calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm sorry to bump this but with Van Ginkel possibly going out on loan, the central midfield at Chelsea all of a sudden looks extremely thin. With rumors of Southampton being after a midfielder, I think Schneiderlin would be a perfect signing for Chelsea, especially with him also counting as homegrown.

Soton wants like 30m+ for him...He is complete CM though, most tackles and interceptions in PL for past two years, great passing and vision, extremely hardworking with sublime technique (remember that vs yaya) and scores ocasional goals. If we needed a starting CM, I would gladly pay whatever saints demand for him, but since he would sit here, at least in begining, 30m would be bit too much. Homegrown is also big big plus for him, realy underrated player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 209 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Was really impressed. I dont watch many soton games, but i think he's a solid midfield destroyer. would want him at the right price giving cesc and matic more freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Zero chance they sell him for £30m-£40m, someone will get him for 20-25 and it will be a steal, midfield dynamo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Why would he want to come here and sit on the bench half of the time..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If we want a starter to play in midfield alongside Cesc & Matic, Morgan isn't the guy. He does what Matic does and we don't need another Matic on the field. Broken record, but we need a player like Pogba. Less Makelele, more Viera.

Pizy 18,941 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Literally all of our rivals can do with him and he'll almost certainly end up at one of them. My guess is Arsenal. He's going to be a great addition to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapkun 668 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He walked over our midfield yesterday. Definitely one of the best midfielders in the league. If I had to guess I think he will end up at Arsenal, terrific signing for them if it happens. Him or Kondogbia could have been good signings for chelsea before we went after Matic and Fabregas.

iseah100 5,612 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Why not buy him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Why not buy him?Because he is too expensive for bench (plus wont want to sit on bench either). On the other hand, too similar to Matic to play next to him. Not enough mobility, creativity and link up from midfield if both would play at same time.However, if Mourinho intends to play this way (close down, bus parking after scoring leading goal), we may as well play with 4 defensive midfielders. Maybe then, we will be able to keep the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Absoluty kicks ass, but I feel he would be too expensive considering other positions we need to reinforce.Will sign for Arsenal, he has that Arsenal typical face and feel xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I believe the rumours are true and indeed Chelsea is interested in bringing him here, but only if Jose misses on his main targets. I think the plan is to flog Oscar for something like 35-40m and then reinvest the money into someone like Pogba or Koke. If Chelsea can't struck a deal for one of these two then Jose will probably reconsider his options, sign Schneiderlin for 20-25m, pair him with Matic, move Cesc further up the pitch and then move on to his next targets such as a new centre back and maybe a right winger.

didierforever 7,349 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 nope. not the player we should be going for. koke/pogba - that should be our target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Fuk it lets get Him and Koke. Ramires and Mikel can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 wtf ? I know that team needs stars as well as functional players but we lack the former not the latter ! Oscar and Willian are enough of dire players offensively. Add to that Fabregas who's as easily nullified as you like against strong opponent and we again are left only with Hazard who can actually do something.Money is there to go there and buy quality starter players. Next 3 acquired players - 3 very quality ones. Improvement with big "I". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 French newspaper L'Equipe on Thursday confirm Chelsea interest in buying Morgan Schneiderlin during the summer transfer window and the Premier League club's moves in the direction to do so. L'Equipe confirm earlier reports from the British media about Chelsea interest in the player and, like those British reports, state that Chelsea have been watching the Southampton midfielder. Whilst L'Equipe have their moments, they're not quite as keen on gossip as many in the British media and can therefore seem more reliable. The newspaper have also spoken to Schneiderlin repeatedly about his future and he's always sounded quite keen on moving to another club - his honesty a cause of frustration for Southampton fans used to seeing their best players leave the club.It's Arsenal who have been most linked with a move for the midfielder and there were claims in the British press a while ago that L'Equipe said an agreement had been made between Arsene Wenger's club and Southampton. L'Equipe didn't claim such a thing but the reports continued in some of Britain's biggest newspapers.Each time the interest of a club is firmed up in France the price seems to go up a little, currently standing at €30m, and extra interest from Chelsea would certainly be useful for Southampton who will feel they have a duty to get the biggest fee possible for the player.http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/confirmation-from-france-of-chelsea-move-for-star-will-shake-riva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Imo either him or Gonalons will end up in Arsenal in summer. Maybe even Khedira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
