If those two really are sorted and we've actively working on closing Schneiderlin, I'd prefer if we just sat back and let Pochettino wrap up the USA tour before pushing for any more transfers. 3 that have strengthened the team where we needed it, let's just allow the manager to evaluate his squad before making any rash decisions on transfers. A good deal isn't so good when you don't actually need the player and don't have a place in the squad to fit him.
I'm sure they have Pochettino's approval to push on with the likes of Schneiderlin, a former player of his after all. They probably drew up the list of targets with him before the squad left for the states.
In fact I think its reasonable to assume that Schneiderlin is definitely a big preference for Poch.
