Matthew Le God Posted 25 July, 2014 Share Posted 25 July, 2014 Southampton will signal their determination to hold on to Morgan Schneiderlin by telling his suitors, who are headed by Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, that he would cost them in excess of the £27m that Manchester United paid to sign Luke Shaw. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/25/southampton-morgan-schneiderlin-tottenham?CMP=twt_gu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "you will not get this player for less than £XXm" is very reminiscent of the recent past. Why can't the club just say "he's not for sale" ? End of story.

Professor Posted 25 July, 2014 Share Posted 25 July, 2014 Whilst it is conceivable that there could be an offer that was just to big to refuse, that doesn't mean you should announce that to the world. Many other clubs do just what Badger has said that our management should do - just say "not for sale and don't bother coming back with a higher bid because the answer will be the same". If you suggest at what figure you would deal you simply encourage the other parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 25 July, 2014 Share Posted 25 July, 2014 Yet still sold that player...... That is a fair response, and most understand that Al LS RL and now Lovren left for bigger wages and potential medals, but what is fair to expect in return the club to be prepared and ready to replace the outgoings. I was under the impression that the club had a transfer committee ( up til the end of last season ) we all knew we needed replacements, then why did we not have a list ready to put under RK nose and say which ones do you want us to go for. Or have the club changed the committee idea to RK makes the choices? Players leave but you must agree or be surprised at the lack of incoming players.

Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Share Posted 25 July, 2014 To bes honest I don't think we have a leg to stand on if he says he wants to explore his opportunities with either Arsenal or Spurs. He must look at some of the other sales and know he is a better player than a few of them and really should be looking to move on IMO. A great four or five years at Saints but its the end of that ers and for his career he needs to push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints foreva Posted 25 July, 2014 Share Posted 25 July, 2014 He's going to leave and it's going to be gutting to see him play for another team. The board aren't going to say no to him, they proved this with Lallana and Lovren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the club ran a transfer committee and not one chosen by the manager. Perhaps a change of policy. The original idea for it was that when a manager left you had continuity of thought not a start again scenario. That of course was under.

buctootim Posted 26 July, 2014 Share Posted 26 July, 2014 (edited) Not less than £27m apparently.... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/25/southampton-morgan-schneiderlin-tottenham Also "Koeman intends to press on with his incoming business and he is close to a deal for the Celtic centre-half Virgil van Dijk while he has an interest in the Aston Villa centre-half Ron Vlaar. There is the acceptance at the club that Koeman needs a goalkeeper, one or most likely two centre-backs, a striker, as Dani Osvaldo is available for transfer and, probably, another wide midfielder. The forward, Jay Rodriguez, has returned to light training after the cruciate knee ligament injury that he suffered last April and which ruled him out of England’s World Cup squad. Rodriguez hopes to play again in October. Edited 26 July, 2014 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 11 November, 2014 Share Posted 11 November, 2014 This will be his last season as a saints player IMO so just enjoy it. It will be a shame to see him go but I doubt the club can afford to let his contract run down (and I doubt he will sign a new one TBH) so sell him for big money next summer with his stock high. No doubt the club have already identified his replacement(s). Plus once Morgan has gone to Arsenal the saints curse will strike and he will be unable to make a simple 5 yard pass.

Thought this since the summer. He'll be gone I reckon. I'll be gutted, he's long been my favourite player and is our best player by some distance IMO. Can't be too mad at him, he wouldn't look out of place in any squad out there I'd say. He's put in a solid shift here.
