Schweinsteiger wants to go to England

[Walton Park]

Boss player.

Boss bird.

Nice pints.

[Phoenix]

We would need Champions League to get him.

[dennis tooth]

He would certainly fill the hole Xabi left...

 

I hear Maxi tried to fill that hole during a recent goal celebration but failed?

[WaltonRed]

He'd be soft to sign for us

[MLB]

Yeah, he'd be mad to sign for us at the moment. If he went to anyone here I reckon it would be the Mancs. If we had another manager and were showing signs of achieving something on the pitch then we might have a chance, but right now? I doubt it.

[Hermes]

I don't think we should be looking to sign players at his level at the moment. We only need to sign 3 or 4 players who are better than players in the current first eleven. That shouldn't be difficult or expensive.

If you can get a quality player on the cheap as a result of his contract situation why the hell shouldn't we be looking to sign him?

'Cause it'll just be humiliating when he laughs in our faces.

[TommyW]

Thread should be renamed "Schweinsteiger wants a payrise"

[The Bugged Out]

Don't shoot the messenger but my mate you lives in Munich said there has been local talk about us being interested in signing him for the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Not with a real manager in charge. He may well still rather just go somewhere for silly wages though.

Pre-ah-cisely the rub.

[lifetime fan]

Pre-ah-cisely the rub.

 

If those defending Roy don't expect him to be here next year why shouldn't we be in for him?

 

All the rumours are that he'll go in the summer not the January.

 

He definately wouldn't be the first player to sign for a club knowing the manager was getting the sack before the manager did.

We're in ninth place in our league, without Champions League this season or (quite possibly) next. The other clubs who're rumoured to be in for him are significantly better at the moment. And probably more inclined to pay silly wages.

I don't disagree with a word of that.

 

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We have to get rid of this defeatist attitude at the club quick fucking smart.

[stringvest]

He's a great player. However, he'd fall out with Gerrard after 10 minutes. Dick swinging olympics ahoy.

[Wor Horse]

Don't know why but i've got a weird feeling we could actually sign him you know.

 

It'd be the marquee signing NESV need but they wouldn't need to break the bank at the same time..

[Megadrive Man]

He doesn't fit in with NESV's transfer strategy though.

 

He's 27 years old, would be expensive and have no resale value at all.

I think the policy thing is a general rule but quality players like him are the exception, not saying we will sign him but he is the type of player we should be going for.

 

I think the whole thing is more value for money and he fits into that category.

[Unrighteous]

He'd definitely be a first team regular from the word go... if we signed him.

[WaltonRed]

Never going to happen lets face it.
