He's really becoming the "old FM legend but underachieved career" type of player

I think you're right, if he works hard enough I think there is a good player in him.
True. We have been picking up too many fine weather players and players lacking tenacity and will to win stuff in the last couple of years. I don't know where I read it but the one line a scout said on how to find those players that will win you stuff was mentioning that if you find a talented player it's especially important to watch how he handle the last 10 minutes of a game, when he gets tired and every sprint hurts, that's the moment where you see who is a player that will be able to win you things and who isn't and I couldn't agree more with that sentiment. Of course, you don't need an entire team of players like this but it helps if you have 5-6 of these fighters in your line up every game and add a couple of artists on top of it. Naturally the best mix is if you can find both in one player, the technical ability and the will to fight for every inch of pitch even in the 123rd minute of a game but those players are rare.
My bad, it was just one season without Pochettino, it was his best at Southampton though and under Koeman.

Has left the building. Just look at the responses.
What the hell happened to this guy with us and Everton?
Massively overrated. Never understood the hype.
At the time I think we were just so desperate for a competent midfielder that the caf was happy to get behind this guy. Can't remember a single good game for us.

Over a 100 appearances for United and Everton, I could not name a single memorable moment during this time.
I think he scored a goal once didn't he?
I remember once he was man of the Match at Old Trafford. We lost 1-0. He was playing for Southampton.
One goal against WBA in 2017 playing for Everton
He never recovered mentally from that United part of his career. No point in revisionism and saying he wasn't good at Southampton, he was brilliant. Seems like it may have been a case of the system suiting him perfectly and he couldn't adjust.
He was a fine PL central midfielder at Southampton, when he signed I and many others thought he would be a good addition. The fact he turned into an absolute non-entity of a player here doesn't mean it was obvious and predictable he wouldn't make it with us or with Everton.
Sounds about right that mate.
Was great at Southampton but atrocious altogether for us and Everton.
Well He is 30 now.
At some point him and Schweiny were the talk of this forum. But both contributed almost nothing during their time here. I am not surprised really. Maybe He was having the best time of his career at Southampton and things just went downhill since.

Everyone has their time. People can't play down how good he was at Southhampton. Unfortunately, he just wasn't able to make the step up, but he certainly isn't the first and will not be the last.
Over the moon when we signed him from Southampton thinking we finally have a Carrick replacement. Really surprised at how he went downhill so fast
Almost exactly what I was about to say!
Downplay his achievements all you like but he was one of the best French midfielders we've ever had.
Also the worst.
Also the worst.
To think he was on the fringe of the French National Team at some point. Hopefully he can regain some form of relevance at Nice playing under Viera.
Schneiderlin is still the player with the highest number of successful tackles in the Premier League since 2013 (422)

Signed for Turkish side Konyaspor on August 1st, mutually terminated the contract today after he asked for it due to family reasons. Hope everything is okay.
It's amazing to think how shit he was looking back. A remarkably poor signing. Best of luck to him with the personal stuff.
Edit - I could have been nicer.

He was pretty good at Southampton.. limited, but pretty good.. dunno what happened..
Probably lost his motivation at some point.

Was convinced he would be a sensation based on the fact he ran around a lot 
Was he still at Everton until this move, then? He can't have played for them for years, surely.
Almost forgot this guy existed.
Exactly. The club’s goalkeeper just left the club too, due to unpaid salaries. Just hope there’s nothing more serious going on in Schneiderlin’s life.
