Arsenal in pole position to sign £5m-rated Southampton left-back Shaw
By JOE BERNSTEIN - PUBLISHED: 22:00, 29 December 2012 | UPDATED: 23:17, 29 December 2012

It’s advantage Arsenal in the chase for £5million left-back Luke Shaw, a Premier League regular for Southampton at 17. Arsene Wenger has signed Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from the club and will use that relationship to move for Shaw as Chelsea are also interested. Wenger is looking to add to his options at left-back with Brazilian flop Andre Santos nearing the exit door and Kieran Gibbs' niggling injury problems continuing to interrupt his progress.


whether or not the article above holds truth its been written very very well :rofll:

I've read that we are also interested in Baines, would be a better option considering how Gibbs played against Newcastle.. plus if we were to splash money, I'd rather spend it on the best LB in the league than on another kid..

Baines would cost 4 times what Shaw would cost...

Baines would kill Gibbs. Wenger wont do it. Our best bet is to get a younger raw talent in and get rid of Santos, the waste of space.

I'd rather spend on Baines, would push Gibbs to the bench and we'll have great depth with him and Jenks.

Gibbs AND Shaw at LB rotation? Too young and inexperienced IMO.

Would you rather spend £20-25m on a 28 years old Baines than on a quality winger/cam?

Let's not forget he's English + contract until 2015 + key player of Everton + wanted by clubs like Utd = easily £20m

I would go for Enrique, costs half the price of Baines and is very close to him in terms of quality and consistency imo.

Wenger praises Saints academy
1:31pm Monday 31st December 2012 in Saints News
http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints ... s_academy/

ARSENE Wenger has praised Saints for their ability to produce international standard players. Wenger is a long-time admirer of the Saints academy, and his signed two players from the club in the last seven years. Both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are expected to be involved when Arsenal roll up at St Mary’s for tomorrow evening’s Premier League contest. Walcott has played well over 200 games for Arsenal since arriving in January 2006 aged just 16 in a deal which was eventually worth £9.1m to Saints. Arsenal raided Saints again in the summer of 2011 when securing Oxlade-Chamberlain in a £12m deal. It has looked another sound investment, as the 19-year-old has developed quickly and since won full England honours, playing at Euro 2012. Wenger, who has been linked with a move for Saints’ teenage left back Luke Shaw, feels the club deserve praise for their player development. “They have done a fabulous job – you also look at Gareth Bale and what he is doing now at Tottenham,” he said. “It is down to the quality of their scouting, the quality of their coaching and education.”

Should buy him and loan him back out for the rest of the season back to Southampton so he has a bit more experience under his belt when he finally joins up. Don't really know why people would say no.

Probably because if we are going to use £5m in jan, let it be towards someone that will strengthen us immediately. Wouldn't mind if he was oven ready, but he's not, he still needs to be given time. If he is like Jenks, then f**k it, lets have some.
