Schneiderlin To Earn ÂŁ120k A Week At Old Trafford
The media are reporting that should Morgan Schneiderlin complete his proposed move to Old Trafford then he will be a very rich man.
Any Saints supporter who wondered why Morgan Schneiderlin was so keen to leave St Mary's would have had their questions answered in the media with many outlets reporting that the Frenchman is about to sign a ÂŁ120k a week deal at Old Trafford.
This is perhaps 3 times the amount that he could hope to earn at Saints and even if he was made the club's highest earner then he would probably be on not much more than half of what United seem willing to offer him.
But who can blame him for wanting to move for money, in fairness to Schneiderlin he has served Saints well in the 7 seasons he has been at St Mary's, he more than anyone with perhaps the exception of Adam Lallana in the past 12 months or so deserves a move for services rendered.
In modern day football it is rare that a player stays at a Premier league club very long, Schneiderlin was loyal when we were relegated to League One and has played his part in our revival, yes last summer he had a brief throwing of the toys, but he stayed and got his head down and put in another good season, now is the time that he gets his just rewards for those 7 seasons hard work and those rewards are that he has the chance to test himself in the Champions League and get paid handsomely for doing so.
So good luck Morgan Schneiderlin if your destination is Old Trafford or the Emirates, however if you end up at White hart lane i reserve the right to rescind this eulogy.
What to read next:
Sunderland AwaydazeOur game at Sunderland kicks off on Friday night at 8pm, thanks to yet another Sky Sports selection. You'll find the Stadium of Light on the site of the former Monkwearmouth Colliery on the north bank of the River Wear, the opposite side from the city centre.
Farke happy with the draw at Carrow RoadMost of the fans who watched last night’s visit to Norwich City would accept that a draw was a fair result after an even contest, and Daniel Farke was happy to take a point from a difficult away game against one of the better teams in the division.
Norwich AwaydazeWe visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.
Leeds cruise to comfortable win over CoventryLeeds totally dominated this game against a lacklustre Coventry City, and if anything should have won more comfortably. It now looks like the team is coming together, though there will be tougher tests in the weeks to come.
Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
