At first I wondered if he really is that good, or if we've just become so accustomed to the likes of Cleverley and Anderson that a cabbage in midfield would look tasty. But nope, I'm wrong. Schweinsteiger actually is that good.
 
A joy to watch. Want to watch the match again in hi def with orgasmic Arabic commentator (no stoic Norwegians) a glass of something nice and me feet up.

My Danish isn't great but there were a couple of moments they were laughing at how good he was under pressure, and the second time they followed it up with "Ice Man, Mr Cool" which I thought summed things up pretty nicely.
 
A buzzkill because I have legitimate concerns about a players recent injury record? Combined with our record of dealing with injury prone players? And the fact that the PL is an incredibly physically draining league? Its quite clearly not for 'no apparent reason' its actually with very good reason. Because as a player, I think Bastian is fantastic (obviously). I'm not doubting his quality.

Or should I just jump on the 'OMG WE SIGNED SCHEWINSTIGER! WHO CARES ABOUT HIS INJURY RECORD!' band wagon, because well, thats what everyone else is doing?

So...is it fair to say you were being a buzzkill for no apparent reason now? :angel:
 
God was he good yesterday. Even started to dribble his way past players and made a few very good runs with the ball. I'm in love with him.

:lol: who the feck moans about signing Bastian fecking Schweinsteiger? On the same day we also sign Morgan Schneiderlin.

I mean, seriously, what sort of human does this?
 
We finally have a player again that's among one of the best in the world in his position!
 
Watching him play reminds me of Scholes, but tbf there is no-one like him. my all time favourite player, imagine and Scholes in the same side :drool:.

We already went through that period with Blind.
 
Can't believe how good he is. I mean, you knew he was world class but it's not until you watch a player week in week out that you realise just how good he is. And he's one of the best.

We're gonna benefit so much over the next few years. Is it even out of the question that he could get some kind of coaching role at the club? Maybe even AM to Giggs.... :wenger:
 
Seems to be getting better with every game. Still can't get my head round how good he actually is, or that he actually plays for us!
 
He's a Rolls Royce of a player, simple as that. He did well yesterday, but you'd expect that given the opposition. In my opinion, he's our best midfielder. He's such a smart and commanding player. A true leader. He does everything well, and will do anything required to win. I expect him to improve as he continues to adapt to a new league and country. I pray he stays healthy this season, as he'll be a key if we're going to challenge for trophies. What a great role model for the younger players at the club. His influence will likely be felt beyond the term of his contract.
 
Heard he had a great turn in our own box taking out 2 players. Any videoa/gifs for that?
 
He's really getting up to speed now, his engine still seems be to there and there's no reason we can't get another 2 quality seasons out of him. £6mil, what a bargain!
 
It was like watching mozart himself conducting his own Orchestra to symphony 40 in G minor. feck sake he's unbelievably good. I loved that he was playing the Lone DM aswel.

Couldn't agree more. Even though it was just Ipswich, that is how you boss a midfield in every way possible. His command of the position and his subtle movements on and off the ball are incredible.

I also love how when we're in possession and he doesn't have the ball he's constantly pointing to where we should move the ball. He's always thinking ahead of where the ball needs to go and anticipates what should happen - the mark of a true world class player. We're laughing with him in our team, still can't believe we have him. Like I said yesterday, it's like watching a German version of Scholes. Such a delight.
 
Actually - it is spelled wrong...

Deutscher Fußballmeister

The "u" is long and not short. That is why it is "ß" and not "ss".

But how could you know!!!

Sackable offence, tbh.

But love the pic. Such an honour to have him playing for us.
 
I just love watching him in United shirt, something i never imagined i would see. He is doing great, much better then i thought he will, especially his fitness and stamina has impressed me. He is just the kind of player who can help other teammates to perform just a little better then they would without him on the pitch and can control the game from midfield with his passing and leadership.

I just hope he can stay fit because i think he will be/is one of the most important players in our squad.
 
As great as he is going and as much as I want to see him play, I would be tempted to rest him against Sunderland.
