinced about isn't exactly absurd. Some players will be criticised and lambasted for anything they do, just because people don't rate them.
Welbeck on loan is the only loan that makes sense.
Says a lot about what motivates Thomas.. still not happy we've loaned Javier out, loaning Danny out with no replacement would leave us with two strikers who aren't in great form and an unproven young lad.

Because we should have sold him right?
'Rent Welbeck for a year'... Sounds like we're pimping him out
Yes.
Fighting for his place? Once Herrera and Blind are available he won't be getting near the starting XI. By accepting an offer for him the club have made it clear he isn't part of the managers plans. He is a very average player so it's not like he has any chance of overtaking the likes of Di Maria, Herrera or Blind for a midfield role. There was talk before the bid was accepted that he was tempted to run down his contract and leave on a free next summer (bigger signing on fee). If he does end up staying he clearly prioritises money over his footballing development.
