Signing a 5 year contract at a club like Southampton is crazy, with all due respect. Shaw is a talented left back and should never be playing for them for a huge FIVE years! Another one to cross off the list... Kolarov anyone?
he's only 18 not 28
4 or 5 seasons of 1st team EPL footy at Sunderland is the best possible thing he could do to develop as a better player and further his career
horrific injuries aside he's got a good 15 seasons left at the top atleast
