[c1982 1,896]

I'd have him - he was excellent under Koeman at Southampton.

[Romey 1878 9,688]

I like this.

[Btay 724]

Good all round midfielder, be happy to have him sit in place of McCarthy

[Matt 5,531]

Finally a rumour to be happy about

[Paddock 2,643]

Yes from me.

[Aidan 1,091]

Makes me think that's what John stones would be like as a midfielder.

[Romey 1878 9,688]

I don't see John Stones as a midfielder in a million years. It's as crazy as the suggestion of Baines playing there IMO.

[Finn balor 978]

Good player. This £100 mill won't go far ha ha

[Matt 5,531]

i always thought those who didn't agree with that were crazy too

[Aidan 1,091]

By no means did I mean I want him to play in midfield just to clarify.

[dlblue 78]

Schneiderlin would be a great buy imo, not sure how much truth to it there is or if its just an easy story for the journalists.

 

Who would he replace? As good as Barry was last season surely he will be used less this term. id like to see McCarthy get another chance this year, had 2 mediocre seasons but Koeman could be the perfect manager to get the best out of him.

[StevO 3,061]

Would love him but can't see it

[Lowensda 3,382]

Would love him but can't see it

 

This.

[Matt 5,531]

£20m in the day and age is a bargain

[markjazzbassist 2,006]

20m hell yes

[Btay 724]

Yes please. Exactly the type of midfielder to protect the back 4 and play a pass.

[msloan78 101]

Rumour seems to be gathering pace. I'd be pretty pleased with this going ahead.

[c1982 1,896]

He's being linked again with a January move - seems pretty clear Jose doesn't rate him although I thought he was injured.

 

I'd have him - he could certainly fill Barry's role long term.

[Aidan 1,091]

He's worked under koeman before so it'd make sense.

I wanted him in the summer, so I'd be very happy if we could get him in January.

[hafnia 5,312]

he's someone I've never really seen nor noticed. Be interested to see what he's all about.

[Matt 5,531]

Often the case with his type of player unless you pay attention to them. He reminds me of a Barry type but bit more creative. For what its worth:

yeah I've always said that about such players - McCarthy, barry, gana - in years gone by carsley, Parkinson...

 

got to actively watch them and I haven't seen him play given that Southampton never really made me switch sky sports on

If Everton weren't playing I would often put a Saints game on because it was nearly always entertaining (though I stopped really watching anyone but us over the last year)

[markjazzbassist 2,006]

Yes please

[scouse 50]

^{ready made replacement for Barry someone we should target Jan for to allow him to bed in to hit the ground running in the new season}

[c1982 1,896]

Agree - January could be very important for this reason. Now money seems to be less of a problem there's no reason that we can't build longer term in this way.

 

He's on the bench tonight.

[Finn balor 978]

Very good player, exactly what we need to take over from Barry long term. Him and Gana would be immense

[Matt 5,531]

[Romey 1878 9,688]

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-transfer-rumours-blues-plan-12171031

Yes. Please.

[sibdane 1,483]

Definite Yes.

[jofanon 211]

More i think about this the more I think its a good idea

 

Not getting a game, probably affordable, Koeman knows hows to play him, ability on the ball and excellence defensive ability.

 

Do it RK

[Palfy 1,198]

Now we're talking long as he doesn't use him as another DM which he did quite a bit at Southampton.

[Paddock 2,643]

Bigyes for me. Experienced premplayer Koeman knows him well.

 

Doubt it'll happen though.

[plaidharper 173]

Would be a good buy but not the first position we need players in but would be ok if we bring in multiple people.

 

Also don't forget Tom Davies.

Really? Id say this was a priority position

[StevO 3,061]

He would be great in midfield with Gana.

[Romey 1878 9,688]

He would be great in midfield with Gana.

 

He'd be a younger, quicker version of Barry, but with more go forward. Got everything crossed we bring him in.

[sibdane 1,483]

I've been a fan of his for awhile now -- It's obvious Barry's legs are going, and he would be the perfect complement to Gana just like StevO said.

 

I love Barry, but a replacement is needed sooner than later.

[SimonButtle 154]

The BBC gossip thing says prior to the game on Sunday we had talks with Man U over Schneiderlin and Depay.

[sibdane 1,483]

Hope you're right.

[Bill 979]

The BBC gossip thing says prior to the game on Sunday we had talks with Man U over Schneiderlin and Depay.

Yeah I saw that, it also said he might be interested in signing Ashley Young ffs.

First priority should be a top class striker, then a top class goalie, that should see us ok till summer, then we can have a good clear out.

[SimonButtle 154]

I can't think why we would be interested in signing Young, Depay and Schneiderlin have also been left out of Man U's euro squad which would suggest they are on the move. I do agree with you on one thing Bill, we have to get a new goalkeeper, we could probably find a better option than Stek playing in the local pub leagues round the city if we looked.

[TOFFEEliscious 4]

Schneiderlin and DePay (along with Darmian) have been left off their Europa League squad which is telling. If Koeman knows him and can use Schneiderlin to his best advantage then it makes even more sense. Would like to see how the long-term look of a putative deal would be, we will need long-term cover in this area with Barry aging and no other stars outside Gana IMO.

 

at least a loan with first rights to buy outright might be best.

[Aidan 1,091]

We've got money now, can we please not still be Uniteds fucking b team it's embarrassing.

[Matt 5,531]

The BBC gossip thing says prior to the game on Sunday we had talks with Man U over Schneiderlin and Depay.

apparently they want £60m for them both.

[Romey 1878 9,688]

Schneiderlin is quality so I couldn't care less who we'd be signing him from.

[SimonButtle 154]

apparently they want £60m for them both.

That seems like a hell of a lot considering both are reserve players as such

[pete0 1,238]

Money back for Schneiderlin would be fair. Today's market has gone up. So would balance, similar to Benteke fees.

 

Depay isn't worth the gamble imo, loan only.

[Aidan 1,091]

Yeah let's overpay for players that haven't been played for how long?

 

Depay not worth a penny over 10, he's not proven over here.

[Guest rusty747]

At the end of the day, if we want these players we will have to pay what many people would say is 'over the odds.'

 

At the end of the season, the league table reflects standings based on points and goal difference - not financial muscle - though there tends to be a close correlation.

 

This opens up the discussion of cause and effect. Are clubs rich because they are successful or are they successful because they are rich?

 

My point is very simple. If we want to play in Europe and consistently be successful we have to buy in the talent to get us kick started. The cost is irrelevant because if we don't do it now we will never be successful.

Arsenal and United are rich because they were successful, Chelsea and Man City are successful because they are rich.

[Guest rusty747]

Arsenal and United are rich because they were successful, Chelsea and Man City are successful because they are rich.

Agreed.

 

And for too long we have been neither.

 

Now we have a bit of cash we need to get it spent imho. Not foolishly of course but we can't send Moshiri's wallet out on the pitch the next time we hear Z Cars being played. We must transfer some of his cash into quality signings. And, to be honest, if we want to attract players like Virgil, we will have to pay more to get them to come to us than Man City or Arsenal etc would have to pay to get him to join them - for painfully obvious reasons.

[markjazzbassist 2,006]

Yes please

[Finn balor 978]

I think attacking players are our priority.... And a goalie........and two defenders.........

[duncanmckenzieismagic 3,993]

Arsenal and United are rich because they were successful, Chelsea and Man City are successful because they are rich.

I would tweek that to say Arsenal and United are even richer than they were before because they were successful

[dlblue 78]

Schneiderlin is a no brainer, he would improve our midfield no end. Him and Gana would be class. He has to be a priority in Jan, a solid Midfield would make such a difference.
