Morgan Schneiderlin Speculation


S-Clarke

Recommended Posts

The lack of any real substance on Morgan worries me. Been a case of ''not sure how long, but he's out for this game'' for the last 2.

 

Worry like, "he's off to Arsenal in the window and we are testing what the options are without him and smoke screening with 'injury'"?

In respect of Morgan it depends where we finish the season:

 

No European Football = Gone in the Summer

Europa League = 50/50

Champions League = Likely stay the season

 

For me, he's gone regardless of how we do. He feels he has served his time here and he wants to play for a bigger team.

 

Only things remaining are if its Jan/summer and how much Arsenal are willing to pay. Injury to Cork may scupper a January move.

 

If Arsenal allow him to go to Spurs they really are stupid. He's a perfect fit for them.

he wont be staying

he has been pretty clear that he still wants out

 

I think Wanyama is more up arsenal street.

they need a big power house. And vic can now play

also, arsenal have been linked with Kondogbia (sp) who is even bigger

Not really worried about any transfer, more worried that the injury is worse than is being let on (or not let on about at all!) We'll find out sooner rather than later i guess.

I am led to believe that it depends on where we finish. You are of course welcome to your opinion.

I have not seen one single quote from morgan about that.

but seen PLENTY about him wanting to play for a genuine BIG club?

No links, just passing on what I have heard from someone I trust and would know. The clue to that was me saying "I am led to believe".

 

Would be interesting to hear if one of our ITK's such as KBilly, Monk or Guan have heard similar.

He won't stay on the off chance we get through a CL qualifier, with the prospect of getting our arses handed to us if we make it into the group stages as a low seed

 

He has done his time here, he owes is nothing and if he has half a brain he will want to test himself at a genuine higher level. Good luck to him.

I must say it certainly would be rather strange if we did let him go in January considering we weren't willing to do so in the summer; plus of course it would make far more sense for him personally to stick around for a season and get a proper pre-season under his belt at a new club.

 

Having said all that, selling him in January would

 

1) Give us more time to adapt to not having him in the side

2) Give us more time to see if we can buy a replacement and/or whether or not we're going to adjust our set-up having lost our best player

3) Allow us to get a higher price for him from clubs who're really desperate to buy a DMF/CMF 'quarterback' type player that he is

4) Do all of the above safe in the knowledge that survival is already secure and there's no possibility of anything particularly disastrous happening.

 

£25Mn is the absolute bare minimum selling price and we should certainly approach the negotiating table starting at around about £35-£37Mn.

 

I'd be surprised if he did go in January though I must say.

 

If, hypothetically (because it won't happen), we did finish in the top-four this season and qualified for the CL group stages, I do think he'd stay.

He is off to Spurs with J-rod in January according to the Mirror. Spurs have a 20 million pound mid season transfer kitty to land both of them :lol: :lol: :lol:

But it doesn't say that does it? It says, pretty clearly, £20m plus funds raised from sales.

 

They won't sign either in January, anyway.

How much do you reckon they will get from player sales then? not much I reckon. I know it falls in to your "all saints fans think the press hate us" bugbear, which you love to bring up as often as daleks we will finish 17th routine, but that article is pretty crap IMO.

Not a Spurs fan so couldn't give two sh its about what they might raise from sales.

 

It is crap but just simply pointing out that it clearly doesn't say what you said it does.

somehow it's hard to think that either Schneiderlin...(or Jay Rod) would go in January, and their eventual return-to-form would leave a clearer picture in May instead.

The final factor in the equation would surely be - if we qualify for some sort of Euro competition next season? - if not, we may see another exodus of star-names... based on our fantastic start this season.

 

No-one is sure how long Morgan's return will take, and (again-like Jay Rod) what sort of form he will hit when he does return. The mindset of a long-term "return-ee" must surely be clouded by the thought -will the injury hold-up?...or will I get injured again? Expecting someone to come " roaring back " in top form belongs in Fantasy Football games. The Prem.is tough enough even for fully fit, on-form players.

 

Faced with this prospect, only a very daring (or foolish) person would pay out the £20-25 million that Saints would surely demand for each player - were they to go so soon.

  • 2 weeks later...
I think that's why they call it "speculation" ;)

 

 

Ah but there they're making out that they didn't make it up and start putting about. Speculation falls into 2 main categories "paper talk" ie crap they've made up themselves and "agent bolloaks", whereby someone interested in getting the player a move makes it up and tells the paper.

Schneiderlin is far too good for Spuds, and the transfer valuations they have made are either insulting or ridiculous.

I would have though that Man Ure would have been interested as well as Arsenal.

I doubt we can keep him if we can't afford £70K a week.

IMO £25mill is the least we should accept.

I think we probably can afford 70K a week for him--the problem would be the cascading effects on other salaries. Would everyone want a raise if he gets that amount or would the other players be happy the club is holding onto a top player?

It will be touch and go if he is here at the end of Jan. Hopefully we ha. A good replacement ready.

 

Can't see anything happening in January, just don't think anyone will offer anywhere near enough.

Still think Clasie is far too small to be an effective CM in the PL as well, wouldn't count on that either.

Clearly not "touch and go", nowhere near that.

 

If Arsenal (or Barcelona) rock up with £25m he would go, but that's more than incredibly unlikely.

 

He's here until the summer.

Let's hope you are right, as the team fades perhaps MS head will turn. Poch is a lucky manager and Spurs are a massive club compared to us, I can see why MS would want to go there.Spurs will finish the season well as Pochs method get instilled, it is galling but that is going to be the way it will end.

We don't know what the club will accept or what was agreed when the deal was cancelled at the end of the summer. I do hope you are right and Spurs will wait their time, unless of course some even bigger clubs want him, that would be best for us as at least there will be a bidding war. It wasn't happening in the summer gone but perhaps the publicity has alerted a few more clubs to his ability

I don't doubt that you're right about the second part, looked at them the other day, they're beginning to seize what's required

and look pretty fit at the end of games, still rather have him here than there myself but it wasn't to be.

yep, I really like Koeman and happy he chose to come to us, but it felt more exciting with Poch at the helm. Now it is obvious that the club policy is to sell if the player wants to go, how can we feel the same about any player. Under the old regime you knew they would really fight to keep a player and not court offers.

Would be very disappointed if we sold him in January halfway through our best PL season.

 

Pretty clear he will go in the summer which I think most fans accept and wouldnt begrudge him a move to a CL club.

 

But January would be madness.

 

Absolutely, if he goes in the summer i will have no hard feelings whatsoever. If he goes for £30million or more in january and we sign Sneijder for example, i don't think i'd be too upset then either...

it would be hard for the club to turn down £30m in January.

and hard for the player if arsenal/united come calling

 

I really hope he stays until the summer. brilliant player

Why? They would possibly have more clubs come in during the summer and it would significantly weaken our chances of getting into the Europa League.

 

As for the player its only another 4 months. He will have plenty of options in the summer.
