I don't doubt that we are interested in Shaw, but I somewhat doubt that he is interested in us.
reason we have serious interest in shaw this january is simple.. if we dont sign him then we have no chance in summer with chelsea and united sniffing around.
im sure chelsea with be chasing strikers this window so money might be seen better spent elsewhere but shaw is a must for us, ticks all the boxes. its just whether he wants to leave southampton or wait for chelsea to come in. who knows. only those close to him really know, rest is just guess work.
I would guess that Cole is off after this year or next. They are probably going to sign Rodriguez, unfortunately.
AVB likes to rotate, I'm sure Rose and a new LB would get time. That being said, I would like quality depth, and to purchase an upgrade on Rose. Shaw is one of those possible upgrades.I would be a little unhappy if we spent 20m on shaw when we have Danny rose. I think he looked quality before he got injured, had a great season on loan last year. We obviously need back up for left back. But if shaw came he would want to start, so rose would then want to leave, back to square 1 again. We should be looking at cheaper options and spending the money on a forward who can score from his own trickery.

Yes, and they have Bertrand and Van Aanholt, but that probably won't stop them from pursuing him.Have they been linked with him?

Agree, I would rather sign Rodriguez than Shaw. IMO Rodriguez is the better allround LB. He would be cheaper too.We should pretend to be trying to sign Shaw so that Chelsea step in and sign him, then we buy Rodriguez (or Sorg, or Alex Sandro, or etc). I'd be pretty confident that they would try to prevent us from signing him anyway if we showed interest.
I've only seen links in the Mirror, Metro, Express & Talksport. All have reputations as bullshit papers/websites. Is anywhere reliable reporting it?Yes, and they have Bertrand and Van Aanholt, but that probably won't stop them from pursuing him.
It's in a lot of German mediaI've only seen links in the Mirror, Metro, Express & Talksport. All have reputations as bullshit papers/websites. Is anywhere reliable reporting it?
Doesn't mean they aren't after him of corse.
Soo are you saying you would prefer Rodgers as manager over AVB because I wouldn't! Rodgers is soo 1 dimentional he doesn't have any plan B Plus hes a complete C*ck aswell!
