Shove Townsend into a wheelbarrow full of cash and get it sent down to Southampton asap! I don't care if we have to pay over the odds, this is the guy we are crying out for!

We needed a hard bastard like Morgan in there with Capoue today. Surely levy can see this. Best thing is that this boy can really play too.

Offer £10m and chuck Townsend in. Two birds with one stone.

He'll go to Arsenal. Can see it in tomorrows papers.

Buying BS is exactly where we are at financially and he might turn out to be a good signing. MS would clearly be a better option its just we cant afford the quoted price. End of story.

Who told you we 'can't afford' him?! Utter nonsense. Don't want to pay for him.

If we don't get Morgan because of a couple of million when it is plain to see he would be a fantastic player for our midfield and Pochs system and he then ended up in Woolwich I would be utterly depressed.

It would be so us.

Yeah, we have to operate within set constraints...but the big picture here is screaming that this signing was worth more to us than the average signing we make.

I really thought we would get him this time last week.

I'd rather the scum buy MS than use that money on a striker. They have a bus load of centre midfielders and look so lightweight up front

Just wish for once I wish we'd sign a player our manager actually wants and not a cheaper " replica". We had this with Moutinho and AVB and now with Schneiderlin. We bring these managers in with great hope and then don't buy the key players they want which will let them do the job they were hired for and instead squander money on players which are second, third or last on their list. Whether it's because we don't have the money or just don't want to spend, it is bloody frustrating. Bring in Schneiderlin now..Let's not miss this opportunity. Townsend's value is dropping fast.

They do, but their midfield would be excellent with Schneiderlin in there. And I assume they will be signing a striker anyway...

You do realise managers have a list and therefore the players we sign and likely to be on this list (albeit further down) and therefore, we are signing players he wants.

I still think the failure to get MS has to do with Southampton not wanting to sell to us because we took Poch. We have no chance of getting anyone from them for a while

I realise that and that's why I said key players, the players that were key to his system and philosophy. These players would help implement things a lot quicker. We buy lesser players who could be developed and then don't have the time or patience to see it through... Or we spend 26m on Soldado :)

Plus Southampton seem to do a lot of business with Woolwich. MS will end up there or at Old Trafford. Depressing.

Maybe redknapp was our perfect manager then, happy to get old legends coming to the end of their careers

But all these lists of players they want are close to £30M. TBH if we had signed Moutinho, Hulk, Willian etc I still don't think the end result with AVB would have been different. What we need is a manager that can work the best result with the resources at his disposal.

Except the one thing everyone acknowledges they lack is a ball winning midfielder. Schneiderlin would be perfect for them.
