See this is what I find strange, Poch used Schneiderlin with Wanyama a lot of the time.

Schneiderlin and Sandro looks immense as a partnership to me...

You are talking about the Sandro of two years ago.

Oh look what you've done Rebrab, got all our hopes up again!

 

[Drexl]

i thought that too!

Yeah just checked, did his ACL in March

No way would he be anywhere near ready for us

Rebrab:

This clearout will lead to something. One final bid...

@Mr Pink .

Sandro - Internacional - THFC - QPR in 4 years - not bad

 

[Bowlesinho]

He was pretty decent last Thursday....

 

[faulks]

Palace taking their time over Fryers aren't they? The guy's been there about 9 hours.

Skysports just showed him leaving the ground with his agent, said the deal is all good.

 

[mil1lion]

Stambouli and Schneiderlin for Holtby and Sandro would be a good improvement but it all hinges on whether one more bid will sway Saints.

 

[Khilari]

JJ said weeks ago there was more to it than meets the eye in terms of what the fans know.

I knew as soon as he said it this was inevitable.

I've heard from a couple of people involved with the club that he became unpopular with the club's hierarchy and some of the dressing room when he talked about Tim Sherwood to the press prior to Sherwood's sacking. Mods PM'd re: my sources.

Maybe Sandro refused to go to a party hosted by uncle Joe's daughter?

 

[RobjDerby]

Rebrab only assuring us of a new offer\bid to match info from others , but as others have said on here, I can't see Southampton caving this late.

 

[easley91]

It's all to get Bale back.

 

[felmani26]

One can only assume we haven't announced Stambouli yet is that Schneiderlin is still very much the first choice here - otherwise I don't see the hold up.

Think it'll all end in vain though.

Rebrab:



@Mr Pink .

One final bid doesn't mean anything, it still has to be accepted and there is no guarantee of that!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

And the rating system is gone...

Can't see either of them being here when the window slams though.

I've always though that the Stambouli stuff was an MS Smokescreen or to make Southampton think we'd lost interest.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

We still have Stambouli, Paulinho, Dembele, Bentaleb, Capoue for 2 central midfield spots. Unless one of them goes I don't see us trying again for Schneiderlin. Especially as Poch has already apparently said he wants to trim down the squad.

 

[Rob]

Ratings gone until server picks up a bit.

 

[easley91]

With Sandro and Holtby on their way, Lennon possibly and Townsend also I can sort of see both Stambouli and Schneiderlin coming in. No further news on Welbeck?

Loan Stambouli straight back out to Southampton?

Paulinho should play behind the striker IMO- he could almost be the Holtby replacement...
