Schneiderlin's choice Spurs or United

1 min read
Morgan Schneiderlin has a choice, Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur, both are heavily after him.



Spurs are making further efforts to sign him, Daniel Levy is backing Mauricio Pochettino so now it boils down to whom he prefers to play for, does he want to team up with Pochettino again or is Old Trafford to big a pull.

Of course the choice may be taken out of his hands, Manchester United are after 30-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and if they get him won't be needing 25-year-old (26 in November) Morgan Schneiderlin.

From what I understand Daniel Levy is prepared to stump up the £24 million transfer fee demanded by Southampton, as are Louis van Gaal's side, Arsenal however are not. Adrien Rabiot has told PSG he wants to leave and he is another we have been after as an alternative. They both play in that box-to-box role, the one currently filled by Ryan Mason, Mousa Dembélé and Paulinho in the squad.

  1. Won't be playing champions league football With Spurs though will he, and looking at the squad it won't be happening next season either
    • There's no guarantee Utd will have Cleared for more than one season though is there? After they fluked their way to top four last season.
    • *Cl not cleared
  2. I think Schniederlin is exactly what spurs are missing. Much has been made about the defence this season but in my opinion most of the defensive frailty comes from the inexperience of Bentaleb and Mason. Schniederlin would be the perfect partner for both.
    If you look at the spine of tottenhams team this season, only Lloris and Vertonghen have any real experience. Dier, Bentaleb and Mason, although very promising, are all very inexperienced. Eriksen hasnt settled in the number 10 role and despite being awesome Harry Kane is also inexperienced.
    However the real problem Ive seen is between Dier, Bentaleb and Mason, where some situations turn into pandemonium.
    Schniederlin is the perfect player to come in and help these grow while solidifying the defence and playing much nicer football.
    If we can get schniederlin we must.
  3. The problem is we have a squad stocked with very little quality and masses of inexperience, we are bobbing along doing nothing as per usuall, why would any decent players want to come to Spurs? We have no ambition, we dont win trophies, we amble about in europes 2nd tier competition, and make out finishing 5/6th is a massive success .
  4. Fazio is an ecperienced footballer, Vertonghen, Kyle Walker even, Rose is not inexperienced, Chadli, Eriksen etc have had 2 years in the PL, Ade, Kaboul, Vorm, Lloris has bags of experience. When exactly does a player stop being inexperienced? We finished 5th, we haven't done much better with an experienced team in recent season.
  5. Andre Ayew wanted Champions League, does he have it? What a player says is irrelevant half the time. When he knows we are not going to pay the money to get him saying I want CL is easy and tells Southampton I want to lave, now things have changed so I place no store by that at all.
