It's absolutely crazy Bayern are selling him. It's like us selling Scholes a few years before he retired.

They're playing a lot of trust in ol' Pep.
 
Well it is as good as confirmed. Great signing. I think his experience is going to help our midfield no end.

Is it? IIRC, Scholes never said he had a dream of playing abroad.

Well he wants to leave so I don't think they have much of a choice.
 
This will either be a genius move, or a complete disaster.

Huge gamble. Hope LVG has got this one right.
 
I know it's a sponsorship thing, but it's kind of odd to see bottles of beer on the table at a press conference.
It's Germany. They have to have beer for every occasion. Kind of similar to what we do with wine in Italy.
 
Just followed him on Twitter, this comes up:

Wouldn't mind any of them to be fair :D

Put it in context: imagine if we sold Scholes at 30/31 or Keane at 30/31 or Rio at 30/31. All still giving quality seasons while we won plenty of trophies. Schweinsteiger might only have another 2 or 3 seasons at the top, but they're with us :drool:

Same age as Scholes was in 2005 in fact. 5 titles and a European Cup is his target, then.
 
From what I have seen with France, he isn't world class, he is very good but not a top player, yet.

I agree man, but training with better players will always improve your game & Schneirderlin can only improve if he moves to United.

Chelsea's most important player in them winning the league imo, was Matic, & Schneirderlin is equally as good as him - if not better, plus his physicality is much more impressive.

I just hope we get this deal sorted, because he'd be an OT fans hero i feel..
