Come back from having a pint at the pub to hear this news... Chuffed to bits perfect for us, should be able to contend well.
 
Interesting to know that he played against us in that cup tie we played against them in January 2009 (and the 2011 one). They were in a dire state back then, he really is a club legend there - been right from the bottom up to the glory days they have had in the last 2 years (Being a classy top half Premier League team getting into Europe).
 
I'm so fecking giddy right now!

I feel like a kid on Christmas day :lol::lol:

I also remember Ferguson really praising Southampton in 2013 where we won 2-1, calling them the best team to play at Old Trafford that season. Schneiderlin played the full 90.
 
Great signing - again! :)

PS What the bugger's going on with Ribery in that Bayern celebration gif on the previous page? :D
 
Dunno about that, in terms of excitement at the time, when we signed Anderson he was hyped as being the next Ronaldinho.

Well the difference is Anderson was about 80% excitement over what he can potentially do and 20% what he's actually done. With Schneiderlin we're signing someone who has already been one of the top midfielders in the premier league
 
Reading the Saints Web forum and it's really refreshing to see fans pleased for their player to be moving on to another club for a change, I hope he gets a good reception when we play them next season.
 
It's right up there with 2007 isn't it

Depay = Nani
Schneiderlin > Anderson
Schweinsteiger > Hargreaves

Just need a striker to rival Tevez I guess

I would put Schneiderlin=Hargreaves, actually Hargreaves was even a better transfer (cold cover more positions on high level).

Seems crazy now but, at the time Anderson was considered arguably the best young talent in World Football.
 
I just realised how tough it's going to be to predict the squad now. No more 11/11 scores every week :(

I saw one the other day say he'd actually prefer them selling him to us rather than Arsenal, etc.
 
One thing to note is that why didn't any reporter pick up on it earlier? There's a bunch of United fans on Twitter who were at the training ground who tweeted the reporters (before it was announced) saying they all saw Schneiderlin, clear as day, go into Carrington about 5 minutes after Schweinsteiger went in. Something dodgy going on there in regards to withholding of information for betting purposes?

Because the English media are fecking useless.

Was probably one of them who put a 4 figure bet on him signing today.
 
We deserve this, fellow muppet brothers. Finally a midfield befitting of a team like Manchester United.

From Anderson/Cleverley/Giggs/Gibson/Fletcher/Carrick

To Herrera/Mata/Carrick/Schneiderlin/Di Maria/Schweinsteiger/Blind

Thats just ridiculous tbh.

We've finally got the midfield we've been dreaming of for about 7 years
 
He did very well when we won the league and CL in 2008. Other than that he didn't do much..

As a rightback because he failed in cm and Fletcher jumped him in the pecking order to partner Carrick. If Schneiderlin ends up at rightback it'll be a big surprise
 
Knew something was in the offing when Clasie was removed from Feyenoord's lineup in the morning, though I would have thought it would be done in a couple of days and was actually concerned it may have been a City gazump, but my word, I had seemingly done the impossible and underestimated Woody! :lol:
 
This has been an amazing weekend. Just Ramos or Otanmendi now and bring them all on. We have really improved our squad, great buys. Chelsea we are fecking coming to get our trophy back:devil:
 
Best signing of the summer and addresses the most obvious need we've had for about 5 years. This midfield is going to be dominant.

Schweinsteiger Herrera
Scheniderlin

:devil:
 
Wheres that GIF of all the players and LVG dancing and celebrating?
