Sure thing a club aspiring to be top again to get rid of such an established and when in form top player in Shaw and get a cover in such an inexperienced player who played U23 football and a couple of championship games. Only to rely on left back in Malacia who himself is a very new to the league and team. This is not FIFA.
If Ten Hag sees Shaw as a backup fullback, with the fees Prem teams are paying and him probably wanting to be first choice with the England LB spot up for grabs, would you really be surprised if someone offers 25-30M for him like Villa did for Luca Digne? At that price, I'd think Ten Hag would be saying make the deal and let me have the money to spend on a LB if Alvaro doesn't win him over based on this season and next pre-season.
Shaw obviously has the talent, and if it was just the injuries then I'd say live with them, but he's already lost his spot and I think a departure might suit everyone. He gets to be first choice at Leeds or Newcastle or Leicester and we get a solid fee to spend on a replacement or use elsewhere.
We have a Dutch coach, I do expect a couple of the more talented youth to get real opportunities rather than us keeping all the big wage guys who Ten Hag doesn't rate around. I won't be surprised if Shaw and Maguire go next summer. Shaw will probably get into the World Cup squad even if he's a backup for us, but for a new cycle, I think Southgate or his replacement might move on to Tyrick Mitchell, James Justin or 3 at the back with Saka out left if Shaw is just a backup for us, and he might want to go.
