Spoke to Mike Richards (ex Saints Director) on Sunday. Schneiderlin cost 1 million Euros and there was never any link to Arsenal in that signing.

 

Can't be right, everyone knows Arsenal have first preference on all our players and we never pick up amazing bargains like that.... ;)

Between him and Lambert for our best value signing in recent history.

 

MS is better value than Lambert for me. Just taking into account age and potential. Not that Lambert wasn't a cracking piece of business though.

 

Who actually scouted/ signed Schneiderlin?

Morgan was signed on the recommendation of Georges Prost.

 

Yeah I remember that, but I assume we still had a look ourselves. Someone from the scouting department must have had a look at him, even if just confirm Prost's opinion.

Wouldn't count on it, if Georges told Rupert that Morgan was the real deal (alright future real deal) at only a million euros he'd probably take it as read. Might have had someone take a look at him at Toulon I suppose but Morgan was signed in early June if I recall correctly Prost developped Bale and Walcott amongst others, can't see any reason why Rupert wouldn't trust his judgement even above a club scout who he might not have been familiar with.

Ironic given how the deal was so often used as a stick to beat Lowe with.

 

Morgan has really turned into a cultured player and, as many a manager has said, got better as we played in higher leagues. It shows how those close to the players can spot talent, even if we fans don't see it.

 

The one aspect of Morgan's game that has really developed is strength; it's really made a difference to him.
