The last thing Southampton need right now is another star player trying to leave the club. Just hours after his current chairman eloquently defended the baffling Saints summer transfer policy that has seen them amass a new fortune of more than £90m in transfer fees, but lose five players who should have formed the spine of their team next season, Schneiderlin has taken to his social media account to denounce the fact that he is not for sale as part of his side's ongoing agenda. The chairman - Ralph Krueger - had earlier spoken to SkySports to confirm that all five of the players who have left the club were never put up for sale, and the club were only willing to do business at a premium - a call that Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal all made - for talent that he sees as opting for the "easy way into the Champions League." And not long after his words rang out, Schneiderlin, who had been linked with a move to Spurs yesterday decided to somewhat cryptically vent his feelings: https://twitter.com/SchneiderlinMo4/status/494177493155606528 For now, Schneiderlin's "outburst" - as it will no doubt be judged by his bosses - remains live, with close to 20,000 retweets. We can probably all expect the club to issue a condemnation, and if Schneiderlin's gambit doesn't pay off with a move away from the club, some sort of reassurance that he is committed to the club's new season. The odd thing about Schneiderlin's decision is that he seems to have entirely misjudged the context of his chairman's words: yes, Krueger said he's not for sale, but this was in the same breath as his assertion that none of the Famous Former Five were up for sale either. He didn't say the player wouldn't be sold, as much as state in a round about way that anyone looking to buy him would have to pay the same kind of premiums that it's taken to secure his former team-mates. Players no longer have as much power in engineering their own moves, but Schneiderlin's tweet is bound to whip up both fury within the fanbase - who might have accepted his departure in return for another astronomical fee as good business - and frenzied betting activity on his next destination. So will Schneiderlin find his way to Spurs? Share your thoughts in the comments thread below.
