I'm with Finners here.

Number doesn't bother me at all.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist regarding numbers tbf. No 2 isn't a number for a DM/CM imo. Should belong to a right back. That said, I'd rather have Schneiderlin playing with no 2 on his shirt than not having him at all.

...as I saw it yesterday he sat in and covered as we pushed for a winner. Nothing for the cameras, no wow factor but important that he did it. I'm sure he will start a game soon.

You can tell he has a real quality about him though.
He glides into positions and is ready to shackle a player before they know it.
He is comfortable on the ball.

Real high quality signing.

people need to realise he's not been brought in to score goals or create goals so he won't be grabbing the headlines any time soon.
His job on the pitch is to shield the defence, win and keep possession, keep the momentum going and play the ball to our more attacking players, imo he's doing his job well if he's not being noticed

I had it done in the States 10 years ago and it was 2800 pounds. Pricey, but also priceless.

Prior to having input done I could not even read the massive letter at the top of the eye chart, was close to legally blind (was nearsighted with a severe astigmatism).

Was actually 20/15 after having it done. Ten years on my eyesight is no longer perfect but am still close to 20/20. Being able to just wake up and see is something I never thought I would experience.

Dead serious (outside the cost to have my children delivered) it is by far the best money I ever spent.

Cheers mate.

Not conceded a goal in the time he has been on the pitch and 100% winning record

he's a Carsley type of player in that he's most noticeable when he isn't there coz bad things happen

No doubt Gana was the player of the season up until his departure and Davies isn't the only factor in the upturn in fortune but his energy and ability to to turn defence into attack has been a major influence in the turn around.

We know Davies is a much better finisher than Gana as far as chipping in goals

(Prob wrong thread)

Hasn't done a great deal so far. Needs to show what he's made of before Gana comes back or it could be quite embarrassing for him being a new big money signing and getting kept on the bench by an 18 year old.

What are you expecting from him? He did a quiet and efficient job yesterday. Played behind the ball protecting the defence and used as an outlet for the forward players. Kept things ticking and was always available....always. Good job done.

When he adjusts to the flow of everything he is going to be a force in the midfield alongside Gueye, Davies, Barkley, Barry, whoever. I look forward to seeing our team dominate the midfield and start to control games

To them you can add McCarthy and Besic. We certainly won't be short of holding midfield players.

That is if McCarthy stays and if Besic can stay healthy

This is the reason Jose wanted Fellini not him, but thats ok, a player dosent have to offer a goal threat to be a important player in the team.

Just read that Schneiderlin made more interceptions in 29 minutes than all bar one on the pitch in 90 mins!

He is brilliantly effective without making a single highlight.

The complete opposite of a winger we have just jibbed off to AC Milan. One or 2 superb highlights and sod all else.

Bingo, he'll become a player for us we won't tend to realise how important techs until he misses a game in the future.
