pm a mod. They'll be happy to help you out.
Difference buying a holding midfielder at that age who was the best player on the pitch in the world cup final a year ago, and a striker who hasn't been in good form since early 2013 and has always been really injury prone (though Schweinsteiger isn't perfect with injuries obviously).
If we have signed Basti then I take back every bad word I've ever said about Woodward.
Good on you...Good day to be promoted, welcome!
Enjoy. I got Bellion!
Don't get too excited there
I must be one of the rare ones who isn't that wowed about this signing (yet).
If we do get both Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger we will have quite a lot of physical players in the lineup. It diminishes the usefulness of Fellaini quite a lot. With Darmian and hopefully Otamendi we will also be adding a lot of physical strength to our back 4.
Our signings are so far away from being galactico signings; i havent a clue why others think differently?
I remember that his brother is an United fan.
We fly out on Monday right ?
I suppose we'd try to get it wrapped up before.

Thanks, its a great day for us all!
I'm not going to lie that makes me feel even better
No, I've been promoted for a while, congratulated to the other guy.
I don't like the signing given the figures that are being thrown around, but I'll let the season do the talking.
Very good signing if true. Arguably one we should've made a few years ago, but we could potentially still get a few good years out of him hopefully.
We'll see if he's at the Bayern Team presentation tomorrow.
He's coming?
Time to rejoin this thread:
Woodward statue.Yes, I remember reading some quotes about his brother trying to persuade him into joining United but Schweini always replied that he couldn't do that. His brother is probably over the top right now.
What? How can you consider £13m to sign Schweinsteiger as being too much? Even his salary is not so much, £7m per year which is 135k a week.
We're still healing and he's a good/great signing for utd whilst we're in this phase.
Hell yea. What a day. What a legendary day.He's coming?
A few years ago I wanted us to sign Bastian more than any other midfielder, and there's no way he is significantly worse now than then.
He's 3-4 years younger than Carrick who is probably our best midfielder when fit. It's a no-brainer.

You would have been wowed... 6 years ago, hes still decent but unspectacular, less of a risk than some and reasonably cheap... sensible signing.
I have to say, it would be a bit weird seeing him in a United shirt. He is Mr Bayern. He is the Giggs or Scholes mould.
I've wanted him since van Gaal did his work on him and he showcased it against us, but I find it very strange.
And I still hope it's not either/or when it comes to Morgan Schneiderlin. I just hope it all falls into place, Rooney stays out of central midfield, Herrera stays as a no.8 and Fellaini disappears.

What figures?
Think you've quoted the wrong post mate.
Wonder what Fergie's thinking. Apparently he doesnt like the Germans.
He tried to sign Ballack
Is it safe to say that he is our best midfielder if he signs?
Yes, misclick.
Yeah, that story about him not liking them is probably bs.
I'd say so. I haven't seen too much of him in the previous year so I don't know if he's suddenly regressed, and that's why Bayern are selling him, but if not then I'd rate him as being our best midfielder without a doubt.
You see a door, a large door. A white door. The door is closed. You grab the handle and turn it. The door does not open, the door is locked. You turn around. What do you see? Another door. A red door. This door is open, not like the white door. You walk through it and into the next room. You're standing in front of the same white door as before. The door is locked like before. You already know that the door is locked but you try to open it anyway. The door is locked. You turn back to look at the red door you've walk through, and what do you see? A white door. The same door. Locked. No way to open it. Surrounding by white doors. Trapped. No escape.
Then Moyes gets fired, LVG comes in and 12 months later we potentially have a front six that could include Schweinsteiger, Di Maria, Herrera and Memphis... I think that I need to go and lie down.

There's no way we would get him earlier. Bayern would never let him go.
He'd arguably be the best midfielder in the league (can't think of anyone else really, Matic? Carrick?).
3 down, 3 to go (Schneiderlin, Otamendi and a striker).
YES
YES YES PLEASE BE TRUE
He has been my dream signing since 2005.

True. I mean that, in general, we should've been making a big midfield signing a few years ago, and someone like Schweinsteiger would've been one of those players. Still delighted if we get him now.
