    Shaw for Lukaku + £10m sounds fair

    The sale of Shaw is going to be a difficult decision for Liebherr in the summer.

    In one sense selling him could be perceived as a backward step by the club, but a perfect storm for a sale is brewing.

    All three of the richest clubs in England need a new left back and if a bidding war was to develop then that £30m tag is not unrealistic. It's possible it could go higher as i'm not seeing credible alternatives from around the world either.

    Is Shaw the Holy Grail?

    Well maybe we should tell Chelsea, they can have first refusal on Shaw only if we get Lukaku. If he doesn't come, then sell Shaw to Manchester... if we sell Shaw at all, but I can't really see it going beyond the summer.

    The only good reason for selling Shaw would be if we didn't think he was going to reach his potential. I can't see any reason that he won't, so keep him for a few more years, he'll be worth double what he is now.

    Or because we're offered Lukaku plus cash. That would be a very good reason.

    Only for the press. Surely for top clubs with money to burn, Luke is still a risk. Of course they might want him in their squads and they'd be thrilled if he came through their academies, but surely they'd want a proven LB for top money. Luke's experience is only with the team he grew up with and he has no European experience. I think he needs another year or two.

    I can't work out if people are genuinely suggesting this, or if it's Saints tinted glasses from everyone. Surely Lukaku is worth a lot more than Luke?

    You'd think so wouldn't you, but I reckon £20m would get him, no English player premium on him.

    Joe, what's your thinking on Lukaku, you were set against him when there were rumours in the summer, still thinking the same way?

    You are talking about Chelsea here, the same team that valued Matic at 7m then brought him bsck for 20m+

    I suppose one other factor is that Shaw is a vital part of the Southampton side, which increases his price, while Lukaku isn't in the first team of the club he's owned by and there seems to be a feeling they'd be prepared to sell.

    Still can't see it happening though.
