Would be a good early signing.
Morgan Schneiderlin (seems he's signed for United....)
Meh
would be a good buy to improve us domestically, but not so much in europe imo. with coq's emergence i'd prefer it if we went for a midfielder with a more progressive passing game. our build up from the back is still too flabby for my liking.
I see the same old routine of over-rating players on the basis of 5 months of good football is prevalent everywhere.
Wasn't it a month ago that Giroud's upgrade was confined to Aguero.
Schneiderlin is one of the better passing DM's anyway.
Stone Cold Gunner89 laying the smack down.
Don't rate Schneiderlin that highly. Is a good player, but not so much better than Coquelin to spend £20m+ on him.

Yeah he's not just been Sotons best midfield defensively he genuinely runs their tempo. I think he is somewhere in between Coq and late career Arteta. He's a well balanced mid IMO. He'd be a good partner for Ramsey or for Coquelin depending on what you want. Shame he's not taller though.
He wants a CL team in England. I could see that changing but lets say he sticks to that then it could be anyone bar Chelsea I reckon. He'd improve all of us, City and United.

After 3 months of decent football he's not much better than Coquelin like Giroud is close to Aguero after three months of football.
Maybe we shouldn't spend any money. Ospina's had 2 good months too.
It's the same people who will be complaining when Coquelin loses form or gets injured for an extended period or people realise that Cazorla is not the go-to man to be put in a deep midfield role when we play teams who press a lot.
Good player, but I hope we aim a lot higher this summer. Schneiderlin will improve the team, but not enough to significantly close the gap between us and Chelsea (and definitely not the top 4-5 clubs in Europe).

I think he might even end up at Chelsea. He's a typical 'boring but effective' Mourinho player that's available for a reasonable amount and knows the League. Also applies in our case, just don't think Wenger will pay the money now that Coquelin has shown his quality.
Yeah, Chelsea seems a good fit with Ramires/Mikel on the outs.
Exactly, meh!
Schneiderlin will always be my first choice for this summer's CM transfer unless theres someone significantly better available. (Along the lines of Martinez, Pogba, Vidal)
I just do not understand, so he can join Chelsea, who have matic, Ramires et al plus young guys like Loftus-Cheek, and we who only have Coquelin (who just came on the scene in the last few months), can't buy him?
If Wenger has this same logic I will furious.
QS is right, Schneiderlin's passing is actually extremely good, I fact I would say he is a more consistent passer than Ramsey, and more range than arteta. It like no remember the way Southampton's midfield have handled us over the last couple of seasons.
He would be a superb buy

I think that is my feeling about him as well. No doubts about the player but I think we need something different.
Schneiderlin also has the added bonus of being a homegrown player.
He's a very sensible signing

I agree.
He's right kind of player, hopefully he's good enough and we sign him.
The other thing is that if you want to bring in 2 or 3 new players to the first team it helps if they have PL experience. Wenger seems to like PL players now but usually signs them at a much lower level (Debuchy, Welbeck) or young guys who need time (Chambers).
