There's two ways to look at it though. Rooney cost about that at a similar age, but being a striker he got more fame with goals. If Shaw continues to progress like this it'll be a shrewd signing. But also a huge gamble.

Two problems. He is English and it is United sniffing around. That adds about £10m on to the real value.

3 problems - no Gill so you're getting pants pulled down.
Gill wouldnt have paid more than £29m for AH, he'd have been straight back on the plane if they did that across him

Huge money for what he is now but hopefully in the long run he will be worth it. Noise surrounding us and Vidal again.. I'll keep on wishing

Shaw fee is stupid but having watched him a few times he looks a quality player with enormous potential - add to the fact he's 18 and English and that's the price you pay.
Could look silly or could look like a masterstroke when he's one of the best full backs in the World in a few years.

Expensive for 3 years in the League Cup. Could end up looking silly if he doesn't fit right in.

Don't expect Lovren or Schneiderlin to be there by the end of the window either TBH.

Lovren is a fantastic CB, and young too! But Southampton are making a hell of a profit
I highly doubt Shaw will sit on the bench for long. He'll have Ever mentoring him and if he progresses at the same rate, he'll be first choice before long.

So basically he is going to become a complete lying cunt.

Mate, the man you're on about has just been banned for four months due to eating a third player.

Seems Origi (the better Belgian forward at this WC) is on his way to Liverpool, but being loaned back to Lille. Suarez news might change the loan option, surely

The last high value left back from Southampton's Academy became the most expensive footballer in history.
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he's a converted left winger within a year.
