Just watch that video guys, i think im coming to the decision that he can replace Carrick, he is not as good yet at dictating, but him and Herrera would absolutely boss the midfield area.
Hasnt signed yet so we dont know what his value is ffs
V Arsenal

People saying he's not worth 25m in this day and age are foolish. If lallana/fellaini went for more then it's a very fair price.
Does anyone have a link to the story/tweet?
I'm creaming myself. Been wondering for a long time now why we haven't been linked to him. He seems like the obvious option for our midfield. Would love to have him here. £25m is a fair price.
I'd say that's fair value. He's young and the best player at a top half Premiership team. That's a fair chunk of the 25 million just there. Add in that he's in high demand (if the rumours are to be believed) and the price seems fair.
Remember, top top talent goes for way north of £50 million nowadays. Prices are completely through the roof. £25 million isn't actually that much in football any more.
Indeed. 25m is squad player prices in the modern market.
Ledley King was the main man at Spurs, not Carrick. However, your assessment of Carrick is true.
Schneiderlin will not be a squad player though, so 25m is justifiable for a starter at a top club.
Still very early days but fingers crossed we get him in.
£25 million.......I'd give them that in a second.
King was your best player but Carrick was the man who made things tick in a way he never replicated at Man Utd.
Anything to get a really good option that could just go in instead of Carrick.
Is peter just being a troll or just plain silly?
He was pretty much a one man midfield the last time we won the league. Without him I don't think we'd have come close that season.
If it came off, this transfer would make my summer. I'd be more excited than if we signed Bale/ Gundogan/ generic midfielder. He's exactly what we need. 
If Arsenal were to sign him they'd have a heck of a team and probably would be challenging for the title next season. Having said that, they already have that cock-of-lamb fella, who has actually turned out to be pretty decent.

Would be a fantastic addition to our midfield. £25 million is a very good price for a proven EPL player.
What did people talk about before 442 died and the is he a #6 or is he an #8 debate ensued?
Just signed him on Fm 2015 handheld for 10.5 milion )
)Cold rainy night at stoke?
Any excuse eh?
I see him also as a number 8, who can play as a 6. He is a Strootman/Vidal/Nainggolan type of player in terms of position and what he offers defensively and offensively.
That said, i expect us to sign someone for the 6 position with a great passing range, Gündogan or Schweinsteiger probably. Gündogan is more like an 8, but maybe we will try to convert him.

Hope it's true and not Gundogan all over again
Usually When Southampton receive a bid it's all over British press.
@Invictus cheers!
Why do people keep saying this? There are many players like him out there.
Oh, come on! Sometimes you have to say "feck the fee", and the Schneiderlin case is one of which I can tolerate the high fee.
Utterly insane. I remember my old man having a fit when Tottenham paid £200,000 for Martin Peters saying football had gone mad.
Against Chelsea (away) this season. Man of the match; WhoScored.com gave him an 8.8 for the game.
When you look at how much sponsors are now paying United, how much the TV deals are worth, and the cost of tickets, £25m for a quality player is not expensive.
I partially agree, he is not a Carrick replacement in the passing and controlling department, we'd still need another CM brought in for that. I do think he can sit deeper though with someone like Gundogan next him as a double pivot to play that part in the team, while he focuses on winning the ball and protecting the back 4.
The thought of having more than one centre midfielder who isnt flat-footed.
It's all too much at the minute.The thought of having more than one centre midfielder who isnt flat-footed.
It's still mind-boggling, at least to me.
Manages to get his foot in a few times which probably got him man of the match. Other than that, bang average. His passing isn't that great and he looks rushed under pressure. Plays a few long balls out wide to his fullback that has them running towards their own byline, which isnt ideal.
I've never been massively impressed by him. He's looked ok for France a few times, but I never judge on international performances. He's a bit of a Cabaye type figure on here for me - most think he's the bee's knees but I don't really see anything special.
His defensive contribution? Not all players on the pitch need to offer great creativity or dribbling going forward. He would add that balance LvG has been crying for.
