Quotes from Bayern chairman Rummenigge:

'I make no secret about it that, in our conversations, it sounds like he is flattered from the interest in England, ' he told reporters.
'I talked to him during his vacation. We will meet each other, when he is back. Our plans are not finished yet. The window is open until August 31.'

Could this be why we are stalling on the Schneiderlin move? Personaly think a double swoop for Schneiderlin and Basti would give us a strong and versatile midfiled. Schneiderlin could play as a No. 6 or in a more box-to-box role.

And where does Carrick fit into all this? I really don't see the need for Schweinsteiger and it would frustrate me so much if we chose him over Schneiderlin.

Why should it hold up Morgan. Sorry to sound clichéd but he is exactly what we need and his acquisition shouldn't rely on being tallied with acquiring a 30 year old player (who quite frankly has had an injury riddled season). Not having a go juan but l find this nonsensical and I've been hearing it for 2 weeks.

carrick is 34 and What happens if he gets injured we end up with Fellaini in the middle. Buy Schneiderlin and Bastian along with Herrera we would then have 4 great midfielders to rotate or cover as and when.

By all means let's get him especially at the quoted price but in my eyes it shouldn't be holding up the transfer of a younger box to box midfielder.

Agree with every post. If it's an issue of Morgan vs. Basti, I think Morgan is a no-brainer. Makes no sense to opt for Basti (despite hie undoubted quality) when we have a younger target who could equally do the job and will serve us for years to come.

I hope that is not the case and we are swooping for both.
