But he's young and English...he must be good,right?

there is a thing called inflation for starters.

just get behind the player Ffs and stop moaning about the price.

Fee is rumoured to be £27 m with add ons

posted on 27/6/14

It is silly money but let's stop moaning and look at the positives.

He's already an established player with 2 full seasons in the PL at 18. He has the potential to be one of the best full backs in the world for the next decade, I honestly believe that. He's solid at the back but also happy to move further forward, he really will help stabilitise our defence.

Not every transfer is going to be perfect, put it this way, I'd rather spend an extra £10m odd on Shaw than spending £10m all together on a player like Zaha.

Marcelo aged 19 moved to Madrid for £5m in 2007. Has your house increased in value by almost 6 fold?

First bid of 27m plus add ons was rejected. Most papers reporting new fee to be between 31.5-33m plus add ons.

Marcelo cant defend now either

we just bought him ffs, How can you tell Luke Shaw is not good enough for that record.

It doesnt matter, we are not living in Laudrups, bagios times. We are living in a time where Luiz is worth 40m. some 16 year old will break that record soon.

It was rejected because Bilbao were allowed to reject it. United had to then pay via Herrera himelf because of Spanish laws

United don't need to pay more than the buyout

It doesn't matter what times we live in. The record fee will obviously rise but the type of player they're buying for it shouldn't.

On Shaw, I think the fee is too much personally but that doesn't mean I don't think this kid has huge potential.

I just hope United fans are patient with him.

Barcelona didnt want Fabregas, southampton didnt want to lose Shaw... see the difference??

I can understand people thinking we have paid too much or that there are one or two better options out there. I can't understand the fact that a number of fans appear incensed / in despair about the transfer. No one disputes we need to address the Evra succession ASAP. We have signed a young, already experienced left back who was elected to the team of the season. Perhaps we paid too much. Perhaps it's a risk. But it's not the end of the world as we know it. People are behaving as though Moyes has been given a contract extension. I dread to imagine the anguish they will feel if he turns out world class.

I don't get all this negativity. if the club and LVG didn't think he was worth the investment, he wouldn't be signed. Nobody on this board had a good thing to say about Evra last season, yet now that we address the issue with the best young full back in England, people just moan. Get over it, we could be doing worse. Just think back to last summer if you need any proof of that.

i doubt it

i get the opinion people would rather see him fail just so they could say "see, i told you so".

Shaw is £27m which could rise to 31m with add ons
