Schneiderlin signs for Man U - official

It's poses a major problem for us if, say, United comes for Morgan at the beginning of august, just before our Europa league qualifying match. We would have prepared our team with Morgan in it, an in case of selling would be forced to face our european opposition in a weakened state. It only make sense that we, at that moment, ask for a bigger compensation.

 

Guess Morgan could have told Toby that you need to count your fingers after shaking hands with Les Reed. The difference between the 2 is that I'm sure Saints have mentally (if not in actuality) sold Morgan.

 

Just reminded me....when they flew out last season, JRod was larking about and I thought you bastard, you're leaving. Well he didn't....belated apologies, Jay.

 

Mark Bosnich has told Talksport he believes the Schneiderlin deal to Man Utd is pretty much done. Not quite sure how he'd know mind you.

 

He had a dream about it after his last line of coke.

 

Seems like a fair price to me, if we want him (which I believe we do) then we should pay it.

 

That's more than fair - it's a bargain. If we were a bigger name he'd go for 40mill plus.

 

I know, that's why I don't think we should be messing around with this. Just get it done Woodward (unless Pigsticker is still on).

 

I know I shouldn't say this, but Bastian would only ever be a short term solution for you. He'll be 31 before the season starts, whereas with Schneiderlin you'd have a top CM for the next 7 or 8 years. As Tom says, £28 million is peanuts for Morgan.

 

Sky have just reported big bets taken on Morgan to Manure in last few hours. Odds have now gone to 1/10 which is usually an indicator that the deal is close.

 

Yeah, but I have a feeling he is Van Gaals preferred target.

 

Doesn't say much for LVG's brain power really, does it, but I expect you knew that already!

 

That is the problem of having an old manager on a short term contract, he will buy/promote some young players for the future but that is not his primary target. He has two years left and will want an immediate impact to try and win something. He brought Bastian into the Bayern first team and knows him well and what he can do.

 

he also counts as a homegrown player, you will not find a British midfielder half as good

 

Morgan is hardly an untried gamble. He's had the most tackles and interceptions over the last three years. He is what you and Arsenal need.

 

Jack Wilshire?



Wenger must think that anyway!!

 

I know, that's why he is on our wanted list. I just think LvG would take Bastian as first choice because he has worked with him before.

 

That is not such a big need for us, we have plenty of HG players at the club.

 

Are you really a United fan? I've read quite a few posts from you on here and they all seem sensible, non arrogant and logical
