Schneiderlin for sure. He is the future.
Every time I see you I think "you're the cnut that nicked the username I wanted".
Now look at my tagline because of it. YOU CAUSED THIS. hehe
Nope, from Leeds!And I always thought you're from the Netherlands ...
You need to change your profile then.Nope, from Leeds!
I'll be really annoyed if we don't sign Schneiderlin this summer. There simply isn't a better suited midfielder for what we need and the money being spoken about, to fix such an obvious need in our team, is great value.
Schweinsteiger has been one of my favourite players in the world for the last 5-10 years. Would have taken him over nearly any other signing a year or three ago. But if it was a choice between the two this summer, it can only be Schneiderlin.
There is. Name is Xhaka. I'd easily rather see us sign him than the other two. And I'm a massive fan of Schneiderlin.
Change it from what?You need to change your profile then.
It says "from North London" but you just said you were from Leeds.Change it from what?
Do you know how taglines work round here? The mods set them, usually as a disgusting wind up.It says "from North London" but you just said you were from Leeds.
You'd want us to sign a Premier League unproven, relatively young player named after an igneous rock over a well rounded Premier League midfield magician?There is. Name is Xhaka. I'd easily rather see us sign him than the other two. And I'm a massive fan of Schneiderlin.

So you'd rather sign Xhaka over both Schneidlerlin AND Schweinsteiger?Yes
Oh yeah Schneiderlin over Schweinsteiger for me. I rather have a player about to hit his peak than a player who might have already peaked.

I can't argue against that because I haven't seen him play, but playing for Moechengladbach would be different than playing for Southampton - especially when debating who'd be better at playing at the top end of the premier league with United.I rate Schneiderlin highly, but Xhaka is quite simply more talented and I'd argue already better.

I'd love to see Xhaka come too, though. I've read good things about him before.
Care to elaborate rather than just saying "yes"?
I'm just saying that Schneiderlin has already shown himself to be one of the best in his position in the league. Of course this hasn't meant anything plenty of times, but buying players like RVP or Fabregas has shown in the past to have an instant impact.I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Obviously Gladbach are a different team compared to United or Southampton. I'm fairly certain that Xhaka will be the better player of the two, when you'll compare their peaks in the future. In fact he's one of those players you can build your team around and who will be an important player for a Champions League winning side. I'd bet on that. If we don't go for him, it would be equally as stupid as not going for Javi Martinez (if we were never interested).

Sounds good! I've honestly not heard anything bad about him.I think what we need most in midfield is another passer. Someone who can dictate the game. Xhaka seems like best youngish option available(since Veratti is not realistically attainable). Xhaka is also a player with no issues dealing with the more physical side of the game.
I like Schneiderlin and would be happy if we sign him, but he has never been anywhere near the level of RVP and Fabregas (first spell). They were world class players.I'm just saying that Schneiderlin has already shown himself to be one of the best in his position in the league.

Schneiderlin is probably more comparable with Young/Fellaini/Downing. A very good player who was playing brilliantly in a midtable team. The transfer to a top team can go both ways: raise the level and be great, or be found out and fail.
I never suggested that he is, I'm just giving examples that buying proven Prem talent pays off.I like Schneiderlin and would be happy if we sign him, but he has never been anywhere near the level of RVP and Fabregas (first spell). They were world class players.

A bit better yes, but not much better. Young was ridiculously good in 2008-2009 season IMO. He was in PFA team of the year (I know, not that important thing) and a deluded journo called him as good as Messi and Ronaldo.Xhaka has done the same in the Bundesliga. Arguably he's been the best central midfielder in Germany. The Premier League proven notion is overstated IMO.
I think he's shown a much better level at Southampton than the others at their former clubs.
