The amount of control passes he provided whilst under pressure were just a joy to behold. Always available for passes and great vision. Almost feels like Scholes playing there. :drool:

Who was it that called him getting #23?

@RDCR07 posted this in the transfer thread:

@kolli from the newbs thinks this:
"I can't post to the Schweinsteiger thread, as I'm still a newbie, but thought I'd share my thoughts with people who are interested in his squad number

I'm pretty sure he'll take number 23 first reason being that he loves Basketball and I think every Basketball fan loves Michael jordan. The second reason is that he is a huge fan of David Beckham, who was famous for his number 23 in his Real Madrid and LA Galaxy days."

He really is a class act, didn't even look as if he was sharp and yet his passing and technique were clear to see. There was times that he was holding the ball like he was playing against kids and then just played it simple. Can't wait to see him in some bigger and harder matches.
 
I already miss him so much :(. I guess I have to watch more United games this season.

it's like coming home to find your more attractive brother balls deep in your wife and all you can do is look on and applaud every thrust.

No it's not. Nice try though.

What is/was the general consensus amongst Bayern fans and his departure?

Sad to see him go instead of Alonso, I would say. Both past their primes, but Schweinsteiger being a local hero. Schweinsteiger was at his best between 2009 and 2013, with a last hoorah at the 2014 WC. Since then, from a non-sentimental point of view, it made sense to let him go Because we need a rebuild and he isn't good or reliable enough to play the part of the mentor. Lahm is better suited to this and we are able to get a real top player for midfield.
 
@rimaldo :lol:

I don't think he's fitness levels are on the same levels as other players. He also seems to be carrying a few extra kilos.
 
Still can't get over the fact he's in our midfield. I think pre sunmer I would have been happy enough with just Schneiderlin but having watched them today.. An injury free Schweini is the best midfielder we could have got this summer, my doubts about his fitness have been dispelled and he looks imperious. Technically a level above any midfielder we have, key signing. . I think if we got Ramos he'd have a similar impact for the defence.
 
Pre-season numbers aren't official, right?
 
I think he was decent really, just look a bit slow but great handling of the ball and good vision. I think we won't see Carrick and him in many games playing together. Imagine Schneiderlin and Herrera sweeping around him, that's my starting midfield three, awesome energy and creativity in it..

No but I think he'll stay with the same number.

Yeah, that sounds about right. What were Darmian and Schneiderlin? Missed the game. I know Memphis was #9 but I doubt he'll keep that.
