Transfer discussion thread

[Art Vandelay_]

Apparently we are heavily scouting FM fave Carlos Soler from Valencia with a view to a January transfer. Should be relatively straightforward if Andy P is included in the deal.

Luke Shaw's United days are done and dusted. He'll be off with a replacement LB coming in January. No idea who at this stage. Would rather promote Lee O'Connor but that's just me.

Rose. I'd say he's at short odds to get turfed out next summer.
You don't cross this manager. He's a goner.

He got a pretty horrific injury, prior to that he was the best lb in the league.

He was never the best LB in the league IMO. Lots of potential and played maybe half a dozen good games for United.

Was at his best at Soton.

Agree with that. Showed a lot of promise there. I could still see him thriving at the right club.

That club needs to be in a fish and chip free area for him to thrive.

 

[jod23]

So much for Shaw being a 10-15 year player at United and being the best LB in the league.

Yeah that's weird. I thought that was a given. He's supposed to be a bargain because he is a 10 year player and the best LB in the galaxy.

He'll still be a very good player, just another thats fallen out with Mou I guess.

Nah, he had the exact same issues with LVG too. The press keep trying to put this on a Mou fall out to stir up a bit of drama but that's just clickbait, he has no one to blame but himself.

He has talent but issues with injury, confidence and (mostly) poor professionalism are really holding him back.

Mous a hard task master(rightly too), if a player doesn't fit his mold he's turfed and replaced. We saw it with guys Mata/Schurrle(wrong style), KDB(lack of professionism), Salah/Cuadrado(lack of confidence), Rom(wrong mentality) etc

It happens and it won't hold you back. You'll sell him and he'll go on to have a good career elsewhere and his replacement will fit the team better. Everyone wins.

Yeah, I'm well aware that Mou is a hard task master (& so was LVG) but in this case I think it is more a case of the player's standards being too low. Who knows, he's still young and has plenty of time to turn it around but I just don't think he has the drive or discipline needed to succeed at a big club.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Pochettino is harder on Shaw in his book than LVG or Mou were but thst doesn't fit the narrative.

 

[pantskyle]

Its also not like Mou hadn't given him a chance. So far Shaw is failing to rise to that challenge.

We can trigger another year on him and we should do so and then send him out on loan to another PL team.

Yeah, it won't happen in January, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Shaw and cash deal for Rose in the next Summer window.

Depends on how it's done though, doesn't it? The reports seem to suggest that Mourinho has been a right selfish campaigner when it comes to Shaw, rather than hard but fair.

 

[jod23]

You'd want Shaw? That would be a bit of a downgrade on Rose.

how has he been selfish?

 

[RossFC]

Why is there rumours about Rose? Does he want out because he doesn't want to play with people he has to google?

 

[Zidane98]

Remember Mou taking constant digs at Shaw in the press last season and hanging him out to dry. Not exactly a great confidence builder for him.

[go you pups]

Yeah, um, dunno....

It would be a romantic thing for him to come back home and finish the job that he didn't complete beforehand though.

 

[chef]

Would he take a pay cut to go back to Spurs?

Very much doubt it.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Rumours from good sources that Danny Rose for Lingard and Shaw will happen in January.

Wages would be an issue.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Just give us Shaw and a bit of cash, thanks all the same.

Dear Santa,

Please.

[jod23]

Bale would have to cut his wages in half to return to Spurs. Pretty doubtful.

Also since the day he signed, he has been rumoured to be coming back to England.
