Morgan Schneiderlin

[spursfan77]

We won't be getting Schneiderlin, simple. United or scum. How often do we beat them to signings?

He's overpriced anyway. Too expensive for us.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

As much as he probably would like to reunite with Poch, 150k a week is not something he's going to turn down.

 

[shelfboy68]

Im suprised this thread is still going on ä player we have zero chance of getting cant we lock it and talk about more realistic targets.

@Sweech I see you have disagreed with everyone who has said they cant see us getting him which of course is your opinion, but how on earth are we going to be in the market for a player who we should have offered £20 million for in the summer but who is now getting even better and will be worth 30 or more this year.
Seeing as our chairman wont go over 13-15 million for him at what stage you see different out of interest.

Rumors of him going to Arsenal in an [agreed] deal of 25m. Being reported by a couple outlets on Twitter.

While I, like many others here, feel like its just twitter rumor, this is a worry. He would make them a very difficult team to beat out for a top four spot.

Hardly suprising but we missed Our chance in the summer so we have to look elsewhere.

Totally agree. It's not going to happen now.

Honestly not as bothered about us not signing him as I am them signing him, as I think he'd be a much better fit for them (even despite the fact we have Poch).

Just felt it was a lack of ambition again on our part especially as i would have thought levy would Back poch but there you go silly me.

Yeah, but I don't think it was entirely Levy's fault. I think Saints genuinely were not going to sell him after letting so many go, and we just got screwed because we got to the yard sale too late.

Thats what i meant we waited to long for Liverpool to pick their pockets that was a poor decision.

Fair enough, although I don't blame Poch for not buying a midfielder before his WC players had even made it back to training.

Exactly. No idea who could think otherwise.

I know liberal amounts of salt must be applied, but did we not have ITK not too long ago (Maybe in December?) which stated that Poch was indeed interested in Schneiderlin, but even he felt the price was too much for the player?

Wasn't that Lovren?

I dont doubt poch was interested as he was integeral part of the way he wants to shape up.
Its more the fact i felt we were far too slow allowing other clubs to raid them first so By the Time we got going up went the price.
Im not ä fan of levys leave it late grab ä bargain policy which leaves us with players like stambouli etc.

Didn't the itk's state it was the Arsenal purchase that was the straw on the cammels back, with the board starting to feel the pressure from the fans?

To be honest i dont know mate.

 

[dovahkiin]

with the itk thread closed im posting here
ghostofarmo on ftl:
I'm told
Shneiderlin and rodriguez will be spurs players next year..
not breaking news I know but thought we may have lost out..
Anyone rate Jay?

 

[dovahkiin]

ghostofarmo followed up when suggested ms would go to scum:
Yeah id have thought scum..
Told nope..us

 

[y1dk1d]

If this was true I'd be delighted, over the moon. MS is pretty much the perfect player for our system and more importantly a CDM that can defend! Something we really need! Jay is someone I'd still like- for the right price. 15 league goals from the wing for the 13-14 Southampton team was some achievement. Offers a different dimension and capable of a few positions. I just feel that MS can go to most, if not then any team in the BPL. United need a DM with Carrick aging, Arsenal, Liverpool and maybe even City with Yaya's form will probably be interested and if that's the case then I doubt he'd choose us. I wouldn't even blame him for staying put. I think Rodriguez will stay at Southampton over the summer but they might sell in Jan, depending how they feel about his fitness and quality. I just think we missed the boat last summer and I don't see either happening unfortunately
