If we sign Schneiderlin in addition to this, we would have gone in the space of 2 years to from having a dogshit midfield and being overloaded with top strikers, to having an extremely strong midfield but a very limited forward line. Benteke would be perfect as a 2nd option to Rooney in my opinion, with Wilson being 3rd choice.
 
I actually met him for a few seconds last August at the Allianz when Bayern were showcasing their team for the coming season. I was wearing a United top and pointed to it asking him "Do you want to sign for United?" and he just laughed, then signed my shirt. But that's when the first seeds were planted in his mind.

So you can thank me for this one lads... ;)

You really need to get over to a Barcelona match this pre-season and have a word with Messi :D.

Also looking at those stats it is weird Carrick is considered our best midfielder, he is worse than the other 3 compared on those stats.

I reckon that's purely a product of Carrick playing so much deeper than the other midfielders. Fellaini for example was effectively a forward for much of last season whereas Carrick was positioned just in front of our centre backs.
 
Schweini was injured during the start of the season.

I don't get the blame Bayern gets, to be honest. Schweinsteiger wanted to leave and I don't see anything wrong with Bayern granting him that wish. Rummenigge and Sammer both said that they wanted to keep him, but I guess some people only see what they want to see.


Where did I or anyone else blame Bayern. I think Bayern is treating Schweinsteiger with the respect he deserves and sees him as the legend he is. But Pep's treatment of Schweinsteiger hasn't been the way it should be in my opinion. So if anything I was blaming solely Pep in that post.
 


And the greatest winners interview ever.

Mueller: I don´t give a shit about the golden boot, I´m a world champion.

Schweini: He said you look very nice.

:lol::lol:


:lol: That's fantastic.

What a great transfer, big Ed is spoiling us.
 
I'm so fecking happy right now! If we sign Schneiderlin too then we will have an unreal midfield.
 
At this point I literally couldn't care less about where he'll fit in. I'm just so happy we've signed him.
 
I really think people are underestimating exactly how massive a signing this is for us.

Skills aside, this is a guy who can bring leadership, belief, direction and mentorship to our team. He can bring a sense of calm to a shakey back four, and slowly instill a sense of confidence within them.

He will bring balance to the force.
Don't forget passion and aggression. He's the type of Dymanic midfielder we have missed since Keano left.
 
Wow, just saw this and I am really excited, can't remember when is the last time some of our signing made me more happy. Great stuff.

fecking Bastian, who would have thought?
 
He's with Ana Ivanovic now. She's a nice replacement.

Nah, no comprison. Best WAG ever, you can't find any imprefection, and then you see how she carries the beers like they are trophies, and that she hasn't waited to have a few sips along the way...

Not sure how you can break up with that.

Yeah I want Schneiderlin as well. He's there for the club to buy, as no one else appears to be interested.
I also want to keep Van Persie, and buy a powerhouse center half. Then I can say we've had a superb transfer window.
 
Good, now I can cheer for him without feeling too bad :smirk:

Probably my favourite Bayern player of this generation. He had to endure a lot of shit in his career (not only injuries but also the media treatment he got at a time was pathetic), but rose above it and led his team/nation to a lot of success. At this point, still the most complete midfielder in my eyes.

Massive signing for United. Exactly what they need now.

Aye, same here. I think it was RvP, but that was more out of complete shock, while this is the one player that would have been top of my transfer targets for the last five years or so. Can't wait to see him playing for us.

That's a lovely looking beer ;)
 
Most important thing I see is that Schweinsteiger is great when he plays but he has played even fewer minutes than Carrick last season which is worrying.

Also looking at those stats it is weird Carrick is considered our best midfielder, he is worse than the other 3 compared on those stats.

Same again when you look at the defensive stats...
 
I reckon Schweini won't be signing the Gaucho song much with Adm, Rojo, and Otamendi around. :)
 
Great signing, though hard to believe it's real. He'll have to be managed correctly but should be key in a lot of games. Exactly what we need right now.
 
We've signed a winner who is also a leader. Can't ask for much more than that.

I think Schweini and Carrick will take turns partnering Schneiderlin. Seeing as both are in their 30s, LvG will want to go sparingly on both of them over a potential 60 fixture season.
 
I can't find a tweet but just want to know who first said that United representatives are in Munich working on a Bastian deal. It was i think yesterday in the morning hours well before Bild broke the story and the tweet was posted in transfer tweets thread.
 
He's obviously a brilliant player with great technical ability and what not but I think the best part for me is his intelligence.

If Van Gaal wants a team that plays tactical and intelligent football then Schweinsteiger and Carrick is a brilliant base to work from.
 
I hope Bastian Schweinsteiger doesn't ask to have his whole name printed on the back of the shirt. Imagine his name there... it could go a full circle. I'll be ripped before you know it...

Second, would Van Gaal consider giving him the vice captain role straight off, given his knowledge of the player and the amount of experience Mr. BS has over the years?
