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 change drastically when Cortese left.
I think it's the 'spursy' effect....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 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.
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.Exactly.

Starting against Bin dippers today
He looks a bit unhappy/detached in front!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!

They can fuck off. Where are they going to play him, defence?
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!
