It seems obvious that Morgan schneiderlin is leaving I'm just wondering who you think he'll end up signing for?

I really hope he signs for United I think he'd slot into our line up very nicely.

Cheers

Whoever stumps up the money, basically. If we take him at his word, that he'll only leave for a CL club, the options are limited.

I don't think Chelsea will be in for him (although I think a Matic-Schneiderlin axis in midfield would be virtually impenetrable). City could potentially take a look, as he counts as a home-grown player and they're desperately short of them. But I haven't read or heard anything about them being interested.

Arsenal have been forever linked, but Wenger's pretty loathe to spend big on "defensive" players.

Tottenham are keen, but cheap, and don't have Champions League to offer.

We'll just assume Liverpool are probably interested, on account of him being a Southampton player.

So, all signs point to United, if A) they actually want him and B) he wants to stay in England. There's always the possibility of PSG offering to take him home, I suppose.

Personally, I think Saints are undervaluing him at £25m. James Milner went for more than that. Fellaini went for more than that. They're not in Schneiderlin's class.

It'll only be obvious once someone actually makes a bid and one that matches the club's valuation! For some reason both Arsenal and United are balking at the idea of paying £25 million or more and are looking at cheaper targets according to the press.

Personally I think it will be United Dave. In his own words, he wants to stay in England and play CL football. Arsenal could yet come back in for him but media are suggesting they have turned attention elsewhere, possibly due to fee required.

United are the most likely to snap him up and arguably need a player like him in the centre. In my opinion he is one of the league's best.

Its reported that Tottenham have recently enquired, which would be an odd move for Morgan as it wouldn't be the step forward to CL. but money often talks!

If Spider moves within EPL it will probably be to Utd. Don't get carried away with the £25m-that is press speculation only. Can you really see him being sold for less than Shaw?

Saints will likely follow the same path as with Clyne-sign a potential replacement, then tell any "suitors"-"you pay our price or no deal". For Clyne I suspect this is around £15m and Spider £30m. If I am close, they could both remain at Saints for next season.
