It's absolutely crazy Bayern are selling him. It's like us selling Scholes a few years before he retired.

They're playing a lot of trust in ol' Pep.

Well it is as good as confirmed. Great signing. I think his experience is going to help our midfield no end.

Is it? IIRC, Scholes never said he had a dream of playing abroad.

Well he wants to leave so I don't think they have much of a choice.

This will either be a genius move, or a complete disaster.

Huge gamble. Hope LVG has got this one right.

I know it's a sponsorship thing, but it's kind of odd to see bottles of beer on the table at a press conference.
It's Germany. They have to have beer for every occasion. Kind of similar to what we do with wine in Italy.

Put it in context: imagine if we sold Scholes at 30/31 or Keane at 30/31 or Rio at 30/31. All still giving quality seasons while we won plenty of trophies. Schweinsteiger might only have another 2 or 3 seasons at the top, but they're with us :drool:

Same age as Scholes was in 2005 in fact. 5 titles and a European Cup is his target, then.

From what I have seen with France, he isn't world class, he is very good but not a top player, yet.
I agree man, but training with better players will always improve your game & Schneirderlin can only improve if he moves to United.

Chelsea's most important player in them winning the league imo, was Matic, & Schneirderlin is equally as good as him - if not better, plus his physicality is much more impressive.

I just hope we get this deal sorted, because he'd be an OT fans hero i feel..
