Schneiderlin

I remember Ian Wright saying that players do purposefully pick up suspensions so they miss certain games, usually to have some time off more than anything.

I don't think Schneiderlin would have done it so he wouldn't play against Arsenal though, doesn't really make any sense:

"Hey, I got deliberately sent off because i did't have the character to play against you and it makes me look really, really unprofessional you still want to sign me though right?"

Is he exactly what we need? He's not an enforcer. He isn't physically dominant. He doesn't sit in front of the back 4. Not sure what he would bring to us for the sum of money quoted to sign him.

But Khedira is the right man then?

I never said he was.

Come off it, Arsenal will be going into next season with a midfield axis of Arteta and Flamin

Then again the new manager might actually have some fresh ideas to genuinely compete

I don't remember the first but of course the second was deliberate, it was a professional foul as Chelsea were countering and might have scored. Defensive midfielders have a job to do and sometimes that's what you have to do.

Wouldn't put it past him, especially after his little twitter stunt in the summer.

I'd take him in a heart beat though, such a good little player.

Nasri, Clichy, Sagna, Ade.... Schneiderlin would be no different We should look for players who want to win a trophy with us. The Spúds can have him.

I think the OP was asking whether he set out to get sent off from the start,a premeditated red if you will, not if his second booking was a cynical foul or not, which it was of course.

Still not sure why he did it, he was in his own half and Fabregas wasn't exactly going to run away from him.

Easy people.. The boy wants to play in the champions league next season and is just doing the best he can for his new club

Because i have had a nice dinner/lunch and a good drink so far would i be wrong to suggest....20 times 20 times man united,20 times Chelsea mugs i say,defend the league if you can Manchy sh itty,staying oily for the arab way. I am a mug so no need to tell me.
Gave a bit out on the Chelsea board yesterday,bit like the ravenous dogs the whole of Kent are. Beautiful dodger beautiful!

how kind of you
His request to join Poch at Spurs in the summer was turned down by Saints.
Its only a matter of time before he joins us
