I really doubt that. I believe that would put him third behind only Rooney and Rio on our wage bill. He'd be on £70-80k in my opinion.

I think Young is on around £130grand a week, my understanding was that his actual wage is somewhere round the £70 - £80grand a week mark, but his signing on fee is being gradually payed off in weekly packages.
Sure Jovanovic is apparently on over £100grand a week at Liverpool, with his signing on fee package.
 
Gesperini: "Sneijder at MU? Sneijder here, Eto'o is here, and we are here to prepare for the Super Cup and championship in Beijing."
 
Vinny O'Conner (Sky Sports News) said that the Inter manager said this afternoon at the Dublin Cup press conference that Eto'o and Sneijder are with the club and training now. He wouldn't say if he expects both players to be at the club at the start of the season and when asked about Tevez he said his squad would certainly be stronger at the start of the season.

So they're not signing Tevez then?

nothing to see, we haven't make any sort of move at all, not yet anyway.:angel:
 
Go on Fergie, get another ex-United player to speak publicly about the subject. That should make it even again.

I think Ruud or Phil will be the next to speak about Sneijder being perfect for United.
 
this will go to the wire with both clubs hanging on in for the best deal,it will happen,HE"s OUR MAN.....
 
I too believe he will sign eventually...


It's hard to see a back up plan if he doesn't though!
 
I'd say this best describes how most of us feel on the situation.

Khush

That person definitely isn't me. Nope. Definitely not.
 
That person speaks from a position of ignorance; I like to think of myself as ITK and current, keeping abreast of the goings on in the saga.
 
Wesley Sneijder is a Dutch playmaker who is currently at Internazionale but Manchester United want him.
 
From the Guardian. Gill saying deals for a playmaker are 'dead' at the moment:

Manchester United give up on landing a playmaker in transfer window
• Deals for Wesley Sneijder and Samir Nasri 'dead'
• No more signings this summer, says chief executive


Manchester United have been linked with Internazionale's Dutch international Wesley Sneijder, but any deal is said to be 'dead'.

Manchester United are close to tying Javier Hernández and Antonio Valencia to new contracts but increasingly losing hope when it comes to bringing a top central midfielder to Old Trafford, with a potential deal for Wesley Sneijder or Samir Nasri described as "dead".

David Gill, the United chief executive, believes there will be no more signings this summer unless the two clubs involved – Internazionale and Arsenal – indicate otherwise when United return from their pre-season tour of the US. The same also applies to Tottenham Hotspur, with Luka Modric, another player Ferguson covets.

Asked about Sneijder, Gill said: "We didn't progress that one. I'm not doing anything on anything at the moment, so they are all dead."

Gill said, however, that the situation could change before the end of the transfer window. "The important point is that you never know. I've been around in football long enough to know things change quickly. Somebody may become available and we can then say we are interested."

But United are working on the basis that their transfer business is done for the summer, with £50m spent on Ashley Young, David de Gea and Phil Jones. United's suspicion is that, if Nasri were to leave, he would favour Manchester City because of the higher wages at Eastlands, while the brief and exploratory talks for Sneijder never developed beyond preliminary contact. Gill denied reports that he had been to Milan to meet Inter officials.

Instead the club have turned their attention towards agreeing new deals with several key players now that Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Wes Brown, John O'Shea and Edwin van der Sar are no longer on their wage bill.

Valencia has provisionally agreed a new contract, to be announced next week, and talks are also at an advanced stage with Hernández. Park Ji-sung is close, too, to finalising a two-year extension that will leave Dimitar Berbatov as the only player at Old Trafford in the final year of his contract.

The Bulgarian may have to wait until next year before his future is discussed but Gill said there was nothing sinister behind the delay. "People keep telling me he's in the final year of his contract but there is an option on the club's side to extend Dimitar's contract by another year. We can do it whenever we want, there are no conditions around it and that means, in effect, he has two years to go.

"Everyone has been talking about Berbatov from the outside, saying he wants to leave or that we want him to leave but we don't want him to go. We want him to stay. He scored over 20 goals last season, so there is no desire on our behalf to see him go. We have until the end of the season, so we can assess how it goes, talk to him, see how he performs and see what happens then."

Valencia has two years of his current four-year deal to run but United want to reward the Ecuadorian for establishing himself as Sir Alex Ferguson's first-choice right-winger, despite breaking his leg at the start of last season.

"He has [agreed a new deal] and we are in the process of finalising that," Gill said. "He's been away at the Copa América and we've been here [in the US], but it's broadly sorted out and should be announced next week when we're back."

Hernández is also being moved into a higher bracket of earners on the back of Chris Smalling, also signed last summer, agreeing a new five-year contract earlier this month. "Chris had a renegotiation clause in his contract if he met a certain number of appearances," Gill said. "There's no such clause in Javier's contract but, having said that, we intend to address it in the autumn."

Interesting stuff... I'm sure something will open up. Like we keep saying Inter need money. Arsenal I doubt won't be stupid enough to make Nasri's contract run down and as for anyone else..... I don't know:lol:
 
This is exactly the same as what was said earlier in the week. We are not negotiating for any player right now but that could change before the window closes.

Don't panic fellow mullets, all hope is not lost.
 
Bah, words are meaningless at this time of year. What he is saying is just as likely to be words aimed at improving our negotiating position in any transfers we are interested in as it is likely to be true.

He's not going to say "we're desperate to sign someone and will pay whatever it takes" is he?

Exactly.
 
The report neglected to mention what happened after the interview:

'Five minutes later muffled hysterical laughter was heard from the room which Gill had exited into following the interview. A familiar Glaswegian voice could be heard saying "You've wummed them bigtime again, David, no doubt about that. Next week, say the opposite."'

Nothing will done until we back in England. It is impractical with all parties in different parts of the world. And that goes for any player we are interested in. The only way someone would be completed in middle of the tour is if another club makes bid for a player we are keen on, or if negociations were at an advanced stage before pre season begun.

So the new quotes don't surprise me at all.
 
Lad's this ship has sailed, we've heard from Ferguson and Gill that any deal is unlikely. Inter havn't expressed any desire to sell, they want to keep him, his wife loves Milan.

Well and truly done and dusted as far as I'm concerned. As long as Chelsea don't bring in any top class midfielder we've done well in the transfer market and we'll be the front runners for the league, I expect.

We've to accept that there isn't any player that we'd want available currently, I really hope that changes, I'm not holding my breath though.
