Morgan Schneiderlin

[BlueToff]

Barkley dropped back to cm would have given us that, both now and when RM was here.

No he wouldn't. He can't defend.

 

[Mrtallywacker]

Crap manager who got relegated and got us nowhere near our best points total in the 80s who is now Belgian boss.

All about ones perspective my son.

 

[BlueToff]

Koeman was a great player. He is not a great manager. He's ben managing for 17 years and has done nothing other than a couple of Dutch SPL titles.

Won the copa del rey and Portuguese cup.

But okay.

...3 points I think, Dave. The 2nd half of last season was woeful though. I've not liked how we've played all season but I think you have to give the manager the opportunity to bring his own players in to play the way he wants. Only then can we fairly judge him.

He could be getting the best out of what he has, hoofball or not. I'm not defending him, I'm not criticising him, I think it's unfair to judge at this time. I still think we are better than last season, though.

I've judged already, that's true. But I dont campaign for his removal. He needs more time to show he can do better. He has it in his hands.

Gareth Barry being in the team is losing us games. This signing is THE priority.

...agree, he's rebuilding and it's not judgement time yet.

Lol.

Logs out.

Maybe, but my point all along is not to oppose Schneiderlin per se but to state that we need better players elsewhere as a priority.

FWIW I'd buy Sigurdsson and no one else for this January. The feller is a match winner.

We are crying out for a central player of actual quality, which Schneiderlin is.

I like Sigurdsson but he'd signal the end of Barkley and that's a bridge I am not willing to cross right now.

The player who would really assure that is Schneiderlin. He bypasses midfield and goes long and wide. I said yesterday: buy Schneiderlin and sell Barkley because the two are like Kryptonite for each other.

 

[Wizard]

Aye, no doubt but he'll pick up a few suspensions along the way. Can't be relying on Barry, Gibson, Besic, McCarthy and Cleverley to step into that role. We need actual quality, which is what Schneiderlin is.

I agree completely on that.

The site is being infested now, a shame because 98% of posters genuinely have interesting thoughts and show willing too engage in a discussion. People are going to be driven away from the site if they just keep going into threads and seeing the same inane drivel and deliberate provocation.

I suppose we'll have to see Dave.

Schneiderlin is a fine player moving forward with the ball. I think he'd flourish alongside Barkley and Davies while Gana is away at the AFCON, giving Koeman some food for thought.
