StevO Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 United, under Jose, don't play a formation that suits his strengths. I think we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm hoping that the delay in signing him is we are working out a double deal for Memphis as well. I believe it will be sorted out soon. After today's performance the lack of quality options is plain for all to see. I doubt Walsh and Moshiri will be dragging their heels.

Newty82 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I keep thinking .... If this fella is as good as everybody says he is, why the fook did they spend a king's ransom on Pogba. I'm a bit wary of this one, so I won't be here with my tongue hanging out, until I actually see him playing. (If we do get him) Completely different players that offer completely different values to a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The clips look good, but I have to ask: Why is he never played by a team just one place above us in the league? Poor poor poor way of looking at it. I expect more from a man of your stature (!!!). markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy_Talk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hopefully the recent games are why this hasn't been sewn up yet, and that transfer payment structure + terms are already being negotiated. Need able midfield bodies, and a French international (MF) will be our first since Dacourt. (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 United, under Jose, don't play a formation that suits his strengths. I think we do. Say more about this point, please. Serious request, as I hope we get him, and hope he makes us better this season and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 We play with two central midfielders who need to be able to tackle and pass. Schneiderlin would be ideal next to Gana in our midfield. United seem to play with Carrick holding back, Pogba covering the left side and another covering to the right. Schneiderlin would probably have to take Carrick place but they still rate him highly.

Paddock Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Why do we take so long to do anything?? There is no excuse for the hold up here, all parties want it to happen. Just pay the fucking money Everton and sign him. Pisses me off it really does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been surplus to requirements since the summer, we should have had it all sown up during the first part of the season and had it ready to be announced as soon as the window opened.

Schneiderlin would probably have to take Carrick place but they still rate him highly. Carrick is their distributor, is usually the easy option for the CB's to find and when under pressure has the calmness and build to drop back and win headers/pick up the AM runner/move the won back ball out quickly either to the break runner or the empty wing. His quite excellent passing is the key to his game, means he isn't busting a gut game in game out which keeps games in his legs instead of having games worked out of him. If we get Schneiderlin, and partner him up with Gueye, we'll need another worker bee to operate on whichever flank opposite to where we have our winger, unless we are going to play two wingers and drop Barkley. Nice options to have, to vary play and tactics, we are on the cusp of significant change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, absolutely spot on. But as per usual a 2-3 week haggle will commence which will either see someone nick him off us or him miss a months worth of games where he could be settled in and helping the team. Moshiri money or not, fuck all changes when it comes to us and transfers. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant we play two wingers and Barkley? Like we have done for about four years now. Most of the season so far we have played Gana and Barry in midfield, Barkley in front and two wingers. Schneiderlin can just replace Barry. Job done. Romey 1878, markjazzbassist and dlblue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Heard that the he had his medical on Friday and we are haggling over 2 million on the Memphis deal, may be lob but though I would put it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I really really hope we don't sign Memphis Depay. Anyway, it's always better to negotiate separately and not as a double deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Anyone be surprised if that was true? So we look a bit big time bringing in two players for the best part of £50m in one go? Edited January 9, 2017 by StevO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't think we will tbh Steve, I think this will be one then maybe one more from overseas and at a push another on loan and that will be us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Who knows what happening? We have to rely on good old rumours because our club likes to do things do secretly. Which is good...but a bit annoying at times like this! Anyway, I hope we ain't haggling over a couple of mill. United want the full £24mill that they paid for him. In today's market, and in January especially, he's worth it. I reckon the sticking point will be more to do with paying structures or monies left to pay from previous transfers.

markjazzbassist Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Koeman will not settle for 1 or 2 signings, I believe there will be more than that. yeah I think Schneiderlin, possibly Depay or another Winger, and I'd think someone else who can play all across the front be it winger, striker, acm.

EFC-Paul Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Koeman will not settle for 1 or 2 signings, I believe there will be more than that. I'm sure he had a similar view in last window but by the looks of it it's out of his hands If the rumours of Kone now going (please) are true then I can see more coming in but only if we offload one or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window there will be more of an idea of who needs replacing and some targets identified, but its harder to get them. However I still think Moshiri, Koeman, and Walsh will not be messing around. We will just have wait for the end of the window and then judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) The way January went I'd be happy with just lookman and Morgan.

Previously I would agree with you, but with Moshiri, Koeman and Walsh we have a different mindset now. Look at the progress towards the stadium. Its too early to judge but I hope (prey) that we will have a successful window and bring in 4 or 5 players. scouse and holystove 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I don't think we've ballsed up that many in recent years have we Aiden? Or am I just being forgetful? There's only Sissoko that I can think of. Can't think of many that have real substance to them. Granted we don't rush though.
