Hi Ed, I know you a said that you didn't think we were interested in Sead Kolasinac of Shalke but I read today that he said he has an offer from us. Is he just angling for a better contract at Shalke?

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know - but it would of course be the end of any interest in Shaw if true.}

I really hope this Shaw deal is wrapped up soon, he could be our left back for the next 10 years at least.

Thanks ed! Didn't realise he was a LB, he looks a lot like a CB haha

{Ed002's Note - It seems unlikely to me.}

He wouldn't be brought in as number 1 so wouldn't effect the Shaw transfer according to media today, we have to wait and see.

I'm always a bit sceptical when a player/agent comes out and says another team has made an offer for them. Simply put why would they come out and say that? Maybe he was naive or too honest. Or maybe he was just looking to stir the water a little bit and see what presents itself.

On the other hand if we were interested I would be very happy to see him a red. He's a fine young player, reminds me a bit of Ivanovic, only a bit quicker - very intelligent movement and positioning. Obviously if I had to pick between him and Shaw I'd pick Shaw, but only really on the virtue he's English. This guy would probably cost half as much and we could easily make him as good if not better.
