Agree with all of this, but a pretty trusthworthy (in my view) ITK source said we had an offer on the table for Schneiderlin, if the United deal didn't work then we had a shot. And also that Soton (the club itself) really do dislike us, and have since the Hoddle thing. But business is business.
I can believe that. If you were Southampton you'd be calling everybody out for a bidding war and the press have been labelling him at £25m but, I get the feeling they've probably not had a bid over £18-20m yet and still trying to up the ante.
