He doesn't trust youth players. He'll always choose a player who has demonstrated the ability to play at a high level over a youth player who might, heaven forbid, need time to bed in. Probably because he has limited interest in sustained success.
Screw the u21s, I'd happily come on once a week and give the ball away a few times for only 5k a week.
So can we therefore assume you saying Shaw will be the best left back in the league next year is also a joke?
Luke Shaw will be the next Stephen Warnock. And you can quote me on that (only you, not anyone else).
Why would I be a United hater? Of course he's better than Stephen Warnock now but how about after ten years of Burger King lunches and the dreaded Matth vote of confidence?
Shaw is obviously going to be quality. Hes better than most left backs at the same age and has experience that some dont get until their mid 20s. Hes had a shaky start due to injuries and fitness but when hes played, more often than not hes done well.
