Luke Shaw

He's been a sicknote ever since that big injury against PSV under Van Gaal. That's a fck of a long time. Shame really, as he's a great LB and could've been a contender.

We need to move on, but it won't be this season. We're stuck in limbo for the next 7 months.

Shaw likely wouldn't even be a LWB under Amorim. He doesn't have the attacking verve and cuteness needed for that role.

He'd be much more suited as the LCB as he's faster than Martinez and better at defending in the wider areas.

In any case, we need to move on from players like this. It's ridiculous how many players we've had on the books who can't stay fit: Martial, Jones, Bailly, Shaw, Mount... I'm sure I'm missing one or two more.

If INEOS have any huevos they'd terminate his contract now. He is crooked and not worth the stress. Reach some kind of mutual agreement with him and end this nightmare for the player and the club already.

Shaw presumably likes playing football when he's fit. And likes being paid a massive wage. So what motivation would he have to cancel a lucrative contract to play football? And what leverage does the club have?

Depends who offers him a contract. He might take a pay cut if the Toon offer him one. Newcastle has more Greggs per capita than anyone else in the UK.

They might feel that he's pasty's best though.

Shown himself to be a very good left back when he's fit. Think United need a new first choice LB and use him as back up when he's around until his contract is up because nobody with any sense would pay good money for him.

Malacia is even more of a sicknote and a lower standard of player, given his age he might be shiftable though so he's got to go.

The market for LB isn't very good though. Kerkez at Bournemouth or Fran Garcia at Real, look like the best achievable options.

Antony to be our new Valencia!

Acknowledged.

I always miss Shaw's post-match interviews after every hammering in which he's barely broken sweat, as he looks really downcast and tells the world he's unhappy that "the performance was not acceptable" and that "we the players really need to look at ourselves and work harder".

The white Darren Anderton.

I’ve got to disagree with some of the above. He’s a good player when he plays.

Smart in defence, fast and I think his link up in attack is very good.

It is a shame that my concerns about him becoming the Second Coming of Wayne Bridge have come to pass.

Decent player but needs to be put out to pasture now.
