The Chelsea / Shaw link seemed exclusively to come from the fact that he is a Chelsea fan (allegedly anyway). Yes, Cole left, but the link seemed solely to come from his alleged support of the club.

Shaw never struck me as a player Mourinho would ever want. He tends to opt more for players in their peak who can instantly perform at the top level without too much nurturing.
They have Oliver Torres and Saul Niguez coming back from loan, Javier Manquillo another talented youngster, already bought some potentially good striker and will most likely find replacements in other areas as well. Koke will probably stay and they should have some money to reinvest, which they already did reinvest in Filipe Luis' replacement -Siqueira. They'll cope.
We could just get Cashley and save some cash to invest in the midfield, which is a bigger hole at this time. Not saying Shaw wouldn't be a great investment but 30 mil for a left back is a steep price to pay unless you get Irwin level service from him.
Atletico have already signed
Guilherme Siqueira as a natural replacement.

I think he might be better than Luis too.
Looked good for Benfica the few times I saw him when he was there on loan.
Daily Star reckon we're back in for Herrera apparently.

I hope we bloody well are!!
So we've been linked with every player in existence, so now the papers have gone round full circle?!Daily Star reckon we're back in for Herrera apparently.
Any links to any articles?Daily Star reckon we're back in for Herrera apparently.
Old Bernd retired didn't he?
That's a bold statement.
Just saw it in a tweet, no idea if it's on their website or not. (probably not worth checking either).

Apparently destroying his season once wasn't good enough for Woodie Blue Balls.
Di Marzio has an excellent record. If he says it's done, it means that it is.

They are running out off players. Waiting for a Wesley snijder goal in World Cup - headlines " United renew their interest in Dutch man"Daily Star reckon we're back in for Herrera apparently.
He had a very good season, which is why we should be in for him again and don't feck it up this time round.
Yeah but we have Evra, who's is.
It makes too much sense. A brilliantly technically gifted player with great passing who is also very defensively sound and can play a number of midfield positions. He would be available at a somewhat decent fee (£27-35m) and is used to playing under Bielsa philosophy - almost a strand of the stuff van Gaal advocates - and the only other team in for him (Barcelona) have gone for Rakitic. But nah, we don't want that.
You mean Sneijder? Or are you referring to Schneiderlin?
But that does not mean Shaw is off.
Blind is naturally a left back though, as well as Evra and possibly Vermaelen.
What is he claiming to be done?
Yes i have seen that today.

Filipe Luis to Chelsea.
Filipe Luis is an excellent player but surely 25 million for a soon to be 29 year old fullback is a bit too much.
Not if you're Chelsea
I'd quite like Sneijder if we signed someone like Vidal. Sneijder along with what we currently have would be a rotten bit of business.
It's great that media doesn't seem to have a clue about who our targets are.
Doing it like we did under Fergie is always better and the surprises it brings, remember that summer when we signed Nani and Anderson?

And Hargreaves and Tevez. Awesome Summer.
Under Moyes I suspect we'd be hearing a lot more about our targets but it seems like LVG has stopped the leaks coming out of the club.
We'll see what happens once he gets back. The deals we're working on are probably still in early stages so the club is keeping quiet.
Which is why I'm not convinced that even targets we've sought to deny interest in are necessarily off the table.
It's believed that it was Woodward actually who briefed media last season.
Yes, but LVG can tell him to stop doing it, that was Mel's point I believe.
Completely forgot about those, what a summer that was.
Tevez one was a painfully long-running saga. The way he left was a real shame though, could have been a great player with us for years.
