Signing a player for "his winning mentality and experience in the changing room" is just another way of saying he is shite on the pitch...
It worked well with Naybet and Davids. Or do we have short memories?

Where did you get this from?Mason is in Bournemouth, there was talk of him joining them earlier in the window. I think it would be a bit rash to sell both Mason and Carroll and I'd prefer Carroll staying
He is fucked, even Pep realised that at BM.
Zidane has hinted at an Isco exit. Do you think we have a chance with him? He'd be a great acquisition imo
He's younger
Full stop
We have moved on from those days.It worked well with Naybet and Davids. Or do we have short memories?
Wouldn't want him influencing our youngsters if the stories coming out of OT are true, he pissed off plenty of players there by never attending games when injured and just concentrating on getting himself fit for the Euro's, no interest in the club whatsoever, a proper mercenary by the sounds of it.

Multi-quote. Just sayin'
His game has not been reliant on speed the last seven years. He has played a maestrorole in the heart of Bayern München and Germany. His movement is what has made him the player that his is, not his pace mate....
Anyway, point was, that I'm not advocating that we should go after players with massive wages and are over the top, but Schweinsteiger is a different case, as he knows the game, he has seen all, won all, and is a 100% pro. Having spent 10 of the last 14 years in Germany, I know a thing or two about him.
He's supposedly on £285k a week at United, with 2 years left on his contract.
Even if he were the best player in the world we wouldn't pay that.
From a friend who's a Real fan. Apparently Zidane said in an interview that he had a lot of similar players (attacking midfielders) and he was sure James was staying. It's looking more and more likely that Isco will leaveWhere did you get this from?
Isco moving to Madrid always seemed like a bad move. He wasn't a big enough star at the time and Madrid refuse to create top stars unless they're youth products.
Just the thought of him at Spurs makes me rock hard - but let's be honest, he will go to Arse or Chavs. We won't offer the salary he expects and I quite like the Eriksen-Alli-Lamela triumvirate...

It's ridiculous that Real's wages mean that only 3 or 4 clubs can afford to buy players from them.
Hopefully it will really catch them out at some point.
I think that belonged to Falcao.He was one of the top3 best players outside Barça and Real in La Liga.
Outstanding performances with Malaga.
Holy fuck man, are you still flogging this shite?! Fucken Schweinsteiger for 80 a week. You're fucked in the head.Agree about that. He would have too accept 80k at Spurs at best. Another reason why it won't happen.
However, the idea of getting an experienced pro in makes sense to me, this discussion is hypothetical. With Wanyama, Dier and Dembele there and Alli who could step in, Winks, Caroll/Mason in back up, we are well stocked in that department.
