My two cents on the Schneiderlin situation.
It all seems a bit harsh on Schneiderlin, basically. He had decided he wanted to leave in summer, apparently even telling his team mates he wouldn't be back after the World Cup. The media linked him with Arse, but this was probably lazy journalism cos they 'have Champions League' and Wenger has been 'sniffing round for a few years'.
In reality, it appears that he did not have money or CL in mind, but wanted to follow Pochettino – the man he cites as largely responsible for his rise to being a full France international.
This point is important. For while he was away playing in the World Cup, progressing to the quarter finals no less, all his team mates from more rubbish countries (England, principally) came home and rushed through their big-money glory-hunting moves (Lallana, an Everton fan, went to Liverpool; Shaw, a Chelsea fan actively turned them down for more money at United).
Now Schneiderlin has returned to an empty dressing room to find himself being used as a pawn by Soton's chairman to emphasis they're not a selling club.
I'm still fairly confident we'll get him; he can always put through a transfer request, and his angry tweet suggests he is far from happy. Also, as we well know, chairmen saying players are '100% not for sale' don't always mean much (Modric, Berbatov, BALE).
But if any club, ever, needed to (and, really, should) dig in their heels and not commit to selling 7 of their starting 11, it's Soton, so watch this space.
