Morgan Schneiderlin

[davek]

McCarthy is not a holding midfielder though. And as you said the McCarthy in 2013-2014 was not the same in 2014-2016.

Fair enough if you don't rate him.

I do rate him. I just dont go OTT after 12 games in or whatever.

As said: seen better seen worse in an Everton jersey.

Where was he in the Spurs game? As anonymous performance as you could find...apart for his balls up on their second goal.

You've picked an isolated incident there Dave

If you look at his full body of work, we've been much better with him than without him, as our form in 2017 shows. We have lost all of three games in 2017, which has coincided with Morgan coming in

That tells you all you need to know

We're a better team with him than we are without him, that's indisputable, and he was a very good signing and Walsh/Koeman deserve due credit for going out there and making sure we got him

I think you need to let this one go I'm afraid. You said we shouldn't have signed him, but he's rocked up and done really well, showing that the club was right to sign him after all despite your protestations

It happens. I didn't want McCarthy, but he proved me wrong. Morgan has proved you wrong. Simple as

I dont care what he did for some woolly back club. Not remotely arsed. It was a step down and at a less exacting level. He went to united and didn't impress two managers enough to nail down a place. Now he's here and has started well.

That's it really. Nothing more to report at this stage...certainly not that he's superb or anything outrageous like that.

Same as Deulofeu here then?

Thanks to Moshiri there were money to throw around. A player does not perform at his current club does not mind he can't perform under the coaching of Koeman. That does not mean I want Sissoko and Kone by the way.

Last sentence says it all.

 

[hktoffee]

He has played about 5 games for us, calm down.

Barry was excellent until his age caught up with him slightly by the way.

Schneiderlin plays in 10 games now actually.

True, Barry was a good signing and Schneiderlin is his long term replacement.

I think you misunderstand. He';s a good player. Yes.

That's it. Do I have to agree with people who have seen him close up a handful of times that he's world class?

You know what I mean. He has done well and the signs are good but we always seem to jump in with two feet, lets see how it pans out fully first.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

If you search "World Class" in this thread, there's exactly one person who has said that he is, and even then that poster qualified it by saying he was World Class "on his day"

That's it

He's instrumental to the way we play, he makes The Entertainers™ tick.

 

[Houghty19]

Initial judgement on the lad is that he makes us a different team but it's still early days. If he's still doing it this time next year the money we paid for him will be insignificant when compared to the effect he will be having on games for us. On another player I wish people weren't as scathing on is Barry and his performances, as for a period while he has been here he has frequently been the best player on the pitch for us, unfortunately age has caught up and he isn't now worth his place but when he's picked to play you still get100% out of him it's just a shame his legs aren't 10 years younger.

 

[jackyboy]

Very good midfielder.

 

[blulouie]

Cleverley was a free signing. Koeman could afford to throw over £20M at Schneiderlin. The only big investment made by Martinez on a player was on Lukaku. Need I say more?

Perfect replacement for Barry, well done Koeman.

You did mate

Never doubted you for a second

You were right, others were wrong and should have listened
