stevegrant Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 French journalist Julien Laurens seems to think he'll be in the 23, which I must say I'm surprised by. The impression I had was that Deschamps wasn't in the slightest bit interested in him, but apparently he's watched him quite a bit this season.

That will be a real surprise, I'm not even sure that he'll make the 30. DD is such a complex entity. I have no idea whether we're going 23+7 or 30 to start with though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserves to have an automatic place Congratulations Morgan Well that will only be if one of the 23 has to drop out, however he does get to go to the first training camp (from about Monday until 28th May) and that's a significant step forward for him from completely being ignored despite some fine performances over 2 seasons. Still there a couple of fragile marys in the 23 so it's possible he could just get a reprieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Has Deschamps just named a list of 30 which will then be whittled down or has he cut straight to the chase and named the 23+7.

RAF Saint Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Gutted for him: France Didier Deschamps finally unveils those 23 names we have been waiting for. Goalkeepers: Lloris, Landreau, Mandanda. Defenders: Debuchy, Sagna, Koscielny, Sakho, Varane, Mangala, Digne, Evra. Midfielders: Cabaye, Grenier, Matuidi, Mavuba, Pogba, M. Sissoko, Valbuena Forwards: Benzema, Giroud, Griezmann, Rémy, Ribéry The reserve list includes Southampton's Schneiderlin, Remy Cabella, Gonalons, Lacazette, Perrin, Ruffier and Tremoulinas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Hodgson's way was very much the exception? Guess I'm missing something. He was nattering about it just now on the main French News, and he was categoric that it's 23 firm choices plus 7 reserves, not a pot of 30 to select from. The seven will be training until 28th May, and will only replace drop-outs — Morgan won't be able to play his way in, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Because France have the likes of Yoann Cabaye and Paul Pogba to play in the same position. He plays for saints which means he is the best player in the world in his position, up until he get linked with a move to a bigger club, then there is no point him joining them as he'll just be a squad player. Anyway, well deserved, good player and not before time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 14 May, 2014 Share Posted 14 May, 2014 Excellent news, really pleased for Schneiderlin to have recognition at international level at last, would be great if a twist of luck he was able to be promoted to the 23 and get over to Brazil. Talking to a couple of lads at work in London (Italian & German) both watch loads of football on tv , its definitely noticable how well known our players are now and how often the name of Southampton FC is mentioned in foreign press, Ralph Kruger said he wanted to increase our commercial operations and surely this World Cup is a golden opportunity to do this. Players involved with Japan, Uruguay, Croatia, France, news of Osvaldo missing out with Italy, all our England boys, theres never been a better opportunity to attract global interest plus players like Boruc being a big name in Poland. If this World Cup can create a feelgood factor like Italia 90 or Euro 96 the clubs marketing department should be ready to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 (edited) He has joined the French training camp today and is doing a press conference with DD at the moment. Hmmm honest but always correct as per usual. Schneiderlin : «Je sais qu'il y a beaucoup de spéculations autour de mon transfert. J'ai encore trois ans de contrat, mais mon avenir ne dépend pas de moi. Il faut qu'un club tombe d'accord avec Southampton, qui a une situation financière stable. Quand je regarde autour de moi, je ne vois que des joueurs qui jouent la C1, c'est un rêve, c'est la prochaine étape. Mon objectif, ce serait bien de jouer dans un club qui dispute le top 5. Pour la visibilité, c'est mieux aussi, mais par respect pour Southampton, je ne préfère pas dire que j'ai envie de partir. » I know that there is a lot of speculation about my transfer, I've still got 3 years left on my contract but my future isn't in my hands. It needs a club to reach an agreement with Southampton who have a stable financial situation.When I look around me I only see players who are playing in the CL, it's a dream, it's the next step. My aim is certainly to play for a club who are playing for a place in the Top 5, it's better for being noticed as well, but out of respect for Southampton I prefer not to tell them that I want to leave.

He wants to play in the CL if possible and certain for a Top 5 PL club, he's made no secret of it all year, he gives a lot of interviews to the French Press...even to the Echo. Few other of our players do that, he must have a relatively limited freedom of expression clause. He wanted to go top 5 with Saints, it hasn't happened yet and like others he's afraid that it may well not ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the translation. Out of curiosity, is he referring to Southampton as having 'a stable financial situation' or is he seeking a club that has one?
