It's a big gamble but if they think the kid has the ability then he could be the solution there for 10 years easy at his age. If it works out and it is a big if then it's a good bit of business.
They made a similar move for Ferdinand a long while ago, although admittedly Ferdinand had proven much more and his quality was rather obvious, but the principle of paying a big fee for a player who can solve a problem for a long period of time was the same.
United's £27m move for Shaw more or less done according to the Mirror.
Liverpool going after Lallana and Caulker
Southampton's youth policy is incredible, the talented players they keep churning out is impressive.
Shaw will probably end up being a snip at 27 million when you look back on it, that's what often happens with these prodigies.
I really rate him, best creative English player thats come through for a while IMO. But ultimately not better than Cazorla and Ozil so not worth the English premium Liverpool will no doubt have to pay. I also want to see the Ox and Gabry get more game time next year.
We should be using our money on getting 3 1st team players, right back, holding mid and a striker. We'll probably need a few squaddies as well but have a feeling Wenger will promote from within.
Man Utd and Liverpool are not adhering to the "waiting period"! :angry:
Lets be fair we all know what Wengers attitude towards the transfer window is that of a man stuck on a train with a full bladder but doesn't want to use the train loo because there is a wasp in there.
So he holds on with a full bladder until he gets to the station...the station signifying the closing of the window.
Mesut Ozil can be looked upon as he couldn't hold on any longer so he went into an empty plastic bottle.
