If he comes here he'll be on very high wages, at least as high as at Inter, it's plausible that we could pay him that because of the very cut price fee we'd be getting him at, with the majority of what we save on the transfer fee going on his signing on fee to supplement his wages. The idea that we could get him for £11m and pay him "reasonable wages" (if £100k p/w is considered "reasonable") is a fantasy, the reason he's so unhappy at Inter is that he doesn't want to take a pay cut.
With Sneijder we would have the most fearsome attack on this planet earth.
Don't forget Sneijder is awesome on freekicks, with RVP, Rooney we would dominate in dead ball situations.
Also, with that attack we can afford to play without a keeper

11m for a midfielder.. why not?
Oh come on, we aren't signing him.
I imagine that the reason he's unhappy at Inter is because they agreed to pay him the money, then decided it was too much and stopped playing him in an attempt to get him to take a pay cut or leave.
not saying the he won't want high wages (probably too high, which will put us off again) but it's obvious that Inter are the bad guys in their situation, not Sneijder who is entitled to be paid what they owe him without being mistreated for it.
Kagawa and Rooney are already fighting for that AMC position I don't see how Sneijder would fit in now.
We can adopt a 4222 ala citeh.
Then it means getting rid or at the very least unsettling Nani, Valencia and Young while playing Kagawa deeper than he'd like, meh seems pointless at this stage. He would of been a great signing last summer when we were linked with him but since then we signed Kagawa and RVP there's just no room for him anymore.
Yeah, fair enough, from what I've heard their behaviour has been less than decent but if he was willing to take a pay cut he'd stay at Inter.
Or play Sneijder and Kagawa behind Rooney and VP, or play a Diamond. It'd definitely create more competition for places upfront, and we might have too many, but getting a player of Sneijder's quality and losing Nani/Young/Valencia is a plus.
There's space for him in the squad, though I wouldn't be particularly keen on signing him due to injury problems and his supposed attitude issues.
That assumption was only based on Nani's imminent departure. I think there would be a decent chance of us trying to sign him if Nani does leave, i wouldn't say no.
Who plays that formation? Bar the odd Brazil team you hardly ever see it.
Only way it would make sense IMO is if he came as a conventional centre mid and partnered Carrick, offering an alternative to Clev and Anderson. Otherwise seems really unnecessary.
Carrick
Sneijder Rooney
Nani Persie Kagawa
Sneijder Rooney
Nani Persie Kagawa
or
Carrick
Kagawa Cleverley
Sneijder
Persie Rooney
Kagawa Cleverley
Sneijder
Persie Rooney
That first one doesnt make sense gooDevil, you can't just have 1 centre mid and then 5 forwards, we'd get completely fecked in defence.
If he could play centre mid instead of attacking midfield in your formation then it might work, but you can't just leave Carrick on his own.
The second one isn't awful but seems unnecessary. Why not just leave Kagawa in AM and then buy an actual centre mid to take the other CM spot?

Manchester City played it a lot last season with Silva and Nasri behind two strikers. Read it as playing Kagawa and Sneijder either side of Rooney behind RVP if you want.
We don't need another attacking midfielder. No thanks.
I think he will go to City.
Sneijder and Rooney have both shown they can play in a 3 man midfield, it could work.
It would be mental if we signed Sneijder, absolutely mental.
They have Yaya Toure and a many defensive midfielders to support that tho. We would need young Keano and young Carrick to play like that.
It's not really a three man midfield though mate.
What three man midfield plays with one single center mid and two attacking midfielders? Seriously, can you name many that do because I would be surprised.
Oh right, I thought you were talking about a different thing. Yeah I guess it would be very similar to City's set up. Not sure that is a good thing though, there are better ways of playing IMO. They cry out for width at times, it is a real issue for them.
City fans are calling for Mancini's head with a key criticism of their play being that they are too narrow.
Why would we emulate that?

Maybe Fergie can transform him into a deeper lying playmaker like he did with Scholes, if we get him that is.
Spurs will cure their inferiority complex with this signing.
That's the only way I can see him fitting in. With Rooney and Kagawa we don't need another no.10/trequartista/whatever you want to call it. Though if we are looking to buy him to play in a deeper role why not just buy a normal midfielder, one who's younger and isn't going to have the same astronomical wage demands. Had we not signed Kagawa in the summer I'd be keen to have Sneijder but the ship has well and truly sailed.
I can't see Sneijder wanting to move to Spurs and it's been said before about Fergie eventually getting players he wants, it seems unlikely but not impossible.
11m..
me wants
me wants
Yes a direct replacement for Scholes, make it happen Fergie
Let me preface this by saying I think it's very unlikely we will sign him.
However, above all else the RVP signing showed us that a world class player such a massive difference maker week in week out for any club that it's not really important if you think you're well covered in that area. People (and I was one of them) talked about Hernandez and Welbeck etc.. all summer when RVP was brought up as a potential signing. Let's be honest we were all talking shite and you can't really express in words how much better RVP is than those players other than to say he is completely different class.
I don't know if SAF would play Sneijder as a Deep lying playmaker, behind a front two or wherever but what I do know if that at his best Sneijder is better than all our players except Van Persie and with that in mind I'd be delighted if we signed him.

I like him but a midfielder who plays deep is far more necessary. I've never liked Sneijder as a CM, even though I tried to convince myself he would be great here in CM. He's best as an attacking midfielder, without a doubt.
Didn't Sneijder use to play as a deep lying playmaker when he was young? Or was it Van der Vaart? Or maybe it was neither of them

I don't know about deep lying but he has played CM, but has previously stated his preferred position is further forward. That might have changed though, because he also wanted a shed load of cash.
For 11 mil Sniejder would be a fecking briliiant signing even if the wages are 100k per week or more.
I mean come on he is only 28 and just off form. If he finds his form, which he will at United imo, imagine what a signing he could turn out to be.

I think Sneijder can be more than just a pure attacking mid. He can play well deeper in midfield as well , if not as a deep lying midfielder.
He has the ability,technique and class to do that.
Agreed. He would be a much better player under Fergie than he has been at post-Mourinho Inter. If we signed him, people will be hailing the signing in 6-12 months, just as they are RvP today, when many last summer thought it was a ridiculous signing that would stunt Welbeck's development. Bottom line - If a quality player becomes available for a decent price we should be interested.
Would dull the pain if Nani left.
It's now on never
