German media reporting Schwinestiger is flying in for a medical.
Lets wait and see if this is true or just selling papers or pay per click advertising.
Cheers.

3 Year deal - 15 million fee - Bild are breaking the story.
10 Jul 2015 21:55:42
I would rather take schweini since 30m for schneiderlin is clearly taking the piss
10 Jul 2015 21:58:16
We are being priced out of schneiderlin at a ridiculous 30m, so I'll take schweini
10 Jul 2015 21:59:46
Would love it with Schneiderlin but just can't see it!!
10 Jul 2015 22:02:16
Was just going to post same thing. 3 year deal. Fabulous news. I do hope we sign Schneiderlin too as a younger proven Prem performer but in Schweinsteiger we have at last a genuine world class central midfielder again. I appreciate he is 30 but he's an absolute beast of a player and never seen him have a bad game.
10 Jul 2015 22:05:48
I think it leaves us in a strong position to sign Schniderlin too hopefully - Southampton want 30m and we have offered 20m, so next step this weekend is a compromise at 25m and then he and Schwini will be on the plane to USA on Monday - room for Otamendi on the flight too!
10 Jul 2015 22:06:45
I think if this is true then the domino's of the Schneiderlin deal may fall into place. Whether that is us withdrawing as LVG only wanted 1 or we push on knowing that we have Schweinsteiger in place.
Centre of the park may not be the pushover we have been previously. assuming he comes with the right attitude
10 Jul 2015 22:06:47
10m euros per year surely that's not right
10 Jul 2015 22:07:16
If this schweinsteiger rumour is true surely this would put us in a better negotiating position with Southampton re schneiderlin
10 Jul 2015 22:16:10
I agree dave. It shows that we don't need him if we have bastian and they will have less of a bargaining chip
10 Jul 2015 22:21:33
Looking at Twitter the bold reports being backed up by some prominent journalists who are Munich fans saying thanks and goodbye to Bastian. No wonder are looked smug at Wimbledon today, must have happened late as LVG didn't hint at anything at Depays press conference. Maybe he didn't want to take anything away from Depays day knowing it was the biggest day in his career so far. Let's get Otamendi, Schneiderlin and Lacazette and its game on
10 Jul 2015 22:21:55
This would be excellent (if true)and we should then add Scheiderlin and that is the midfield sorted!
CB and Striker and we can push hard for the title, me thinks
10 Jul 2015 22:22:57
Looks like a solid rumour on Schwini - wages 7.2m over 3 years - most of the transfer sites are running with this now so happy days. You heard it on this site first though so cheers to the Eds.
10 Jul 2015 22:36:58
He'll be 31 in a couple of weeks Halesini. Great experienced player but very expensive with his age and wages. No doubt a big signing on fee too. I think Scneiderlin is better for ye value wise, although a bigger transfer fee but probably half the wages.
10 Jul 2015 22:41:41
Could'nt be happier if true.
:-)
10 Jul 2015 22:47:20
this is smashed across evry paper, footy site and twitter. proper hoping its true
10 Jul 2015 23:56:53
Possibly more good news. AS (the newspaper in Spain) are leading with Real signing the Espanyol keeper Kiko Casilla.
They co own the player with Espanyol, so it means buying out Espanyol's rights. His transfer clause is 20m and so it should mean Real give 10m and he signs for them, but AS are indicating they will get him cheaper.
My take on this is that it could be mind games on the De Gea transfer negotiations, but its normally Marca in Spain that are the puppets for Madrid so let's hope Madrid may have decided to move on from De Gea. He seems happy enough shopping at the Trafford Centre and going to Wimbledon!
11 Jul 2015 00:29:08
LVG has stressed at the news conference how professional De Gea has been and that he is happy to take him on tour. I am retrospectively adding weight to this in light of the AS article above, perhaps we have made headway in retaining De Gea.

Seriously, who cares how much Schneiderlin costs it isn't our money and everyone says he is THE player to improve our midfield, Schweini and Carrick will be injured so can dovetail nicely.
Ed is always saying how minted we are we will spend the money anyhow
