Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur would disagree.
Didn't Fergie say to a journalist 'We'll have to wait and see what happens there' when asked about Sneijder?
He said there is nothing in the rumours that the transfer is already a done deal. That's all.
There was a lot of confusion with that quote. Some journos at that press conference (it was the one when we landed in the states IIRC) said Sneijder wasn't even mentioned.
That was a quote from some Norwegian paper and I doubt it was even said tbh.
No, he's not ours!
Why is there no journalist capable of accurately reporting a bleedin' quote.
Accuracy doesn't sell copy.
Sneijder's mine. I've signed him for my own personal team. We play every Tuesday between 7-8pm at the local university's astroturf pitch. Sneijder makes me laugh when he does his impression of a porpoise.
I decided to embark on the muppetness yesterday. It was concluded Gill was in Zurich for some meeting.
Anything since then? (please no tweets as sources from goal.com's chief executive)

The story was published at united.no and as the official norwegian supporter club, its no bullshit quotes from them. If it was a rumour, they would have stated it clearly. So the quotes are probably right.
And it generally takes more buck for the bang!!
Am I the only one who doesn't want us to spend £35m+ on a 27 year old player?
Nope, there are two of us.
probably, yes. oh wait, two of you I guess.
although some might argue you two are the same person,

The video of the interview - the part related to Sneijder.
The bit at the end where he says United have to answer questions about speculation without adding insult to any particular club or player. Cuts both ways - could mean we aren't interested in a player that says we are in for him (like the guy from Celtic a few weeks back) but, don't want to laugh them off. Same goes for if we are in for someone but, are still working on details and want to do it privately and don't want to put pressure on the other club.
That's the beauty of how it's done, the same happened with Berbatov, with only that one source reporting it it can also be put down to a mistranslation if questioned on it.
That doesn't bother me, it's who the 27 year old is that does.
There is a market for everything.
Poor retards
Holy feck
I want this deal to be finalized quickly or else-
It gets better
And then..
Hooray!
We're signing him

Nobody needs to tell that i'm clutching at straws
There are four people with more posts in this thread than you.
Aren't there better thread topics these days....surely the CE forum should boom during the off season. There are plenty of topics to discuss...
Instead 80% of the cafe just furiously masturbates while hitting F5 in the transfer forum...
The thing is I know most of you posters are adults...

Well done Nimic. I wasn't commenting on the large no. of post that Lynk in this thread. The issue I've is that he kept on commenting that this transfer isn't gonna happen, and yet kept on posting in this.
It would help if you read properly what I said.
Edit: Btw I think I've posted the great amounts of articles and news regarding the topic in this thread. Pointing out the only post in which I've posted a GIF is a great way of proving your point.
I think we really, really, really need a Sneijder-type player and that a signing like could make a huge difference for the great players we have everywhere else in the team - worth in total a lot more money. I also think a lack of a player like that could cause great damage to the same class players.
So while I wouldn't say such an expenditure a classic situations, sometimes it's needed. We've failed to take care of the midfielder in the cheaper way over the last couple of years. Now we may have to pay big, and not that much long term, in order to stay ahead of our competition.
Probably, the rest of us don't paying for a world class player, a fee that world class players command, at a decent age.
Doesnt mean we have to act like adults tho... there's plenty of occasions throughout the day when the adult hat is on, this is funtime - havin the craic & there's feck all wrong with that..
I beg to you to find me a poster on here that doesnt get excited about the prospect of signing new players. Why would we be stuck in the CE forum chronically gettin told there is no God in nearly every thread, when we can have a bitta craic on here about the possibility of us gettin Wesley Sneijder of Utrecht!
No, but you're probably in the minority.
Most of our signings in recent years have been develop-and-nurture types where we sign unproven players with heaps of potential, and then patiently mould them into United players.
However this time we're after someone who can slot in and make an immediate impression, trying to replace one of the finest English midfielders to grace the game in the last 20 years or so. Sneidjer at 27 is a world class player at his peak and would hence be an ideal replacement. His fee and wages are unfortunately the baggage that comes with trying to sign one of the most pretigous players on the planet.

We've a bit of a gap in our squad when it comes to players in their mid/late twenties. Makes perfect sense to sign someone of that age.

If he'll just report that goal.com thinks we've agreed a fee or that Fergie has ruled out a move I'll go on a killing spree.
Well best get ready to lock and load then.
I am disappointed by the number of empty threats in this thread. If everybody went through with their promises, we'd ahve had 27 suicides and 19 massacres so far.
Lets say there is truth to the stories that we are willing to stump 35m and 170k a week for Wesley but, the personal terms seem to be the sticking point. If we are willing to pay that much for him then why not make similar bid for Nasri or Modric.
What we maybe lose out in Wesley's experience part of it can be made up by either of those experience in the league and being younger.
Am sure there is more to it than I see and perhaps the Dutchman is our #1 target but, I don't think there is that much between the 3 to where we at least don't make a play for the other options which could potentially be cheaper and as effective.

Ive been on a killing spree but Im in new Zealand and nobody gives a feck about what happens down here so it wont have made your news, 37 hacked to bits btw
I'm pretty sure we've at the very least enquired about the other two.
Modric has already stated his desire to remain in London and is trying to engineer a move to Chelsea as we speak. Nasri for all we know might have already decided to opt for Shitty's millions already, judging by SAF's comments.
Sneidjer recently seems to be the more attainable signing, despite Inter's supposed reluctance.
But you've gone on record a number of times that you think we will sign him. The only difference is that you and Lynk have different opinions. But each of you have stated your belief around the same number of times. I'm not saying who's right or wrong here. Just pointing out the similarity.
I hope Howard Nurse can run fast, everyone is sharpening their knives.
Who the feck is this Howard Nurse anyway? And why is his info being taken seriously?
