Eds do you think 27 mil for shaw is abit much. I do to say he's only 18. Think he's going to be a really good player but there asking for too much.

{Ed002's Note - I really don't want to discuss money.}

If you think of the investment in terms of the number of years he could potentially be our 1st choice left back, I think the value is pretty reasonable.

Jonny659 - I think it's a bargain to be honest! He could be our LB for the next 10 plus years and with so much potential his price will only rise in coming seasons if we don't make a move now. I'm liking the urgency from United, no messing around this window, I hope it's a trend we see all summer. And we are going to have to pay a bit over the odds etc. seeing as we can't give players Champions League football

I think its excessive for a fullback considering what they've sold other players for but given 12-15 years potential service then it balances out.

I think it's a great price. Shaw could realistically be first choice LB for next 13/14 seasons. So £2m a year for a lad barring injury who could become real class. Great price for all parties and he'll get say 80-100k pw. That's most likely quadrupling his wages. Win Win.

I reckon he'll stay as a left back for a while, but his future lies as a left sided midfielder, once he bulks up a little he could emulate gareth bale and play practically anywhere. It's a good start to the summer though, let's hope we get everything sorted before the world cup starts. I'd imagine the players who are coming in are being made aware of the new manager too, the absolute disgrace of a window last summer, will be forgotten by an awesome, exciting and reassuring window this year, can't wait.
