This thread needs some balance, hence I'll predict this muppetry won't end well.
Morgan Schneiderlin | BBC: Morgan Schneiderlin is currently having a medical at Manchester United.

This is exactly the kind of signing we should be making.
Reports after reports, I'm starting to think the British press only went into to Kermit mode because arsenal pulled out of the race and we are the only ones left.
Probably the most common-sense signing we could make since RvP.
Just hope this one doesnt go tits up & we somehow dont sign him. He's the type of CM we should have bought years ago - i wont bore you with the details..
In the hindsight, it did feel like one, but it was more a go-for-the-kill signing than a common-sense signing at that time.
I think it was common-sense then too but its just we didnt know he would fall from grace that quickly.
I get you're point, but its the same thing really man. We lost the league by 1 goal - so we signed a top-class Prem striker that would help make sure that wouldnt happen the next season..
He seemed to have gone to shit when Fergie said he was retiring..
I believe that whoever got RVP between us and City would have won the league. We needed the title back, and he was the man to deliver it. We also needed to stop him going to City. I don't know if the club saw it that way as well, but it I think it was definitely the right thing to do, even if we did only get one truly great season out of him.
Quiet before the storm here?
Has there been a single reliable source for this? I keep seeing reports from the STar and the mail but nothing on the BBC or any other reliable journo.
When you look at how long it's been since Liverpool or Arsenal have won a title, well then bringing in RVP to win our 20th was definitely the right decision. I think it's only since SAF has left that United fans are starting to appreciate how difficult it actually is to win this league. Who knows when we'll win it again, so no regrets.
Both Sky and BBC journos have said they expect it to be announced this week. Its as good as done I think (hope)
Could you provide a link by any chance?
Just Twitter talk from those journalists so it doesn't really count. But Sky have said that we are "very interested" and that negotiations were moving forward.
I don't have links handy but there's been various tweets over the past week from Sky. And Howard Nurse from the BBC (usually reliable) tweeted yesterday that it could be done by Wednesday
Still, if they trusted their sources enough, they'd write a story about it. Twitter is their outlet for the information that they don't trust quite enough to put their journalistic integrity at stake.
If Howard Nurse said that, then it's probably done.
I still have this horrible feeling that all this 'news' is just journos piggybacking onto each other, rather then them all having their own sources telling them its close.
Wait, he's only 25? I thought he was a couple years older since he's been around for so long.
It's not too bad, I guess.
It's not too bad, I guess.
He's homegrown too, after the possible departures of Rafael and Evans we may need a few.
He didn't actually post a tweet about it, he was just randomly asked 'how close it Schneiderlin to a United move' or something like that and he said that it could be happening on Wednesday.
We actually ended up scoring less goals than we did the previous season.
Oooooh Yeah!! It's MorgON!!

Isn't that old news and didn't he turn out not to be an official photographer of the club?
Samuel Luckhurst posted it on twitter in the last half hour so I don't think it is.
Cocks out!
Heard a rumor that massive rumblings are indicating that our club photographer has followed Morgan on twitter.
Please tell me it's true fellow muppets? I'm ridiculously lazy at hunting for transfer news on Monday's.
So I painstakingly went through all of the people that Craig Norwood follows on Twitter and the only footballers he follows are Sam Johnstone and Morgan Schneiderlin.
Never thought I'd see a day of Pogue being a transfer muppet.This one's a goer, lads.
GON' LON?
Gone London? Signing for Arsenal.
I'd say it's a matter of time, Schneiderlin will sign.
No, it means we are signing Gonalons as well.GON' LON?
Gone London? Signing for Arsenal.
Oh god, I forgot all about the hilarious 'ON' jokes!! This is done IMO. Great signing. If Di Maria can get back to his best in the middle, then a Schneiderlin/Herrera/ADM trio would be fantastic.
It was posted yesterday already I think, and yes someone did say he's not actually the club photographer. Don't know if it's true or not
