    Shaw maybe, as a prospect, but not at the price United paid.
    Llallana we have far superior in our squad already so no.......and he was also overpriced.

    They'll need all they can get, with Gnasher sidelined until the end of October!

    Lallana is an excellent player IMO but is a huge risk at that money at 26. I'm not sure they'd have spent that much on a midfielder had they known Suarez would be out for four months.

    If you ignore Shaw's reported wages I think it will turn out to be a great buy. The kid, and he really is a kid, does seem to have it all and is quite experience already for a player of his age. I'm sure Chelsea were keen and he'd have preferred Chelsea being a fan but it's very understandable if the reported wages are correct.

    Shaw a talented player. But far too expensive, even if he turns out to be next Maldini

    Llallana: we already have Willian, hazard, Schurrle, Fabregas, Oscar, piazon, etc who can play in his position

    Hes a real mystery man, various reports have him coming and going at the same time. Just have to wait and see. Where do you stand?? Id like him to stay, hes a big strong sod, and we had success with that type before. All he needs is a good kick up the arse from Jose and we might have a gem.

    he's got something special imo, really quick for his height. seems to be a good all rounded striker but with costa coming in I don't think he'll be at the club much longer. it is a shame though as he's never been given a proper chance

    Neither are good enough for our starting line. I have not seen anyhting from Shaw to impress me more than even Bertrand and whereas I am a big fan of Lallana, not over Oscar or Hazard. Happy for other teams to over pay. <ok>

    Both players are prime examples of overrated and over priced English players. The main reason for so many average foriegn players in th PL.

    Shaw could be a very good prospect. Not sure why Liverpool need Lallana at his age & fee.


    I always thought with proper nurturing - he can go on and surpass Drog or atleast match Drog - given his age and our position.

    He looked to have a good head on his shoulders - not so long ago.
    Not sure from where the kid gets his petulance from - now.

    how can anyone like this kid's current attitude?

    Oh the irony <whistle>

    Couple of benefits in that they obviously speak English so make understanding instructions easier and are used to Premiership but the English tax has always added £5m-£10m to players. You also have to take into consideration that you're selling to a rival in most cases as nearly all English players transfer from 1 English club to another so they're always going to cost a bit more.

    Just have to think would foreign clubs pay the kind of money that Downing/Carroll/Lallana/SWP/Shaw/Young were all brought for?

    Well you have just paid £32m for Diego "outscored by Torres at the WC" Costa and similar to Cesc "not even wanted by Arsenal" Fabregas <whistle>

    Didn't Jose get the memo, it's all about the Germans & Belgians now, Spanish players were so 2008-2012 <whistle>
