We should sign into his contract that he has to wear a bandage around his head in every game

I really really love him, still can't believe it.
this man cost us less than what the dippers paid for Mario Balotelli
He comes across so well and passionate about United in his interviews. Can't wait to see him pull on the jersey. Exceptional player who can hopefully show his best with us.
Just watched his interview with MUTV. What a guy. I wouldn't mind if he was made captain to be honest.
Really impressed by the way he came across in that interview. Could easily turn out to be the best signing of the summer.
Agreed, he says the right things.
I'm sure some nutter was ready to explode to the world that "Schweini only joined for LvG" but here he mentions the club as a whole.

...and just for the fun of it.
Yep, It sounds like he understands what the club is about and buys into it.
"Krauts"
Lets just hope he does better injury wise. Somehow i doubt it but hopefully atleast 25-30 league games.
Again, doesn't overly matter. Just imagine he plays the games that Carrick was injured for last season. Even if they both get injured at the same time, we have Schneiderlin.
Still can't believe it. This one will take a while to sink in.
Exactly. If he starts ~33 games, he can feature in most of our CL matches and more than half of our PL ones. Similar for Carrick. They won't both be needed all the time, vs every opponent and that's a good thing for any club that expects to rotate a bigger squad.
Don't just read the statistics, @Blackwidow has explained Schweinsteiger had an old injury problem with painkillers to guarantee playing at the WC. After that he got it fixed and a long rest combined a nasty tackle and an illness. He also doesn't believe Schweinsteiger would risk a transfer if he wasn't fully fit. He should have the same chance of getting injured like everyone else.
We're fecked then
No evidence to support this, but it would be illogical to leave a trophy-winning CL contending machine to go anywhere else but Madrid or Barcelona if you knew you were only likely to be able to play 25-30 games a year. Presumably you'd want to maximize the importance of those games.
I figured it was more for LVG than he suggests it was, but after that interview my guess is that he's just kind of old-school in thinking and we're not really a circus of a team like Madrid and to a guy who's been around CL football for over a decade, we're just a bigger, more serious club than Arsenal, Citeh or Chelsea.
Sort of like the reverse of the Shaw interview where he said the 2010 WC was the first one he watched or when some young players says Neymar was his childhood hero.
In Keane's first bio he talks about going to Juventus or Bayern and you get the sense he thought those were the only other serious clubs where the culture, players and tradition were comparable or superior to what he had.
And we've been interested for a while and Barcelona (who have everything else I said) weren't, and Serie A has dropped a level.
So we got him for close to £10M?
Still can't believe he signed, and for such a cheap fee. I am slightly worried (for once). Mainly his age and recent trouble with injury. However, I'm sure he'll still be good for us.
So we got him for close to £10M?
The Germans (Bild and Honigstein) say so.

Don't worry, the English press will change it to 30 million quid sooner or later.
I kind of feel bad for my Mrs. When my mate was over watching the WC last summer, every time the comentator said Bazza's name we had to shout SCHWEINSTEIGER!! in a 'German' accent. The Mrs actually said she was glad the WC was over because of that.
I said to her before, guess who we just signed today? ... SCHWEINSTEIGER!
Not happy

In that interview he sounds pretty confident that he's fit and will remain so. I don't know the specifics of the last year, but it sounds like he said he had a bad injury that put him out of action until October and has been fine since then
What makes Honigstein reliable?
Nothing. Bild is reliable in this case.
He looks very calm, articulate, charming, nice, friendly, genuine and classy... What more could you ask of
Forgot about that, I am sure by the time the mail have finished they'll have added his air fair and the price of what he had to eat on the way over to jack up the total.
I have a strong feeling he will fit in perfectly. He said, "one last dream in my career comes true" - heart warming and genuine. He and Giggsy have a lot in common too. He will help the team lift trophy next season.
Can't see this anywhere on this page so....

The best thing I like about that interview is he doesn't say "Manchester United are the biggest club in the world". He keeps it real by saying they're a really good club and they have history.
Seems like a no nonsense guy which I love. Also, does anyone think his injury record will improve if don't play him week in and week out? We have Schneiderlin, Carrick, Herrera, Blind, Fellaini and Mata so really he wont have to be playing EVERY game. Used a bit lightly it could be the best signing of the season.

Watch the basketball video above... - that is the other side of him...
He is just one of the lads... If you are a lad that has grown up at Bayern - the history of a club is important for you. And he is not the guy that comes from a small club to a big club - but from a club that has its own big self confidence...

nice interview. his english is very good too. and now i realize germans do speak excellent english (i.e michael schumacher)
He did say he had a hard World Cup (of course he led his team reach the holy grail). It's not surprising where those injuries came from that required so long to recover. Really can't wait to see him on the pitch.
I don't think I have ever seen the caf this happy and I have only been here 3-4 years.It's way too much positivity for a united fan to handle. Sign Ramos and we might have to shut down the site just for a cooling off period.
This is very true. His move from a club with rich history and success is almost seamless as he will adapt easily. He will treasure his time here for sure and hopefully for a very long time.Watch the basketball video above... - that is the other side of him...

available for about 60% which is not that bad.
as for last season he had a tough and tiring world cup but still managed to make more league appearances than most of our midfielders.
plus with the options that we've got now..if we sign bastian alone then i would be a bit worried (about his recent injuries), but now with morgan as well, to add to carrick, herrera, blind, fellaini, pereira
