Just read that ManU want to spend 34 milion pounds ~ 42.5 milion euro on luke shaw , 18 years old defender of southampton

Seriously i have never seen him play and i can guarantee that he isn't worth 42 mil . Wtf 40 mil for an 18 years old defender who could have easily have had a good year and could turn to shit in a nanosecond . Good luck reselling him later . With 40 mil we could resolve all our squad problems , I feel so fucking poor :sad:

Luke Shaw seems pretty talented, for sure a decent player, only Baines is better at left back in PL at the moment (or am i forgetting someone?)... I do agree though, that 42 million is way to much, but hey - that's the EPL for you. Inflated prices because of the money from TV n stuff

Yeah, that's stupid money. Especially for a fullback.

this is not a big surprise (i expected around 35M €). English players are almost always overpaid and so is Shaw now. but lets not forget that LVG s their coach now, he knows how to coach young players, he could make something out of Shaw too...

He's not overpriced. They're buying from Bilbao.
25 year old, No caps, not playing for an Elite team. I think that is over-priced.

And Luke Shaw....wow. He will be the most expensive left bak in the history of football.

He looks a talent, but even if he reaches the top level, he wont ever be worth £34 million, he is a left back.

but thats their problem. LVG has 200M to spend, and if he wants to pay 1/4 of that for a LB then he may see something we dont. have you watched him? could he turn into another Bale scenario???

No, because he is a left back, a small one. He may well be a top left back, but still a LEFT BACK.

No better than Baines at defending yet, and not even half the player Baines is attacking.

Bale was always a wing back / left sided attacker.

Bilbao don't negotiate selling players. You either pay their release clause or GTFO.
