And he asking them to feck off!
I'm being semi-sarcastic. I am quite pessimistic when it comes to our transfers though, even after last year, its what years of false dawns (transfer wise) and underspending does to some people.
Further evidence from barely a week ago :
good job mate. Lets hope we get him and make it 3/3. And ending @Lynk 's run.
I wonder why City never seemed interested in him. Quality player and home grown. Maybe he was too expensive a player for a position they already have depth in. Or maybe they'll atart sniffing around now. Deal isn't yet done to United so he's still fair game.
Because City are weird. He's significantly better than Fernando/Fernandinho. He is also home-grown and while expensive, 25m aren't that much in today's market.
I wish we could fast forward 72 hours to see how this one pans out.
Maybe reports are true that we've agreed personal terms with him but not Southampton, if we had it would probably dissuade City.
I hope not but it's a bit too late for that I think. If they could jump in the same moment Arsenal dropped out of bidding war they might have a chance.
After latest media's reports looks like player himself decided a specific destination. It appears now that Koeman and Schneidi's agent are waiting on us to close the deal.
Why do people always worry about City?, we have more money than them while also being a MUCH bigger club.
I don't think we have more money. We've been more capable of spending due to FFP.
Which hasn't changed, they still have to spend within their means. The point is we can pay what we want transfer fee wise (as our pursuit of Bale proves) and we can match or better what they can offer in wages, while also being a far bigger club.
There is nothing to fear from them, if FFP didn't exist in any form then things may be different.
I'm hoping we just pushed this aside for the moment to get the more difficult Schweinsteiger deal finished and now we'll make this happen too. It seems like we should know what we have to do to get Schniederlin so I'd imagine we can wrap this up quickly if we choose to.

Insightful as ever. The issue is we can't agree a fee. Didn't really think of that one.

Southampton journalist Alex Crook says he still thinks he'll sign for us. Answered a reply to someone on twitter about an hour ago.
And people pay him to read that crap
Not even arguable IMO. Given the range of options and some sheer quality, it would be the best midfield in the country.
Chelsea's midfield is still excellent, mind.
Oh without doubt it is. But it's still a bit lacking and hence why Mourinho is reportedly in for a big signing there.
Southampton played two different teams vs Valencia and Salzburg and he didn't play in any of them. Surely Southampton think he is still leaving. We need to make sure to wrap it up soon and not let other clubs come in and make it complicated.
This is the only signing, where I wouldn't mind that we overpay. Even for £30m. Just get it done.
With him on board our midfield would be ridiculously strong. Get the feeling Van Gaal has a hard on for midfielders, just like Ferguson had for strikers. And those are the positions they themselves played while active.
Woodward is fecking around with the fee, probably has a bit of an upper hand with the Schwein signing now, United not looking nearly as desperate as they did before. However, don't think Saints are going to budge too much either way, hope he finishes this off soon.
People also replying that Denis Law was the last to sign to United from Torino and not Taibi, which is correct.
I like Schneidy but might prefer William Carvalho if I had the choice, and when you're talking close to 30m there could be other options.
Were there any other Southampton first team players who didn't play?
Don't know all details but few of their first team players are not on tour. Those who have gone on tour, I think everyone played.
Ok since its being reported by so many people that we're still in for Schneiderlin i'm excited again I cant help it! Really hope we get it done so that he can join the squad on the US tour.
This Alex Crook lad has been running this for weeks, I don't think he's being particularly insightful (whether it does or doesn't happen) he just seems to be sticking to his guns.
We need to wrap this transfer up ASAP. I can see City, Chelsea or Arsenal jumping in any time soon just to throw a spanner in our works! We need Schneiderlin to Old Trafford now!
I know Woodward wasn't in charge then but look how many deals have we lost out on because we have fecked around with fees or agent fees etc over the last 10 years or so, the same will happen here if we don't pay up.
Why? It doesn't seem that we're in a rush or something. I think he was a backup option if Schweinsteiger didn't pan out.
The situation for Schneiderlin is now different as well. I'm not sure he'll be picked if all of Herrera, Carrick and Schweini are fit.
Lacks depth, in my opinion. Matic and Cesc are fantastic, but Mikel and Ramires are middling players and Oscar often flatters to deceive.
If we sign Schneiderlin then I think we have the strongest depth in the league.
Schneiderlin could play over Carrick. I'm not saying he's as good, but he brings something different. He'd certainly get a lot of games when Carrick is inevitably injured!
Carrick and Schwein will probably have a lot of rotation between them as we have Champions League back

They want 27 million and we offered only 20.
I'm sure we will get this done.

Yeah, I mean after years of this club going without trophies you'd think they'd see some sense like you when it came to transfers.
I'd like to see us sign him as well. Quality DM, would allow Schweinsteiger to play in his more natural position, he's home grown and he's an ideal age.
The two reasons we might need to rush are that we need to sign him very soon to take him on the pre-season, and because City might try to swoop now that they're not going to get Delph.
Don't agree, the teams will come to an agreement eventually.
