This is the type of transfer we should be looking at. Especially when dealing with a club in (I suppose) financial trouble.
Sergio Reguilón

To be honest, I'm surprised Leicester didn't target him to replace Chilwell. He fits in more with their type of transfer rather than ours.
Chelsea signing Havertz from Leverkusen, means
Leverkusen can sign Schick from Roma, which allows
Roma to sign Smalling from MUFC, which allows
MUFC to sign Reguilón from Madrid.
It's all connected, money makes the world go 'round.

Shaw is only 25, while AWB is even younger. Understudy is not an app term. Backup? 30m is an expensive backup, imho. I think it's more likely a replacement.
Agent David is on the case. He posted a picture with this dude on his Insta Story.

It’s a fundamental signing

Shaw sold if you get this guy? Maybe moved into a back three?
You don't want a backup left back on £195k a week surely.

I bet anything, right now, that Shaw will keep his place over this lad.
No chance would Shaw be sold. Competition for places. That’s what Ole was brought up on under SAF.
We're not in for this chap, we've got Shaw and Williams already. Just Real using our name to drum up interest in him
I read a good article on The Athletic that basically showed Shaw as being the better defensive player of the two but Reguilon offering more offensively. As a Chelsea fan will know, squad depth is absolutely key these days and having options at left full back would enable us to have a horses for courses approach. The unknown for me is what happens with Williams in such a scenario, especially since he is highly rated, and my assumption is that he goes to providing back up and competition for AWB.

Could happen, but he’d have to be pretty underwhelming to get stuck behind Shaw.
Not really, we seen how much we miss Shaw linking with Rashford as soon as the former was injured last season.
Shaw is much better than many give him credit for, he overlaps and gets forward, links well and brings the best out of Rashford whilst still being good defensively.
I haven’t seen enough of Reguilon but what I saw when we played them was a tired United side carve chance after chance against that Sevilla defence. Just seems to me we are getting excited over a player that probably won’t play over Shaw. Maybe Ole will prove me wrong.
Luke Shaw has only started 20+ PL matches twice in the six seasons he has been here.
Shaw will keep his place and be rotated heavily. I wouldn't exactly call him injury prone (as in, repeated injuries), but his recovery time is so slow whenever he's out. Accumulated fatigue could play a large part of it, but we definitely shouldn't risk relying on him when he could be a rolled ankle away from a three month absence. We really struggled without him at the end of the season.
I would take a chance on Sessegnon. I think there is still a good attacking full back in him. Mourinho does not want him. We could go for a loan with an option to buy
Agree, as per my last post here. I think this is why we are interested, rotation and cover for Shaw.
I’m not sure, with the other possible suitors, that he would settle for that role. We’ll see.
If I were him I’d look at Shaw ahead of me and think that you will struggle to nail down the starting LB spot. And I think he would struggle to.
I had forgotten he even exists. Would be an interesting shout and perhaps Ole would get the best out of him. Get him signed!
He's never even shown he can play fullback, and doesn't look good enough to play as an attacker either.
He was good as a youngster due to his physical abilities but he hasn't developed.
We missed Shaw certainly, but that was because we only had 19 year old with no experience replacing him. Shaw tries to get forward, but I looked at his stats the other day and they’re frankly woeful. 7 assists and 1 goal in 8 seasons in the league. Even midtable full backs like Seamus Coleman, Erik Pieters and Patrick Van Aanholt have better stats, despite playing for worse teams. Players like Azpilicuetta and Bellerin are miles ahead, never mind Liverpool and City’s full backs.
I feel like we’ve had Shaw for so long that we’ve forgotten what its like to actually have a real attacking full back and we’ve got used to his very limited attacking contribution. Not saying Reguilon is the answer, but whoever comes in isn’t trying to overcome a high performer.
You only need to look at the impact Shaw’s absence had on Rashford’s form to see that stats are not the be all and end all.
Albeit on a different level, we use to have the same debates about Evra’s end product, but by and large he was a phenomenal outlet down the left flank.
If AWB went forward like Shaw does, with the same technical ability, we’d be grand.
How is that working out for you? Not sure you are getting many Europeans transfering money to your account first time you send them the info Prince Emal?
Sorry that's damning information to say the least. Wow
No doubt for me we need a LB but like CB, we have a graveyard of players that we hoped would come good. We need proven quality rather that the lottery of buying players that might prove to be good in what I believe to be an absolute key position.....
Lewis for 13.5 million is a great deal.
There's our left footed CB. All sorted.
Romano has been in this bracket for a while, and Ornstein is still regarded as extremely credible.
It's only Di Marzio who seems to have dropped a notch.
It’s a bit more than that but yes, Liverpool missed out on a good LB
He's been offered to us according to Romano.
really hope this one has some truth to it, would be a really smart addition.
and who would buy our back up left wanting 195k...
Shaw has a poor final ball hence why he gets very few goals and assists. He also could be a lot better at actually attacking the space out wide (although he does go through periods where he does it very well, one of which was right before he got the last injury). What Shaw is very good at though is helping build our play out from the back and helping our midfield control the game. It'd be fairly easy to bring in somebody who is better at the first two aspects, but hopefully we can find one who also provides that last attribute.
As I said, the fact that Shaw’s replacement was a recent youth team grad with no previous starts means that argument isn’t really that meaningful.
Do we really think Shaw is on 200k? Is that from similar outlet that said Sanchez was on 600k+? The mirror or something. seems unlikely
Shaw aint on 200k a week, no chance.
Most of the online listings have more like £150k
If we really have been offered him we must seal the deal.
Not overly expensive and we can cross the bridge of him wanting to return to Spain after we've won a few titles

I've seen him play once, and he handled Greenwood (not easy) whilst also tearing AWB apart. Was that an abnormally good game for him? Or is he just really good?
I'd get him purely because he's surely better than Williams and Luke Shaw can't stay fit to save his life.

How much would the buyback clause be though?
There's definitely legs in this one. Get him and rotate him and Shaw on the left full back position. At times we can also test Shaw out at a left center back.
