http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...enal-talk-Southampton-Luke-Shaw-transfer.html Nice little read in the Mail And a very similar one... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Wenger-praises-Southamptons-youth-set-up.html
Now my French is a little rusty, but I'm sure this translates to: "Thanks for the production line, keep them coming!"
I'm sure Wenger will have his beady eye on Shaw this evening. But will he prepared to meet NC's very high asking price?
Don't think NC has an asking price. It will be a straight no. Shaw and other academy players are part of Nicola's plans for the future. We were in League 1 when we let Oxo go...Nicola said he looked at him and knew his head had been turned. Now we are trying to stay in the PL...different scenario. Shaw has just said he wants to stay here and be part of keeping Saints up...so no sign his head has been turned.
I think we're always overly mean when someone mentions our academy. Let's just take the compliment and complain when he makes a formal bid .
In a few years Wenger will move Chamberlin from the wing to central mid and go "what a clever manager I am".
Totally agree with this. It's a huge compliment when a manager of Wengers pedigree compliments us on our Acadamy. And if he is interested in Shaw, who isn't?
