I feel he will be with us till next summer then that's 3 outstounding years in the PL and surely someone will stump up the 27m plus that he is worth and we will say thankyou and goodbye

 

Fair assumption. The good thing is with such a long contract, his value is still only going to rise at the moment. The club held all the cards this summer with this one, and they used it.

 

God knows what happened with the other 5 though!

We were offered obscene amounts of money for them. HTH.

I don't think £27m for Schneiderlin is any less 'obscene' than the prices we got for Shaw and Lallana. I know nobody's made that bid but the club have said he's not going for any money. Over the last few weeks we've discussed all sorts of potential reasons why the club dug their heels in over Schneiderlin, including:

 

-An unhappy Morgan would not kick up as much fuss as an unhappy Lallana or Lovren

-Morgan is more important/less replaceable in the team than those who departed

-Krueger said that one or two unhappy players is manageable but five or six isn't - it might just be that enough had already left for us to manage the remaining grumblers, including Schneiderlin

-The club pulled the plug when they realised the extent of the fan backlash and the harm it would do

 

Money offered isn't one of them, unless the club knew there was no chance whatsoever of anyone offering £27m so they felt safe in saying he wasn't going for any money.
