Twat. Gone off him now.

Then again maybe they've sold him to Spurs. I'd be pretty pissed off if someone did that to me.

What is he on about?

Maybe he's forcing a move

I'll choose to believe he wants to move to Arsenal, Spurs are offering more so Saints are forcing him there, cue Morgan's madness

It looks obvious, to me at least, that Southampton have told him today that they won't let him move. Probably even gone back on their word, amount of flak they have got since the Chambers sale it would hardly be a surprise.

Southampton have made an official statement that he is not to be allowed to move. Nor is Jay Rodriguez.

Schneiderlin, valued at an improbable £27m, and the currently injured Jay Rodriguez are wanted by their former manager Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs, but the chairman Ralph Krueger has apparently called a halt to any more outgoings, saying: “They are part of the core that we have decided to keep at Southampton.”

He added: “Jay Rodriguez and Morgan Schneiderlin are not for sale and they will be a part of our club as we enter the new season.”

That statement actually came out before that weird tweet by Schneiderlin BW. Still a very vague message from the guy. Very strange indeed.

Anyone who uses the term "journey" to describe their working life ... :hmm:

This notion of clubs "going back on their word" is a load of bollox. You signed a big fat contract, shut up and do your job.

I'm not even sure what he's referring to with that tweet. That he'll be unveiled somewhere else in one hour? Or is it a dig at Southampton? Why the one hour thing? Has there been a press conference?

He was supposed to have a meeting with the board today

Maybe their version of Peter Hill-Wood told him to stick his morgan up his schneiderlin when he demanded a move.

Ha! Suspect character, just as I suspected.

What's "suspect" about him? And what's so strange about him wanting to leave?

All his mates have been sold, his manager has left, the club is all in disarray.

It's natural he wants to move on if he gets the opportunity as well.

As opposed to Sami "if your wage structure isn't busted, I'm not signing" Khedira …

Nothing wrong with the way he feels, but going public about it? Was that necessary?

He ought to be talking to his agent not the club—by the looks of things the main problem is he was too slow in the game of musical chairs. Lovren, Chambers, Lallana, Shaw and Lambert all got a seat.

Probably not. But then again that was probably him expressing his disappointment in an emotional, in the heat of the moment reaction.

good point.

Looking at each player sale individually, Southampton have got slightly over the odds for each player. I.e. Lallana might be worth less than £25m, Chambers less than £12m etc. Have they actually turned down a £25m bid for Schneiderlin or have Tottenham offered less?

Either way they need to bring in 3-4 UEFA cup standard players to have a chance of staying competitive.
