Morgan Schneiderlin

[Simon baker]

We should be all over Leno at that price.

Lars bender too cracking player

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'd take all three

SIGN THEM, SIGN THEM ALL

Bolasie isn't anywhere near as bad as people make him out.

We need quality in midfield and Schneiderlin would definitely bring that.

Barry can't play every game, Barkley isn't ready to play deeper, Cleverley needs to be binned off.

If Koeman can get him playing like when he was at Southampton it would bring exactly what we lack - someone who can control the pace of the game while also running the pitch.

Morgan/Gana partnership could be brilliant IMO.

Schneiderlin was a bit part player at Southampton. Wanyama was the main force in CM. Schneiderlin is just a bread and butter player and the only thing Koeman would have him for is to encourage the long ball game. His stock in trade is to pump long diagonals to wingers. An utterly predictable brand of football that even Moyes distanced himself from when he left Everton.

Esk said it's on

Close thread please

Could also mean mate that we weren't prepared to offer what Man U wanted for him, but WBA were.

I'll be honest mate, I can't believe that Everton were unable to match the offer of WBA. If that is the case, it raises serious questions about the direction the club is going. I firmly believe if Everton want schneiderlin they would get him.

 

[Darren Higgs]

If we want him i dont know why negotiations havent been done prior to the window opening.

Mate if we were after wanyama you would be saying Schneiderlin was the main man.

Leno is an utter Howard of a goalkeeper. Stop this madness please.

Provides the energy of McCarthy with the positional sense and passing range of Barry.

He gets balls forward quickly from deep. Long balls. Buying someone like that is going to cement the "style" of football we currently endure, not eradicate it.

Imagine what we'll look like when Koemans players are in: the GK, the two CBs and Schneiderlin in front of them will be belting it downfield and out wide to a couple of Bolassie types. A nightmare for anyone who cherishes the idea of Everton as a school of science football club that our tradition demands.

Dave, 'the school of science' stuff saw us finish 11th.

And Schneiderlin is in no way a long ball merchant. If you think so you've clearly seen nothing of him

We're deffo able to match and better West Brom's no problem mate, but it could easily be a case of we won't pay what Man U are asking, still think we'll sign him though.

No mate, I'd say the same about Wanyama. He's not what we need. And Schneiderlin isn't either. We need a creative player to get close to Lukaku.

Koeman won't want that though. He wants the line of attack down the flanks with long balls out to wingers. No frills, no nonsense, no football.

I'm sorry but schneiderlin isn't just a long ball type player. He is (was) excellent at Southampton at breaking up the opposition attacks through great positional sense. Yes he does get the ball forward quicker but not through the use of long balls, but quick incisive passing.
