someone to do with Southampton has an apartment in Murcia Spain, and is the son of John deehan former villa player and he says sniderlin (spelling) is a done deal.

One offer from Man Utd-£20m, turned down and nothing since.

Morgan off to Austria tomorrow for pre season training with Saints-some done deal.

(Don't believe me, see RoKo press conference this pm.)

06 Jul 2015 20:50:00
The fact koeman is talking about it says everything Saint, he wants the deal done, matter of time.

Luke Shaw again! Bury your head in the sand

06 Jul 2015 21:11:10
You must read slightly different to me " the player wants to leave" " we will see what happens" and " I don't know about price. 25 million" take that how you want but i'd say he's on his way pal

Absolutely deluded! The player wants to leave-yes. The club are willing to allow him to leave-yes. The price has moved (ACCORDING TO THE MEDIA) from £15m (Arsenal media) to £20m then £25m now £30m (Utd. media).
He will leave if the club receive an acceptable offer. RoKo said over a week ago the Utd. offer was not serious (£20m) and it was then speculated £25m was wanted. Media yesterday were suggesting to RoKo that £25m was wanted and he made it plain that was incorrect.
He will be on his way if Saints valuation is met AND he wants to move to that club. Utd have a problem in both respects at the moment. Saints have no reason to go for a quick sale at a knock down price.

Shaw for £30m+. If you know anything about Morgan as a player, would Saints not be expecting more for him??

Every player has his price and we have experience as a club of selling players. Last season we sold some players and if there is interest in Morgan then ok. But it has to be at the price the club wants, he is one of the key players in our team and an international player, and I don't think that this is a problem for Manchester United. Ronald koeman!!! And you call me deluded!

Bit of news . Garay is on his way to valencia clearing the path for otamendi to ourselves

06 Jul 2015 19:13:12
Or to someone else but fingers crossed

Has anyone watched him properly? If so, is he good? If only watched him once, on Saturday and he wasn't anything special, but I won't judge after one game, especially a defender.

06 Jul 2015 21:05:45
To be fair hawkleyhallred, he had Demichelis beside him, and on many occasions he had to cover for him. Playing againsts Sanchez in the Premier League is one thing, against him for Chile however is completely different. He's like a completely different player, and if he played like that week in week out he'd be seen as one of the best in the world.

Otamendi had an outstanding season, I started paying more attention to Valencia when his name was being talked about more often around November/December. He's pacey, strong in the tackle and determined to win everything he has the slightest chance of winning, and usually does.

His distribution could be better, he sometimes tries what I like to call a "Strikers Pass", which would be for instance a flick or a "highly-unlikely to succeed, but mesmorising if it comes off" type of pass, and he has lost the ball numerous times because of it. I wonder whether he was a striker or a winger in his youth days. If he could cut them out and play a simple pass every time, he would be perfect.

He isn't the tallest of defenders, but he wins every header with his determination, strength and power. From corners he reminds me of Vidic, where he would just throw himself at the ball, couldn't care less if he was putting his life at risk.

All in all, very very good defender, puts everything he has into every game he plays, never slacking, and is an absolute psychopath. Think of Jaap Stam but smaller.

If we sign Otamendi or Ramos i'll be just as happy with either.

Sounds good then. And defenders generally peak around 27-32 so time to improve. I would like to see rojo given a chance at cb with him against the weaker teams if we do buy him, think they would form a good understanding. Plus they both get stuck in!

I did say yesterday that UTD & Soton had agreed a 24.5 mill deal for schneiderlin yesterday and look what's happened today.

No schneiderlin in training at Soton as he is ill lol. Anyone check Our medical centre yet.

06 Jul 2015 17:04:53
Yep d deal has been agreed . bt dey dnt want to anouce it yet .u find out 2moro. glory glory . and dere is possible transfer going underground

06 Jul 2015 17:07:39
Seems like it's false and he isn't ill. Even if he was ill he could have attended the team meetings.

06 Jul 2015 17:11:18
Lifeofismarhill are you Ali G

06 Jul 2015 17:13:09
Or you know. Could genuinely be ill?

06 Jul 2015 17:24:18
Is this just how he was not mentally prepared or feeling well enough last year when Tottenham came for him? I think Koeman is ready to sell and it'll go through soon.

06 Jul 2015 17:28:28
Koeman literally just said that Schneiderlin is travelling with the rest of the squad to Austria for pre-season.
