Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 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? Southampton of course.

shurlock Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 (edited) 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. The last sentence doesn't quite read the same as the original. It feels slightly softer without the "tell them", though this is a quibble. Otherwise his position seems pretty clear.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 Here's another take on it, from L'Equipe this time, presumably from the same Clairefontaine interview this morning. . «Pour ma progression et ma visibilité, ce serait mieux de jouer dans un club qui dispute la Ligue des champions, a-t-il reconnu. Je sais qu’il y a beaucoup de spéculations, mais j’ai encore 3 ans de contrat, ça ne dépend pas que de moi. On verra bien dans les semaines à venir». For my progression and visibility (he means noticeabilty there), it would be better if I was playing for a CL club. I know that there is a lot of speculation but I've still got 3 years on my contract, thus it doesn't only depend on me. We'll see in the weeks to come..

If so then it confirms what I thought, new board not interested in progression. It's not whether the new board are interested in progression though is it - if Schneiderlin wants to play Champons League football so much, he's going to have to seek a move regardless of what our board realistically do.

Well, last year it was the speil about getting into the champions league etc, all moving as one club and now it is the fact that he is looking for a club 'playing for a top 5 place'. Also the players now are asking for the board to meet their ambition. Playing devils advocate, I dont think the ambitions there, hence MoPo stalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 You can't really blame him for wanting to go really, should've been in the French squad for the last 2 years at least, incredible player…just the type of player that would suit Arsenal, surprised they haven't tried to buy him sooner to be honest.

Well they have but they don't seem to want to pay the price, or at least they didn't on the 30th of January. Why pay 16 million £ when you can get a crocked old hack from Moscow on a 5 month loan. Arsenal's problem is their salarial mass and Wenger being a bit of a scrooge. Then again KL had said we weren't selling so that would have made her look a bit on the flitty side if they'd knocked the price down a couple of mill just to please the Arse.

Likewise. Perfect fit for them. Defensive midfielder with the pace and power that they need, but with the passing ability they demand. When van man said two or three would leave I immediately thought Morgan would be one of those. The lack of recognition at international level irks him, and just getting on the WC reserve list is not going to be enough. I have to say I think he is also not terribly happy playing alongside Wanyama. Victor eats his space and his possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 Schneiderlin, it all Premiers pas en Bleu pour Schneiderlin. First steps in Blue for Schneiderlin. (Reuters) Axel Capron Published May 19, 2014 at 19:19 Updated May 19, 2014 at 10:03 p.m. New kid on the list of 30, joined Morgan Schneiderlin Clairefontaine Monday for the first day of the gathering of the Blues to the World Cup, obviously little intimidated by the context. If he knows that he will probably not be in Brazil, the midfielder Southampton intends to maximize its few days Blue to take its brands for Euro 2016. We experienced more intimidated! Upon departing Monday for his first press conference in the skin of an international A that is not quite yet, Morgan Schneiderlin has appeared unimpressed by the fact of being for a large quarter of an hour of questions pressed by a curious assistance, which on first impressions, which on its future, that his memories of World Cup ... Just before him give way, Didier Deschamps did not wish to disclose content words of welcome addressed to his arrival at the "Castle" to his youngest, just commenting: "The other eight (arrived Monday, ed) know him, this is the first time it is somebody. a casual enough to him to find his place and eight others to get comfortable. " Obviously, the Southampton midfielder was quickly felt comfortable and he has not sacrificed the ritual rookie in pushing the song to the group (that is planned for dinner Wednesday night when the main body arrives), it seemed like a fish in water when finding a center Clairefontaine he often attended with youth teams. With his Alsatian accent, the applicant, who is among six reservists Didier Deschamps ( Stéphane Ruffier , built in 23, is not), nonetheless recognized that A, it was something else: "The morning when you arrive by taxi and you climb the stairs of the castle, you are in a new dimension, you measure the distance traveled. This is the Holy Grail of football to arrive selection, I am a happy man, because I made a lot of sacrifices to get there. "Did he expect so soon to meet in Blue, who had hitherto never been called or named as a candidate for the" great "team France? "To be totally honest, there are three weeks not. But from the moment I received a pre-call team in France and I found myself in a list, I believed, yes, and I looked at the list carefully.

Sour Mash Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 You would think Schneiderlin would be happy with recent progress. Even if he doesn't make the world cup, who knows how things will pan out after that. Who is infront of him in the squad? Sissoko? Not exactly flush with Champions League appearances.

I have to say I think he is also not terribly happy playing alongside Wanyama. Victor eats his space and his possession. Just watched the whole interview he gave, didn't like how he was talking in the past tense about Southampton and Pochettino. He also said he has heard that there were a lot of rumors about him moving to another club, bit suprised as TBH all I have heard are rumors about Shaw Lallana and Lovren. He also said that he was surrounded by players today who play in the champions league: If I count correctly 8 players were at Clairefontaine today: Evra, Remy, Sissoko, Mangala, Debuchy, Lloris, Sakho and Schneiderlin. Hardly players who play in the Champions League... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajv2809 Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 So many good players we have wanting to play CL football, and a manager wanting to manage in it. Let's just make it easier for everyone and sign 3 or 4 more players wanting CL football and then perhaps we'll get it. Southampton aside it would just be fantastic to see a smaller club keep players and really upset the odds. This. Couldn't agree more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneysaint17 Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Funny how we are miles and miles away from being as good as Liverpool yet they seemingly want the spine of our team. Boruc, Shaw, Skrtel or Agger, Lovren, Clyne, Morgan, Gerrard, Lallana, Sterling or Rodriguez, Sturridge, Suarez. If you give Sterling the benefit of the doubt, theres still 6 Saints players in that team. Okay, an argument could be made for Mignolet and Johnson, but were really not that far off Liverpool. Thats why this Summer could be so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 24 May, 2014 Share Posted 24 May, 2014 Not atall surprised 'Pool would want the spine of our team, our midfield is one of the best in the league and our first defence is solid, the weak spots are GK when Artur is out and the strikers. Keep what we've got, get another decent GK, a top class finisher and a decent CB and we are well in the hunt for a European place. I'm not atall surprised top 4 clubs are very interested in our midfield, it's top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasiak-9- Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Do they have another warm-up friendly? I gather Deschamps gave a few players debuts tonight so Morgan may have to wait for his chance. France looked very good and a lot of their players who seemed very ordinary last season in the Premiership (Sissoko, Debuchy etc.) seemed like they were part of a well-drilled and well-organised team so I can understand if their manager doesn't want to change much. Their opposition tonight was very weak but there did seem to be a good chemistry in the French squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France look like they've got a good, well-established chemistry and that their players all know each other well enough. It isn't the time to chuck new players in and try to fix what isn't broken. I think Morgan's inclusion in the ressies was just to give him the experience of training with the national team and to let him know that he's not completely gone under the radar; and that he will likely get his chance for the 2016 qualifying campaign and that tourney if he does well enough.
