What I find strange about Southamptons decision to single out Schneiderlin, is that they are making life difficult for one of their most loyal players. He's been with them through several promotions and now he has the chance for a bigger move. I understand his outrage, especially since the club's long term plans seem to have changed drastically when Cortese left.

Exactly. Why they're being choads to this guy over any of the others, especially Lovren, makes absolutely no sense. Very unfair of them to permit so many to depart, and then close the gate right as one of their most loyal players for years was on the verge of leaving. I do wish he wouldn't have done the tweet, but I do feel his anger is certainly justified.

I think it's the 'spursy' effect....
:gomes:
He seems like a guy who has done things the "right" way, worked hard and so on, and now he's being hindered because of club politics.
Agreed. I think their club simply doesn't like the idea of being tapped up by us for for their coach and now players, while they can write off having sold the rest of their players to CL-competing clubs. Pretty shitty if you ask me, because the one player who's played for them for quite some time and isn't chasing the big lights/money, but rather a coach he admires and better prospects of getting into the French national fold, is the one getting fucked. It's particularly stupid when even their own fans see through the facade.
We'll see where it goes from here, clever of him to buckle down. Does his public dignity well, regardless of the circumstances.
I guess he's bitter about not getting the lead part in the chorus line?He looks a bit unhappy/detached in front!

probably 'cos they made him carry his own bag... #punishment??
To be fair, they need him a lot more than we do..because we actually dont need him at all.
Hopefully Poch has seen enough from Capoue, Dembele and Sandro now to stop this nonsense.
Striker and we're done.
I haven't seen a good explanation or reason, other that his existing relationship with Poch - so can someone please tell what is it about Schneiderlin that will vastly improve Spurs, and put us over the top (versus the players already in the squad?) Seems everyone gets all worked up and frothing at the mouth over signing a new player... simply because he is a new player!
Amen.
People will post loooooooooong articles about how he will offer something different and better than Sandro, Capoue, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Holtby and Dembele combined....because thats what we have right now.
Any two of those, or three even, yet apparently Schniderlin will improve any and every one of those combinations.
But my question would be, why is he only 20 odd million then?
I hope they do sign him.
He's exactly what they need, another central midfielder that can't score and assist.
According to the Italians on Twitter, Inter have suddenly recalled Taider from his loan at Southampton. That gives them even more reason to keep MS (or Inter recalled him because MS is staying put).
