Hopefully this gets done tomorrow and he doesn't have to go on tour with Soton.
 
Are we taking it as gospel that this guy is giving us actual quotes and not having us on?

Alex Crook was one of the journalists at the Presser I think, so you'd hope they're real quotes. They did mention that there would be some extra bits held back till 10:30pm.
 
They're practically handing him to us on a plate :lol:

If we don't complete this then our club is an utter shambles.
 
Feck it lads, let's set ourselves up for disappointment. He's signing tomorrow. Done dealio. :drool:
 
This transfer is like an open goal. Infact it's like an open goal where the opposition has left all their players in the other half and we have 5 men running through on goal.

Can we get it over the line?
 
I hope the fact that he didn't mention any Arsenal interest at all in relation to Schneiderlin let alone a bid, just United, puts to rest the rumours that they're back in for him, given how open he's been about everything else.
 
No I have a bad case of knowing who is the better player.

A couple of years with a world class player even if it'd be a risk with his injury record is a risk worth taking, Schneiderlin as well would be good, but a straight choice? Schweinsteigier all day long for me.
I think Schneiderlin directly addresses our problems in midfield more than Schweinsteiger anyway. Schweinsteiger is undoubtedly the better player but I'd prefer Schneiderlin if it was a choice between the two.
 
I reckon we started about £10m apart in valuation - us offering £20m and them wanting £30m. We will end up somewhere in the middle or just above, including add ons

Just fecking sign him so I can watch his youtube video ffs! I've been resisting the urge for fecking weeks now.

The last player I prematurely watched a youtube compilation of was Lucas Moura, after Fergie admitted we were interested in him. We all know what happened next.
 
Guardian have now decided that Southampton want £27 million :lol:

They literally just pluck figures from their ass.
 
If he's on that plane tomorrow I'm going to lose my shit.

Me too! Don't wanna jinx him. Although I'm not sure he's really a "YouTube" player.
 
Douglas Costa was the ultimate Youtube player. I remember watching his video in 2009 and afterwards being convinced we were about to replace Ronaldo as quickly as we'd lost him.

And instead, we got Michael Owen and Gabby Obertan. What a time to be alive :drool:
 
At this point it would be absolutely shocking and embarrassing if we didn't go through with buying him.

Though based off of Koeman's comments, it seems that it is only a matter of time.
 
Actively wanting Schweinsteiger to turn us down just so we can get this one over the line.
