    If it doesn't happen I'll know the reason why. As I said originally, I've never been one for attention-seeking or rumour mongering but I had a 100% reliable source about 4-5 weeks ago so thought I'd share with the board asap although I obviously understand people's irritation at not being able to reveal the source

    I'd be extremely careful about revealing sources were I you, unless you have their express permission to do so it tends not to be a terribly smart plan.

    Had no problem with your original post, though I made a note of it to give you stick or credit depending on what happened, but that last one is jumping the gun.

    Fair enough.

    For what it's worth I'd much rather have him stay and cop the stick!

    Obviously you never accept the first offer for a player, especially with a World Cup on its way and with us not needing to sell. But, £27m is a huge amount for a left back.

    What must Luke be thinking tonight. Reports he is in the England national team going to a world cup in Brazil and a bid from one of the biggest clubs in the world at the end of a brilliant season for him.

    That's slot to take in for an 18 year old.

    He's 18. He's probably just having a ****.

    Not when you factor in his age and how good he is now.

    Only two letters from being perfect for United then.

    Shaw is great, but considering he has had 1 assist all season and not scored a goal, £27m for a LB is incredible money, but so is most money in football. If you were to compare him to other English transfers, I guess we would want a little more.

    Possibly not, but offers will be made. Let's hope the owner holds firm...part with one, but can't part with two of our best.

    I think he's more likely to go than Adam, unless Lallana hustles hard for a move. We'll be able to get some kind of value on Shaw that if reinvested won't massively weaken the team. For what we'd get for Adam vs what we'd lose it's probably not worth our while selling.

    Andy Carroll went for £35, Shaw is worth at least that.

    If we accept £35 for Shaw, we can be certain that the board aren't up to much!
