Don't you think Schweinsteiger is better than Schneiderlin ever will be, though?
Schweinsteiger is undoubtedly a world class player man, but what's to say Schneiderlin isnt either?!

He just so happens to play for a lower tier club & his profile is much lower than that of 1st tier club players.

Folk didnt rate Carrick when he came to the club & was given Keano's shirt & that caused massive debate, but Carrick's been an amazing player for us & we've won shitloads with him. So i can see Schneiderlin as being that similiar type of influence to the team if we sign him..

Kimmich just accidently confirmed Schweinsteiger leaving - he has to learn how to treat the media...

Rummenigge is lost in traffic and they are waiting on him and do not want to talk about the topic before. The poor guys that want to get presented and everybody is interested in something else...

Joshua Kimmich: "Find it a pity that the Schweinsteiger's gone." So that everything is quite clear #FCBPK #schweinsteiger

Yes! That should confirm it, for now.

Brilliant signing.
He wont take the actual arm band from Rooney but he will be our new captain / leader on the field.

Managers always speak of the importance of the captain having the same idea's as the manager. Well nobody knows LVG better than Schweinstiger. For the money mentioned, if we get 2-3 years out of him its an absolutley mastepiece of a signing.

The type of player that we need if we are seeiousley going to challenge.

Still go get schniderlin and a centreforward

Big time. Class photo. Seems they really have a great relationship - goin by all reports & some of the photo's i've seen them celebrating together..
He, Robben and Müller were the only ones of the squad who in the time after he went away still were always talking in favour of van Gaal - and in the first time afterwards the Bayern officials were talking trash.

Rummenigge arrived. They just show the new kits now and then the players leave.

So the Bastian news of leaving is overshadowing Bayern's new signings?
Yeah, Bayern and Germany legend and the current captain of the reigning world champions is bound to overshadow everything.

From what I have seen with France, he isn't world class, he is very good but not a top player, yet.

Rummenigge confirmed it now. Just the official stuff is missing.

The talking between United and Bayern is done! Only the papers have to be signed.

Always thought we were quite thin on Champions League experience.

Just Carrick, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria, Valencia, Jones in terms of outfield players that have had a taste of the knockout phase. Especially with the new blood in our team Bastian will be cruicial, seems like a great leader on the pitch too.

Rooney and Bastian are two powerful characters for us to have on the pitch. Bastian dictating our play and shaping the attack and Rooney nagging the ref. :lol:
