Le Saux urges Saints to fight off interest in Shaw
8:00am Thursday 21st March 2013 in Sport
By Simon Walter, Senior Sports Reporter
LUKE SHAW
GRAEME Le Saux has urged Saints to keep Luke Shaw longer than they did Gareth Bale.
Bale was a virtual unknown in the Saints Academy when Le Saux arrived for a two-year spell with the club almost a decade ago.
He made his debut within a year of Le Saux’s retirement before signing for Spurs after just one full season in the first team.
Spurs have also been linked with Shaw in recent weeks, while Arsenal’s interest has been well documented.
Shaw is the same age Bale was during his season as the club’s first-choice left-back – and is expected to sign a five-year deal when he turns 18 in July.
Le Saux hopes he stays for the duration.
The former England left-back said: “Gareth was being mentioned as a promising player when I was at Southampton and it’s been great to see him fulfil his potential over the years.
“Southampton should be very proud of their involvement in the development of players like him, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
“But if I was manager of Southampton I would want to convince the club to keep players like Luke for a few more years.”
Le Saux saw Shaw live up to his burgeoning reputation during the 3-1 win against Liverpool at St Mary’s on Saturday, before pulling out of tonight’s England Under-21 friendly against Romania.
He continued: “I’ve been very impressed, he’s obviously fit and confident and very fast up the flank. He’s often marauding forward and getting a good cross in.
“Full-backs who get forward and create chances like Luke and Nathaniel Clyne are absolutely vital, especially with teams tending to play much more narrowly these days.
“Luke’s had a wonderful first season and generated a lot of interest and speculation which can only be positive.
“He can become a wonderful player and, realistically, Southampton can’t hold players back and stop them from fulfilling their potential.
“But there’s a balance and it would be good to see them keep hold of their young players for longer than they have done in the past, which will help establish them in the Premier League again and attract more players.
“Southampton can’t compete with the biggest clubs but they’ve created a fantastic environment in which to nurture players.
“It’s a really happy place for young players and that counts for a lot.”

Got to keep quality player like Shaw on board if we are to do that.
Let's get away from the idea that we are a selling club and build a really good strong team of top quality talent - the more that comes from our own academy the better.
However, let's get this season out of the way first.

WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON.
With the FIGHT to push up the Premier League and simmering in the background the Europa League (va Fair Play) - Luke will develop and improve his football with SOUTHAMPTON.
THE FOCUS IS ON THE CHELSEA AT HOME GAME AND THEN READING AWAY.
BY STRENGHTH AND GUILE.
WE FIGHT AND WIN.
We all know the score at Reading.
TRAIN (Woolston Number 1) - PUB (near Station) and STADIUM.
Whoever is Manager of Reading at the time (and they have to manage on limited resources - so no-one really wants the job) - WE WILL GIVE THEM A BLOODY NOSE !!
RED ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMY.
RF/RED ARMY 2013
NUMBER ONE IN THE SOUTH.

This is the litmus test for me on whether Saints really are going to challenge for the top half of the table or not.

However, let's get this season out of the way first.
Staying in this league is our core objective this season. The poor early start is behind us but has left a legacy that we are now having to deal with.
But what a team we have now!!
Next season should see us much higher in the table, but its dependent on keeping a high quality core squad and Shaw must become part of that.
Talk of loyalty is always good to hear but money talks very loudly. I suppose we will have to match such offers or lose out when contracts are up... but not before !
One thing is for sure - we don't have to sell these days - and that means that if you are under contract and considered a key player, Cortese will not let you go. The so called big clubs, the agents and the players are going to have to get used to that.

Anyway I think that the players and their agents need to start asking as 'terms of contract' whether the club showing interest is actually solvent!
Regardless of how much a player is being offered just how secure is it, particularly under new financial fairplay rules..
Youngsters need to be encouraged that they need to know that they and their families future is safe....
..that would start to get them thinking that perhaps the grass is not greener on the other side.

It will be the player and his agent that will force the move not the club. International caps and trophys will decide where they place not a sense of loyalty or a vision (Apart from MLT)
This is why, next season, we must take the cups 100% seriously as well.

We all want him to stay, okay pay him huge wages and get us into Europe and then there is a chance. As things stand we haven't yet secured our place in the EPL for next year.
I like NC and think he is a good chairman but we know he is ruthless, and you shouldn't expect the players that work for him and their agents to be any less ruthless.
Tottenham are now finding it difficult to hold onto Bale and Liverpool to Suarez so we are not the olny club with this problem.
The day he signs that new 5 year contract this summer can't come soon enough for me.

The trouble with many of you is that you havent moved on from the days at the Dell, small minds, small club, no ambition other than staying in the top flight, you need to wake up change your mentality before the club begins to suffer. All clubs respond to the ambtions of their fans and too many of you have their heads buried in the sand and just have no real understanding of what is going on at Southampton. Do you think that a man like Cortese would stay another five minutes unless there was ambition to take us to the top table? For christ sakes wake up people ,stop behaving like parochials, sorry but I find it irritating that three years on people still have not bought into the clubs obvious ambition and are light years behind mentally and still thinking of Saints as a small club.Sorry but I find it frustrating!!!!!No offence intended though..COYS

It's multi sided though, if we want to keep these players we have to make them want to stay not just try and force them to stay. That means competing in the wage market and on the football pitch.
This is the fourth season in which we have moved forward from the previous season - whilst that improvement and ambition continues why go somewhere else? If we reach a level and stagnate there, if seasons become just more of the same, then expect players and the manager to move on to further their careers. I'm sure Cortese sees this and will keep pushing forward, he doesn't strike me as someone who settles for second best.

I expect its a press release and a simple cut n paste. How many articles do we read where phrases like 'pictured below' feature yet there are no pictures below. The journos simply don't have the time to edit stuff.

If Shaw is that good which i think he is, then he has got to be worth what £15 million. With that kind money we could keep him for another year at the club as part of the deal and get in another two prem quality left backs as cover along with a prem quality right back cover for Clyne for the money. Now that would be a reasonable good deal

think its difficult the boys a chelsea fan i kinow he wont go to liverpool forget that one .wages ia issue for example walcott chamberlain moved on double wages .and we cant do a pompey and break are wage structure.so you want loyalty but if they want more money they will go a bit like arsenal players going to man city which without there rich owners i supect they would still be arsenal; players .i mean theos on 100.000 a week alex 70.000 a week .being realistic we cant match clubs in the c league wage wise .spurs may lose bale if they dont get in that this season
i dont want to lose luke but i dont want us to increase arev wage bill to keep players here.we know what happens and qpr not long from now will pay a heavey price already reported 90 million in debt after 6 weeks wages remi samba not the way to go .were southampton not portsmouth

I take it Le Saux hasn't been reading or keeping track of anything Saints do lately...

WE FIGHT AND WIN.
We all know the score at Reading.
TRAIN (Woolston Number 1) - PUB (near Station) and STADIUM.

RF/RED ARMY 2013
NUMBER ONE IN THE SOUTH.
