Hi Ed's,

Is there any further updates on Morgan Schneiderlin looking to hand in a transfer request.?

{Ed001's Note - last I heard was it was refused yesterday, hence the Twitter whinge. I would expect he will just step up his efforts to leave, it seems he is desperate to go.}

Any updates on Scneiderlin eds?

{Ed001's Note - nothing new mate, it will probably be a few days before anything changes there. Most likely when they buy a replacement.}

I guess then it won't change until the legends match in Sunday! Thanks Ed 001

{Ed008's Note - I think Taider is his replacement the deal they have with Inter to swap/loan Osvaldo in exchange for him so once that's gone through IMO I think we could see a transfer happen but do Spurs really need another Midfield player along with Bentelab,Paulinho,Sandro,Carroll and Dembele? I don't think so.

The thing is Ed, he is a lot better than Carroll, Bentaleb, Capuoe, etc

{Ed008's Note - Oh I forgot about Capuoe! But he's no better then Sandro or Dembele IMO who will be the 2 in midfield.

I agree davo I hope Paulinho and Capoue depart leaving Schneiderlin with Sandro as cover and Dembele with Bentaleb as cover, we then have Eriksen with holtby as cover. That IMO is a good midfield three with internationals as back up who can play a big part in the cup and in Europe. That's not mentioning Carroll who will probably be sent out on loan or be a bit part player if he stays.

I don't know why we don't play Carroll, I think he's a great forward thinking midflieder. He deserves playing time over Bentaleb IMO.

Would play Carroll over Bentaleb, buT wouldn't play Bentaleb much anyway . My problem with Carroll is he is too small and too easy to knock off the ball . He really struggled at QPR last season .

Sorry davo, but I think Carroll is overrated, I think his showing on the tour was great evidence of this. Bentaleb had a great World Cup and is a year younger than caroll.

QPR fans were not impressed with caroll at Allan's that's championship level. Besides they play slightly different positions; caroll an attacking mid, bentaleb a defensive mid. I would loan caroll but not bentaleb next season.

That is my fear about Lamela for all his trickery and skill I hold my breath until I see him put in regular solid shifts against some of the PL mid table and below teams when skill levels may not be as high and defensive physicality is more evident.
