but they have Dele Alli whom the media keep telling us is the best young English midfielder ever and who Ross can never hope to be as good as.

If he is used correctly then yeah he's good. Van Gaal didn't do that and this season he has been rarely seen.

except even the most diehard Spurs fans I know acknowledge he's going through the same growing pains Barkley is.

Oddly enough he's getting 1/20th the criticism tho...

Didn't we get loads of Saints supporters coming here during the whole Koeman thing saying we could only dream of signing Schneiderlin? 100% on board then!

Was one of the absolute best midfielders in the league for a couple years at Southampton. Never seemed to fit with United, but go have a look at how highly he was rated when they signed him - if we can get him back to that level (and seeing he'll be rejoining the same manager, it's not unlikely) then he'd be a fantastic buy.

Agreed. Hopefully we can get him for a bit less than £24M though. Seems pricey for a lad who has hardly played recently but then prices have gone crazy.
