Why we signed him I'll never know, he's just another declining big name he's nowhere near the quality he used to be and hes done nothing for us either
There's a reason Bayern let him go to a rival (we were at the time) for peanuts
he is a leader and it is not to be underestimated how important he is for this current set of players. Yes, he may not be able to do a full 90 anymore but he can still boss the midfield and is just one of those names you look on the team sheet and other teams will fear. I want to see him adapt his game and just sit infront of the defence a la carrick and just pull the strings for united with good passing and positional play. Still could be a great signing for us. We need him back fit and playing.
I did not mean it to have a go at you, just feel a bit tired with the whole stuff, and as @Classical Mechanic already noted, he had some time off from LvG.It wasn't really meant as a big criticism. I just think it's a bit odd that he's away on vacation midweek. I'm the last person who would question Schweinsteiger's professionalism ffs. I do think it's unusual for injured players to fly around the world though. Didn't know it was such a big deal to point that out.
In your opinion. For the amount he's paid, I want to see him at our games cheering us on. Not Ana Ivanovic's.Yes, there is a reason. He has been in the club since he was 14 and had one year contract left. And Bayern has other options.
He was at Müller-Wohlfahrt end of January and the German media said he is out until end of February then. So it does not really matter if he spends that time in Manchester or elsewhere.
There is, he wanted to go and Bayern allowed him because he is their legend and they have respect for him. He was also in his last year of contract. We bought van Persie for peanuts too and he was at his best form of life and played for fecking Arsenal.
His contribution is quite underrated. It is not a coincidence, that the record with him in the team is way better.
When truly great players legs go it's a tragedy.
What it does show is how great a player they actually are, though, some can manage to change their game to adapt to their lack of pace. Schweinsteiger doesn't seem to be good enough to adapt his game, I've lost count of the times he's over dwelled on the ball this season.
Get the ball and recycle play straight away, no messing about. Keane, Scholes and Xavi are perfect examples of players who's legs went yet they still dictated play. If he can't adapt his game he's no use to us, he's no longer the all action midfielder he once was.
This. It certainly does not help him that we have a front line that is largely static.I've lost count of time he has looked up and nobody is making a run in front of him.
I bet he'd have a good Euros for Germany.
He'd be really useful on the pitch at the moment, if only for his leadership qualities. Team is sorely missing such profiles at the moment.
I don't understand why we didn't have him play as a fullback. He knows the position and I would definitely like to switch Blind and him around.
From Bastian himself:
"A medial ligament tear takes time, but everything is healing well. I know my body, everything will be ok,” said Schweinsteiger. “In about five days, I’ll begin to start running again and five days after that I should be training with a ball again."
I have a weird feeling that he'll be amazing for Germany in the Euros this summer.

bad luck, think he fooked himself up good in the WC, kept on playing hurt. Hope for him and you fellas its not a "Jens Jeremies" situation.Strange one with Schweiny.
We all worried he wouldn't play that many games, but he was actually available most of the time.
But then he got what looked like a mid term injury, only to play on, and then the club implied he'd be back very soon.
Yet he seems to have now been out for months!
