24 million for a fella who was worth 24 million when they bought him and whos since hardly played is stupid ! man utd only a place above us and he cant get anywhere near their team ! with the finiancial fair play involved we need to be more savvy ! if he was on top of his game like when man utd bought him then maybe yeah ! but we shouldnt be buying dead wood at these prices from teams above us ! there must be other up and coming players about ! not many teams can pay that amount in the world that would want him ! so if man utd wanna shift him they have to take it or leave it on what the mosh thinks is a fair price !

In his first season at ManU Schneiderlin played a lot of games, so it's not like he's flopped there. What happened then is that Mourinho came, Pogba was bought and old man Carrick has been much more available and influential than what could be expected from a 35 year old. Sitting on the shelf for half a season means trouble for a footballer, but I have not seen any evidence that Schneiderlin suddenly turned crap over the summer. The manager set his mind on other midfield combinations, and when that manager is known to prefer using a small group of players over a season that means Schneiderlin abruptly found himself on the outside looking in.

I can relate to the feeling of wanting the big club that's hogging up more quality players than they have use for to suffer a bit financially when moving on the surplus like this. But if we need to go up to 24 to beat the competition over his signature, I would have no problem with that.

Depay though, that's a different story. He's bombed emphatically at man united and comes with a substantial risk for whoever buys him next. That transfer fee needs to be substantially smaller than what they bought him for.

I think you have forgotten that prices have nearly doubled since Utd bought him mate.
Sissoko going for £30m, Granit Xhaka around £30m, Gundogan more than £20m, Ibe going for £15m, Joe Allen for £13m: consider those prices, and then look again at Schneiderlin for £22m... he was consistently excellent for Southampton, and we are getting him for a decent price when compared with the market as it stands now.

I get the point, but £24 million today is not the same as £24 million two years ago.

I'm 100% in favor of trying to find players before their value skyrockets, however.
