Reminds me of the comment about the person who falls into a barrel full of tits and comes out sucking his thumb. Poor Liverpool

Really pleased with this one. I think Schneiderlin will be our best signing for the window.
Southampton have not shut up about this for over a week. Koeman and Les Reed have had their say.
Can't go to bed when Edorama Festival is on. I'm really happy with this, and this makes the signing of Schweinsteiger even better as I feared Morgan was the 2nd option. Schneiderlin ticks all the boxes for me: PL proven, perfect age and last but not least, finally real quality to replace Carrick. What a signing.
Feel sorry for Southampton though. They've done amazingly well and seems to do everything right when it comes to running a football club, but up steps the bigger clubs to do everything they cant to ruin their progress. Hopefully their signings will kick on like the ones they purchased last summer.
Love the total silence during the negotiation stage. Seems to me that both clubs had an agreement to keep it completely under the radar, probably to give both clubs the best negotiation climate as possible for both the Schneiderlin case and other recruits (Clasie, Schweinsteiger). Well done United and Southampton.
Buzzing!
All they have said is that there's nothing new to report but that they expect Schneiderlin to leave at some stage.
So when do we get an announcement?
Damn it.
Great news to wake up to. We all got played. We were all too busy following Schweinsteiger's private jet's flight path, whilst Morgan Schneiderlin probably rolled in on the Megabus.
All the way from Austria????
It's a hover megabus.
Ahh, sounds like magic school bus to me
, is Ana involved?
You missed the L off the end?
After a crappy weekend at work, this is excellent news to come home to
They won't impact Herrera. He's our creative midfielder.
He's basically a more technical Michael Carrick, who doesn't have the huge, expansive range Carrick possesses.
Being good in tight spaces is what we crave for to compete at the very top level.

Have they locked him and Swine's Tiger in the MRI overnight and forgotten?
Thread title change perhaps? It makes it look like the longest medical in human history. He's probably having brain surgery at Carrington.
I'd like to see him at number 10. I think that's the position that suits him best of all.
With Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Carrick and Blind to protect him now we won't ever need to see him in a more defensive role and he'll be allowed more freedom. Could be great. He's only 26 too so he can still improve significantly.
I like Herrera's encoded message and i'm sure gutted I missed it at the time Can anyone guess what it was? (on his twitter)
Can anyone guess what it was? (on his twitter)Have to admit I was wrong about this. After we signed Schweinsteiger I thought that Van Gaal was making the classic old manager mistake of preferring a player who had been great for him in the past over someone who could be great for him in the future. But the optimists were right and he wanted both after all
Anyway this is another excellent signing, just like Depay and Darmian in that I can see only positives, no negatives at all.

They've mentioned fees and named us as the club interested. Also said our bid wasn't serious, as in a way to belittle the bid we made.
That kind of stuff often gets leaked but for it to officially come out of the club was a bit off imo.
Not to put a dampener on things, this is a great day.
I do take your point though, nobody knew he was even in England let alone having a medical at Carrington. I just don't feel sorry for Southampton in this instance, and I live in Southampton. I like the club.
What's the update on this guys? I had a crazy dream last night that he was snuck into Carrington behind a Bastian Schweinsteiger shaped smoke bomb and they will BOTH sign today

I still can't get over this. I checked my phone first thing this morning. And there it was. Morgan fecking Schneiderlin
It weird thinking about a central midfielder in a sense of "we don't need him", I genuinely don't think I've ever thought like that before because its been so long since we had such a good and well stocked midfield that it was back when I was not really interested in transfers and got my info from the papers when a player signed. Can't wait to see these guys in our shirt.
it's going to be a completley different team this season. Here's hoping they all settle in well and destory whats coming.
I think that is true both ways. Schwein and Schneid are like the ultimate combi signing, like two sticks of a Twix.The feck. I went to sleep with a smile on my face because we've just signed Darmian and Schweinsteiger. Woke up to the news of Schneiderlin confirmed as well
I'd be a bit 'meh' about him if we hadn's signed Schwein but with him in the squad as well, I'm all in for Schneiderlin.
GET IN!!!!!!!
Woodward I love you.
Probably had to wait until today for their registration with the FA.
I woke up at 4:30 thought the alarm doesn't go off for 10 mins so I turned the TV on low.
Sky was saying he was at Carrington. I Bastian you soft git the. They said he will be joining Matteo and Bastian on tour.
I was GET IN.
Then I heard what what.
I was Sniderlin's at Carrington.
I got yah soft git I thought the house was on fire
He is Alsatian, so yeah it's normal that it sounds German, they are on the other side of the boarder.
That region has changed hands between the two countries a few times over the years....
Ah, I see. I have relatives in Alsace by my wife's side, many thing sound German there.
most of the towns end with burg as I saw and similar.
They're gonna present them together aren't they ?
Go on..I like Herrera's encoded message and i'm sure gutted I missed it at the time
I hope they wont do it while I'm at lunch.
Isn't it one of these places that has been German at one time then back to French again?
