S-Clarke Posted 27 June, 2015 Share Posted 27 June, 2015 Talks are ongoing between the two clubs with Southampton hoping that United will meet their asking price of £25 million for the French international, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and, in the past, Tottenham Hotspur. Feyenoord’s Jordy Clasie and Anderlecht’s Dennis Praet are the two players identified by Southampton, who fear they may lose out if United continue to delay formally bidding for Schneiderlin. Southampton know that Zenit St Petersburg are interested in Praet, 21, should they, as expected, sell fellow Belgium international Alex Witsel to AC Milan this week. The Premier League club are also concerned that rivals may move quickly to sign Clasie who would appear to be their preferred choice to take over from Schneiderlin.....

Badger Posted 28 June, 2015 Share Posted 28 June, 2015 He sounds class' date=' but not exactly a like for like replacement for Morgan.[/quote'] From the info available (mainly through links provided by fellow posters), the options or links are: Attacking midfield : Praet, Wijnaldum, Cabaye Defensive MF : Imbula or Gueye, Clasie appears to be considered more of a defensive mf, although I've also read somewhere he's quite a creative player, so perhaps could adapt to either role. No doubt one of our Feyenoord posters might be able to clarify. Krychowiak - an article this wek said he was only interested in CL football.Obviously we're a year too late to provide him the 'stepping stone' that some aspiring players might view us as. Of the AMF, Praet looks an exciting prospect, but we probably need a bit more experience as well, so one of the other two might be prefereable. For DMF, don't know enough about either to comment. Knowing us, we'll probably bring someone else in, not previously or seriously considered on here (Dutch posters said we should go for Van Ginkel for example.).

beavis17 Posted 28 June, 2015 Share Posted 28 June, 2015 So we're looking for three midfielders then? It sounds like Clasie/Imbula and then Gueye/Benassi for defensive midfield. Then one of Cabaye/Praet for the attacking midfield position. If we get those and Toby we'll be looking very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 28 June, 2015 Share Posted 28 June, 2015 Don't think he's a Morgan replacement. He sounds more like a replacement for Ramirez/Djuricic.

That is so amateur hour. I'm surprised the club's and agents allow it. I'd hate one of the Libeheer's to do a similar thing. West Ham are treading on dangerous ground, I think. It'll be very interesting to see how they do. They're looking (apparently) to ship out the dependable's such as Noble, Dowling etc and they're replacing them with the likes of Payet and Obaing. To me, that's a bit risky. You're replacing tried and tested PL players with foreigners. Just like they did with the manager. It may work out just fine, but is it a risk they needed to take just now? Why not steady the ship, carry on consolidating, bank the mega TV deal and then move to the stadium and invest. They seem to be gambling before they have anything to gamble with. I remember being impressed with Newcastles signings last summer. Cabella, Riveillre - but they did nothing, zilch. Or when Norwich signed Fer and Ricky Whatshisnamewinkel. They're going after all these ''apparent'' big names, but forgetting what got them to this position in the first place. It would be a good laugh to see them in their new stadium in the NPC.

van Hanegem Posted 29 June, 2015 Share Posted 29 June, 2015 Clasie appears to be considered more of a defensive mf, although I've also read somewhere he's quite a creative player, so perhaps could adapt to either role. No doubt one of our Feyenoord posters might be able to clarify. Clasie is a defensive midfielder, he's creative in the way that he is able to deliver great passes and "through balls" I believe it's called in English. Feyenoord was able to dominate the games against Ajax and PSV this last season because Clasie played great with many interceptions, keeping the opponents under pressure. On the other hand, he wasn't able to take the team by the hand in the last ten games or so when Feyenoord needed just three points to qualify for the Uefa League due to his fitness. He's no box-to-box player, he seldomly appears in the opponents box and therefore scores far too less goals for a midfielder, even a defensive midfielder with his potential should score a minimum of 5 goals in the Eredivisie. As I said elsewhere, I do have have my doubts that Clasie is physically fit for the PL. It looks like Koeman is not sure either because he's looking for other options too (I can't believe Koeman told Clasie that he's not the only option just to get the asking price of Feyenoord down...) but when he does make the move to Southampton you better put him in the gym for a couple of months to get some muscles...

Get French Football @GFN_France Marseille could only finance deal in the event of Giannelli Imbula sale. Southampton waiting for Schneiderlin exit to commit to €10m deal.
