I saw a tweet from a news source earlier saying he'd decided on Schalke, but nothing since. Wouldn't be suprising if he chose Schalke, champions league, plus a lot of dutch players go to the bundesliga?
If getting him on a loan means we don't have to spend a princely sum on Willian, I'm all for it!
I don't think he'd want to go to Schalke over us. The fact of the matter is that he would play one of the wide positions in their 4-3-3 and they have Farfan and Holtby plus they have bought Obasi and Barnetta as the L/R backups. So he's going to go there to fight with 4 players whereas he could come to us where he'd rotate in and out with just Lennon. If he wants playing time, we are a better option.
