    Apparently... There are a few rumours going around twitter that Southampton have bid £5 Million for Enriques of Liverpool!

    Correct. Comes from the Liverpool Echo, who IIRC, are quite close to LFC.

    He'd be a be a good signing but, unless Shaw is leaving, I can't see how we'd get him.

    Although it would be bad news for Shaw, £5m would be a bargain, he's possibly the best left-back in the league (when Baines is having an off-day of course!). Always the issue of wages though...

    He's played at left wing/mid a few times for Liverpool this season. Maybe we're looking at more defensive minded wingers?

    Surely signing a left back would mean we are anticipating losing Shaw?

    Or pushing Shaw into midfield. He can't be any worse then Lallana was this season.

    I remember Alan Nixon mentioning a 3-5-2 formation. Obviously it's all idle gossip and rumour, but Enrique could play as the wing-back in that.

    That doesn't really answer the question of where would Shaw fits in though. Unless you see him as a centre-half?

    I think he probably would be worse to be honest. Passing is probably the weakest area of his game.

    Couldn't be worse than Lallana...in midfield...please tell me you are having a laugh. Shaw's defensive play is top notch, but going forwards he is lacking at the moment.

    I didn't see anyone actually ask the question of where Shaw would fit in. I was making reference to the comments of TTSF re: Enrique.

    Exactly my point :p, I don't think the rumour is true anyway.

    Fair enough, your comment appeared among others that were discussing that.

    Enrique would probably fit thelcb position more than Luke if that was being suggested, would give like that licence to get forward more...still doesn't for the mould and still not sure he is that good!

    Shaw and Enrique could both rotate, it's not as if Shaw is fit for every game, far from it.
