Schneiderlin yay, silly graphs nay.

Poor fucker. He's already seen 3 of his star players go. Can you blame him...

Wenger smiled for more than 0.7 sec and took the bottle with his right hand, means it's definitely happening

been watch a few videos on him lately, think he is exactly what we need. Has a good balance of defensive awareness & technical ability. Get him in.

The article ranks high on the bullshit-o-meter though with the claim that Wenger has ordered scouts to keep tabs on him during the WC. Like he is an unknown quantity and not young, French, and playing in the PL.

Best DM last season. Tet's aging. We need him.

my realistic wishlist for CM would be schneiderlin or william carvalho. we need to get back to technique+pace+power.

we ain't gonna get javi martinez or arturo vidal, though they would be perfect.

Why is it the next logical step?
Settling is what it is.
Damn you greedy ass Khedira.

Schneiderlin seems like a better fit so I hope this happens. Dean has been hinting at it for weeks.

If Khedira is our first choice and Schneiderlin is our second, is it not logical to go for Schneiderlin if the Khedira move falls through?

No.
Khedira would have brought a certain aura, presence, dynamism and quality that Schneiderlin just does not have. For me the more logical step would to have been to cast our net a bit further in our search for a player of similar stature.
I could be way off but for me Schneiderlin is a conservative signing of the kind that won't push us as far as we need to get to win the league.

This is the one. Been saying from the get go.

You're right in that Khedira would bring an aura and physical presence of an established top class player, but still not convinced he's the right fit in terms of how he'd form a partnership with Ramsey and others. Sometimes big names is not as important as having the right fit. E.g. Kos and Mertesacker. I can understand the fuss over Schneiderlin and I think it'd make sense. But not sure Wenger will value him as highly as Southampton will. I guess they'll be looking for a Lallana fee, £25m.

And who could this mystery player be?

Started following spurs on Twitter apparently

Yh he has. Onto the next one..


Excellent passer, good technique, tackling, quick and good awareness. Would be a perfect fit next to Ramsey in our line-up I reckon.

If I am right in that Khedira pays next to no tax in Spain, then he will actually need a significant bump in salary just to make the same money net as he is now. Not my definition of greed, but to each his own.

Big fan of Schneiderlin. As others have said, think he'd be a great fit. Very classy player who looks ready for the next step in his career.

Agree with that, but I would prefer Khedira every day of the week even if we had to push the boat out a bit to land him.

😆

I cant wait for everyone to call him shit come November when he's stinking it up at Shite Hart Lane. Everyone who are calling him "the best option ever" right now that is.

unfollowed, probably got twitter raped or something 😆

Would be amazing banter if he signed for us now.

We're probably just letting Spurs test the waters and then we'll swoop in when a figure is set. 😉

Followed and then unfollowed #bantz

Wish he'd follow all the rivals to rile up our mental online fan base.

Be annoying if he joins Spurs. Himself and Eirksson is 2/3 of a very good midfield.
