Morgan Schneiderlin

It wouldn't. We can get younger and better for £20M+. No question. If that's all Walsh and Koeman are doing to deepen the quality of our squad then they are incompetent and wasting money.
Who tho? You're probably looking abroad for a centre mid for 20mil better than Schneiderlin

Transfers are complicated as we saw last summer, our board struggle to get deals over the line, so we'd struggle to get a midfielder from abroad in time to replace Gueye, if we got it done at all.

This will be a relatively simple deal to get done; club we've worked with loads down the years, manager who's worked with the players agent before, player wants it, we want it, United want it.

We can't be making gambles right now, this deal is perfect

He doesnt want a CM, he wants an ACM.
 

I don't see signing players who are not exceptional and in their late 20s for cash like that as a wise move. In fact I'm pretty sure you felt that way about Bolassie.

Since when is 27 defined as late twenties?

We overpaid on bolasie, never said we didn't, but that's because he's an erratic player short of top class mate, scheiderlin until the United move was one of not the best in his position in the league, and even his 'terrible' last season at United he played very well and notably the teams results when he did play was considerably better than any other United players record.

There's a reason everyone of the top teams where sniffing round him mate.
 
Oh, so it's a once only trick and the rest of the time we have to spend cash like a drunken sailor on utter mince?

22m or so for scheiderlin would represent an absolute bargain. 29m spent by the club to have a centre midfield as good as any in the league and both with 4-5 years of there prime left is among the best business any club will have done for years.
 

Mate, take a look at Schneiderlin game. He punts out wide to runners who've git in their bikes for an early pass. Nothing much comes through the middle. That will marginalise Lukaku, not to mention Barkley. If the goal is to get rid of both and sell them then this is the right way to go about it.
To be fair my example was meant to be more general than specific. I was trying to illustrate why continually buying potential is a gamble. If we are finally serious about challenging at the top end we need to build a team of proven rather than potential talent. There is still room for studied gambles such as Lookman, but the majority of players should be able to do the job required of them immediately.
