Hearing on the Schneiderlin rumours that it may well be agreed later today and the player will undergo the medical tomorrow, the transfer will then officially go through on wednesday, fee of around £27m.

Tremendous deal, I hope it goes through. He and Carrick will compete well over that number 6 role. It would not surprise me though to Schneiderlin play further forward when Carrick is fit.

Don't think it is that close. Morgan is at Staplewood today for first day of pre-season training. That doesn't sound like a player about to have a medical.

Private jet can cover 200 odd miles or so pretty quickly I'd imagine

Luke Shaw

Yes, and a leg can be broken in pre-season training!!
Still doesn't sound like a player about to have a medical.
Not as close as you think. Morgan is unlikely to move as a second or third choice or back-up, and Saints will not sell below their valuation. If LVG wants to play games with RoKo he will lose.
Remember, Morgan SPECIFICALLY said he wants to PLAY in CL. Unless he is sure that will happen he will not move. He is far better than a squad player and his international career needs him to progress.

Southampton are a good feeder club now-days.

Why don't you jump across the Everton page an post that too LOL. They still think it is the 70's and 80's :)

Interesting that you think a medical is imminent when no serious offer has been made by Utd. for Morgan!! (See interview with RoKo TODAY on Saints WS after he took training with the squad, including Morgan.)
As yet, paper talk is saying one thing ("a fee has been agreed"!!??, RoKo another. I know who I believe, but feel free if you want your leg lifted.
A deal may yet happen but don't expect it to be easy. RoKo has no need to be helpful to LVG and he knows all about playing and winning the CL. He will be listened to by Morgan, and he may well just question how settled will the rest of the team be for next season. And whilst this is going on there is nothing to say another suitor may not appear.
I see a comment about Shaw. Have you considered what logic is there for Morgan to be sold for less than Luke?? There do seem to be a few smelly porkies floating around this "story".

Saint Martin, haven't we been here before? You telling us we will not sign Shaw.

Very simple mate. Your manager going public and saying you don't have a serious offer from United means you have an offer on the table and its all about that last bit of haggling. Schneiderlin will be gone in the next 7 days because at the end of the day business people run these clubs and the player has made no secret of wanting to leave the club for about 12 months now.
You can always come and tell us how we were wrong in a week or so:)

see if he turns up for training tomorrow.
