Andy_Porter Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 What a load of ********, he's no way near good enough for Arsenal. If he shone out amongst our squad I could understand but he doesn't really. Games seem to drift him by imo, he will be a good player no doubt but not at the Arsenal standard. He's not exactly fufilled his promise here yet, I just can't see it happening. He's had what two good games? Derby and Preston are the only proper good performances i've seen from him although admittedly i've missed a couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 Lallana has had some very good games this season -although would say his form recently has not been as good. KD by a mile player of season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 NOTW page 70 Arsenal plan a January bid for Southampton's French teenage sensation Morgan Schneiderlin. Arsene Wenger has been tracking the midfielder, 19, for years but has been forced into action after Manchester United and Spurs showed interest. Fulham are also ready with an offer of up to £5m in their bid for France's Under-19 skipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 Southampton's French teenager Morgan Schneiderlin is a target for Premiership clubs. Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham are following for former Strasbourg midfielder. Schneiderlin has made a big impact on the South Coast and that has alerted United and Spurs, while Fulham are also thought to be prepared to offer £5million for the France Under-19 captain. The lengthening queue of clubs means Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will have to bring forward his planned move for Schneiderlin, even though a rookie defensive midfielder would not seem to be at the top of an Emirates wanted list.

I was thinking that, I mean I don't really understand the rumour. It's not like he's put himself in the shop window since he joined us. He must have been well known by the scouts before he signed for us and they could have picked him up for a fifth of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 I reckon the whole rumour about the big Prem teams all fighting to get him off us is mainly generated from within the club. The board are just trying to make it seem like we have a very exciting young team in order to generate more interest and boost attendances. In reality, I think MS would struggle to get into most top half CCC teams. There is no way on Earth Fabregas is losing sleep over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 "I have heard about Arsenal’s interest in the press, and that is very exciting to be honest," Schneiderlin told setantasports.com. “But my agent is currently on holiday so I have not had the chance to speak with him, but I will when he returns. I am waiting to know what is going to happen. “Moving there? Yes, No, We will see if something is made to happen. “To be honest I feel good at Southampton, as I learnt a lot in 10 games. I am aware I must improve in some areas of my game, and Arsenal may be the best place to do it, but I can develop as a player at Southampton. “Seeing my name and Arsenal’s in the same phrase makes me happy, as their football is what I like watching. They are one of the clubs that a footballer cannot refuse to join.” Schneiderlin watched Arsenal’s entertaining 2-1 win over Manchester United and reckons it was a great show. “This was a crazy game, as the clashes between them are always magnificent," he enthused. "It was superb, a show, and Arsenal keep the same values. “When I see that I tell myself I must improve my football to reach the top level.” The youngster is happy with his move to Southampton and is settling well in England. “Daily life is great, I am adapting well, my English is better day-by-day and I have made friends,” he said. “I am very happy, this is a different culture and English football is special. “I do not know if I will remain in England during my entire career, because footballers are meant to move, but why not, as The Premier League is the best championship.” http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/11/10/Prem-Schneiderlin-exclusive-on-Arsenal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our board (and their supposed methods of media manipulation and insidious behaviour), you do question anything in the public eye regarding the club in a favourable light and hype about players, especialy in the tabloids and websites. The board offer so little transparency to the fans, we work out what we believe is the truth. It has remnants of the "Paul Allen" affair and numerous other player rumours. Rumours bandied out to the media to get focus on Lowe & Wilde's failing football club - now where could they have come from?! HMMMM????
