If the media are right on this one, I think it is one of the most sensible pieces of business we could do this summer.
He gives us that balance we are lacking and although he is primarily box to box, he's the closest and most realistic replacement for Carrick we could get. He reminds me a little bit of Matic in his playing style and that signing was a masterstroke for Chelsea, we may reap similar rewards from this transfer.
On a seperate note, I'm glad that we have left Nathaniel Clyne alone. By all means he isn't a bad player, but therein lies the problem, I don't think he is miles better than Valencia. Its common knowledge that quality attainable right backs are in short supply so I hope the scouts and LvG have a suitable candidate in mind.
I would be inclined to say that the majority of the board would be in favour of Schneiderlin being signed?
Really hope that this is the start of a sensible and well thought out recruitment process.
Sensible Schneiderlin.

How have you done that you nugget ?
How was the CL final? Bet the atmosphere was insane. Shame about the result though. I had a tenner on Juve on penalties.

Yeah CL final was awesome, apart from the result, although seeing Messi in the flesh was amazing, without him Barca would have struggled, he's just that good, for about 10-15 minutes after we equalised we had control of the game and should have had a pen, but the better team won overall, but Juve did themselves proud with the performance, nobody really gave them a prayer, but we had the chances to take the lead and could have won it

Oh and did me back months ago at football, and basically got told I've just got to suffer with it and manage it as best I can, some days it's good, some days bad, some days agony

Each to their own Robb.
I'd rather us wait for a better right back to target, but I'll leave that suggestion to someone who is better enlightened than I.
I find it hard to imagine anyone being dead set against getting Schneiderlin, he's been consistent for a good number of years now.

Yeah. He's been great for Saints and performed well against us a number of times. He counts as a home grown player and knows the PL well. And won't be too much money. If we miss out on him i'd be very annoyed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The kind of mentality that landed us with Valencia, Jones, Fellaini and Young. Who cares about PL experience? It's rate you see the best players sign from within the PL.
Lallana, Shaw, Lambert, Lovren have all left Southampton and none have been that good, as well as being replaced easily. I'm not saying MS wil be the same as all of these, but I think the way they play maybe makes olayers look good?

Never had a back injury praise de lawwddd, but my mam slipped a disc once and was pretty much bed ridden for months.
Glad you enjoyed the final- as you say, I thought Juve gave a good account of themselves. I really like the look of Morata, think hes developing into a tidy CF.
