Morgan Schneiderlin Signs For United

[THOWIG]

IMO. We should give up on Schniedertin,and go for Wanyama, or other targets for DMF

Think we have been.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

I hate united.
I swear they directly tell sky sports everything and encourage it.

The Coleman link today, totally minor, and there's a huge piece on wheather he be a fit at United.

They're using the media to poach players!
It's making me question whether I want to continue paying for sky.

 

[KalSpur]

He's been pictured arriving for pre-season training at Southampton today though

Yup, saw that too. He better get a wiggle on if he wants to make the medical in Manchester.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Do you believe that? Even after his venting tweet? Southampton pissed us around, not us them.

Dragged it on for too long lowballing (or not throwing money at them like Pool/Arse), Chambers deal and the resulting backlash meant Southampton closed shop. He was then told he had to stay and then was pissed off.

Pretty sure either an ITK or a Soton based journo even alluded to this. Happy for @TrickyVilla or someone more ITK to prove me wrong. Everyone else is speculating...

 

[SpartanSpur]

What? Wasn't it Southampton who promised they'd sell him and then when they realised the fans were completely annoyed by the board selling all their players - I think the Chambers sale was the tipping point - they then reneged on their promise even though he was adamant in wanting to move to Spurs? I also remember reading that we'd matched the asking price and everything but they just flat out refused to sell him and that's why he posted that tweet about being annoyed because they'd broken that promise.

Pretty sure we offered something like £12m last summer. Never got near his price. If we'd gone in heavy early doors like Arse, Utd and Pool we would have got the job done on him and J-Rod. Whilst I understand we can't operate like that I'm sure MS was less understanding.

Good news is that Trix said he's still interested so we didn't burn any bridges.

I was under the impression that we didn't get it done early because he wanted to put everything off until after the World Cup on the understanding that Southampton had promised to sell him. I remember reading ITK from a Soton forum that had been posted on a different Spurs forum that alluded to the utter calamity that was Soton and their board at the time and that Spurs had matched the fee but the board had completely changed their stance after the Chambers sale and refused to sell anyone else, regardless of previous promises or how much was offered.

If it was MS decision then fair enough, we wouldn't be held accountable. However this is Spurs, and the thought that we were less decisive than other clubs is not exactly far fetched...

 

[Supersi32]

We pissed him around last year when he was desperate to come to be fair...

He wanted Arsenal last year apparently.

What really messed up our chance is the Strootman's injury, who was manure's #1 target.

Well if he goes to Utd as looks likely good luck to him - plenty more fish in the sea.

I love that people can spin entire articles out of social media stuff now

That "Messi followed Chelsea on instagram" was my favourite silly season saga in a few years.

Oh no!

The ITK was that Levy had exceeded the ceiling value that Pochettino valued Schneiderlin. Southampton had a field day with transfers and drew the line apparently after his transfer to us was agreed or was happening...them Southampton pulled the plug leaving Schniederlin pisses off hence his tweet. If you want us to throw around money like Liverpool...why don't you go and support Liverpool

If you read one of my other responses you would see I understand we can't throw our money around, but MS may not have been so understanding (which was the subject). There were numerous sources suggesting we were well short of Soton's valuation until it was already too late.

Morgan. Was at the World Cup last summer and declared he would sort his future when he returned. By the time this happened Southampton had stung all the clubs for a huge profit. Can you not see that Southampton pissed around both us and Morgan?

Can you not see that both Spurs and Soton could have pissed around Morgan also? Spurs and Morgan especially would have been very pissed off at the outcome.

Now if Morgan decided to delay it himself then I'm sure he wouldn't hold it against us. If he was happy to wait while we agreed a deal then that's a different story. If we slapped the right cash on the table early on he could have signed during a training camp much like Lallana and Lambert.

Like I said elsewhere Trix says he'd still come so that's a good thing, I just think we can't knock the guy for weighing his options up (more prestigious and lucrative ones) before signing for Spurs.

Southampton's valuation changed when they went back on their word and no longer wanted to let him go.
By the way, Sky have bigged up a Liverpool interest now, Obviously if Man Utd are interested they have to introduce a local rival, hey presto the Scousers!
