Morgan Schneiderlin

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Fuk it lets get Him and Koke. Ramires and Mikel can go.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

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".

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.

Imo either him or Gonalons will end up in Arsenal in summer. Maybe even Khedira.

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.

The problem is that He will not just sit there and wait for Chelsea´s offer. IMO, If Arsenal bids first, he will accept, as long as Southampton agree a fee.

Also, he might not risk a move to Chelsea one year from the EC(which will be held in his home country). Arsenal really need a player like him, he won't be dropped there for sure. At Chelsea, anything can happen and players might be afraid to join us.

CHELSEA will reportedly offer John Obi Mikel to Southampton as part of a deal to secure the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin.

Arsenal are said to be keen on snapping up the french midfielder in the summer, and so Chelsea may be forced to sweeten the deal.

The Sun claim that Arsenal are currently the front-runners in the race for the 25-year-old's signature

However, a swap-deal with the Blues for Nigerian international John Obi Mikel could be of benefit to Ronald Koeman.

The 27-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2006, has made 329 appearances for the club and has vital Premier League experience.

Plus the defensive midfielder would plug the gap of the departing Schneiderlin perfectly, whilst also freeing-up funds to be spent elsewhere in the squad.

hope this transfer rumour is true so we can finally see the back of mikel

[mikeholiday 209]

Wonder what his value now is with this season ending injury... Think chelsea should stay away now...

[Sosuke Aizen 46]

Mikel+cash for Schniederlin? That's a no-brainer. I wouldn't mind throwing in Cuadrado too.

He is only out for 4 weeks

Is that the case? Knee injuries scare me. Like falcao for example, very different from the dude that scored 3 against us.

Yeah , its minor ,just because the season is almost done, season ending injury is misleading at this point. I wouldn't have any concerns with his fitness .

[nono 791]

We need a marquee player in midfield who can put us on the level of Barcelona, Madrid and Bayern. Schneiderlin isn't going to cut it, and I'll be really disappointed if we get him.

Will be gutted seeing him go to one of our rivals.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

It's Arsenal, United or us.. there was a report from France a month ago that United agreed a fee but nothing since..

[The Mak 4,459]

We have to be in for him as well surely. Schneiderlin should be the absolute minimum level we should add to the midfield, anything below (e.g. Song) and really will be a disappointing transfer window.
