I still don't know why Schneiderlin is only rated as 25 million and not, say, 30.
I'm surprised no clubs are trying to get Loftus-Cheek on loan, or even permanently, Really tall and light on his feet. Good on the ball. They loaned Courtois out for a few years, so I assume they would be happy to let Loftus-Cheek go out on loan for a while to help him develop.
Perhaps they watched the U21 games.
He only played 44 minutes in the tournament. One assist, 96% passing completion. He looked a different class altogether to Chalobah, Forster-Caskey and Carroll. He played an hour against Liverpool in the league and didn't give the ball away once in any manner. Southgate is a muppet for not starting him every game.

Apologies, I think I confused him with Chalobah then.

That certainly explains your reply, as Chalobah looks like a championship level player at best at the moment. Loftus-Cheek is taller, much more of a presence, light on his feet, much better on the ball..better at everything in comparison basically
He only has two years left on his contract. For example, Lallana had an inflated fee as he signed a five year contract a year before leaving. But maybe you value Schneiderlin at 30 million regardless of that.
Must madden Les Reed and his team. If we get in great players Ron gets all the kudos; if we fail, he and the board get all the blame.![]()

We've been linked with Vlaar.Just a thought, we seem to be linked with quite a few midfielders but no centre backs?
If the rumour of Toby signing for Spurs is true I am surprised we have not really been linked with any centre backs.

I assume you meant Belgium.You may have hit the nail on the head..."rumour"
I am convincing myself that the lack of CB links is is for the very reason that Toby is staying and we are just getting timing right. He went away with The Netherlands and then got married, so maybe we'll announce it when he returns.
Let's hope so.
