Morgan Schneiderlin

[neil999]

We are owned by a billionaire and are scrimping on bids

Would you pay a fiver for a sausage roll?

You called this one ages ago Friend

Ive just had a word on twitter, to welcome him to the club.

 

[BlueToff]

I don't know. If he was flying at another team then obviously you have to pay top money but is he even making the match day squad right now?

no, but neither was Lukaku at Chelsea... under Mourinho. Or Mata, under Mourinho...

He'd be very, very good for us.

 

[ChrisBlue]

Not sure we should be paying over 20m for him like

Ha ha ha.

Jesus wept.

Just because we're owned by a billionaire (who's like the 14th richest owner in the Prem) doesn't mean we should automatically bend over on prices every deal we do.

 

[carolinablue232]

Why would we pay the same price they did when he's 2 years older and clearly not in the form he was when they bought him...because he's not even playing at the moment. Think 19 mil is more than fair at this stage. But also, just get it done.

 

[jinkyali]

I imagine it's rejected as they believe a bidding war is to ensue.
I bet we agree a fee by Wed.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Bascombe is actually alright. Not Hunter/Joyce levels (Joyce's match report earlier referenced that Morgs was the priority btw, so it seems right), but decent.

He ends the article by saying that a second offer is likely to follow. Think this could drag on.

We need players as early as possible to be honest. There is a Gana Gueye shaped hole in our midfield.

Billionaires don't get that rich without being tight.

If I was starving and the alternative option was Gareth Barry... yes.

I wouldn't mind us making a stand personally. Probably down to the fact I've never really seen that much of him.

We probably haven't got that much money to spend, anything we can save is going to help us.

 

[carolinablue232]

Do agree but they bought him before the new tv money & player inflation he would be £40 million if he was moving from Southampton to united tonmorrow

And if he was moving to Monaco he'd probably cost 15 mil. I get it from United. But I don't like it.

Prem premium. Selling to a league rival. Middle of the season.

This is the situation we're in mate.
