If we wanted a player like him, we would have signed him a year ago when he went to Inter for £12m or something. At £30m he'd probably cost now there's fat chance of us making a move.
 
If Fergie wants him and he explicitly wants to play for us, then there's no way it won't happen.
 
Player looking for a big new contract extension links himself with a move to United?
I think we've been here before, such as Casillas a couple of years ago.
 
WESLEY SNEIJDER: 'I'D ONLY PLAY IN ENGLAND FOR MANCHESTER UNITED'

WESLEY SNEIJDER last night revealed: I would love to play in England but ONLY for Manchester United.

The classy Dutch midfielder, who was linked with a £30m summer move from Inter Milan to Old Trafford, is a huge United fan.

Sneijder, 26, said: ‘‘If somebody asks me if I will ever play for Manchester United, it’s impossible for me to say no. How can you say that if the chance came you would not play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.


‘‘I don’t think there is any player in the world who could publically rule out ever playing for Manchester United, and if they did I would doubt they were telling the truth.

‘‘I have played with Real Madrid who many consider the best club in the world, and now I have played with this Inter Milan team who made history last season by winning the treble.

‘‘I am still an Inter Milan player and very much committed to the club, but I can’t say what will happen in the future and if Manchester United approached me in the summer of course I would listen.’’

Sneijder has also been linked with a move back to former club Real Madrid to work with his former inter coach Jose Mourinho.

But the Dutch ace wants to come to England.

Sneidjer added: ‘‘The Premier League, in terms of top clubs, is the strongest in the world, and it would be nice to finish my career saying I have played at the very top in Spain, Italy, and England.

‘‘There is not many who can say they have done that, and if that does happen for me I would only want it to be with Manchester United.‘‘

:devil:
 
I could see him leaving Inter the longer FSW is at Inter
 
Biggest in a while, I tend to judge best based on how the player plays for the club
 
The cynic in me suspects that those quotes from Sneijder are made up by some rag to sell papers. It would be completely counterintuitive for a distinctly visible player like him to publicly proclaim his attraction to United while still playing for Inter.

Contract neg stalled, could just be playing hardball.
 
The price tag will be too huge to be honest. A lot of great players have admired United in the past but unfortunately not many of them have actually gone on to join us.

I don't remember that. Was it Casillas or his agent?
 
Quite a change in tone from Sneijder, considering his stance during the summer. Tired of Benitez already?

Isn't this the same shit he said in the summer before denying any of it. Cock tease. I doubt he'll ever play for this club. If Ferguson wanted him we would have gone for him last summer.
 
Its simple really. Sneijder is in talks to get the best deal possible at Inter. His agent states the players admiration for United So Inter Panic and give him what he wants!!

How a rotten rag like the Daily Star that recently has claimed in the past we will definitely resign Ronaldo and that Benzema is a done to United... gets any respect from football fans is beyone me. Boy cold we use a player like Sniejder though!Bit injury prone though and thats why Fergie didnt go for him when he was going for peanuts!
 
I Can't see it happening. He's a great footballer and Anyone can tell he'd improve us massively. But everything about the club right now suggests we won't be signing top players anytime soon.
 
If there is absolutely ANY chance that Sneijder indeed won't sign a new contract we must do whatever we can to get this guy.

Another top class performance. Great assists great goal. Great great player.
 
We were linked with him since his Ajax days, RM just came in and slapped a huge transfer fee at him...

Could have got him from RM but decided that Obertan/Owen/Valencia were enough...

No we want him at 30m ? I don't think so...

Heard that we are linked with Defour for 15m if I'm not mistaken.
 
Apparently he wants a pay raise from £76k to £110k per week from Inter.
 
Well he's one of the top 10 midfielders in the world at the moment IMO, therefore he should be on par.
 
Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder could be set to commit his future to the Italian champions as club president Massimo Moratti claims he will sign a new deal.

Wesley Sneijder attracted interest after fine displays at the World Cup finals

Sneijder was one of the best players at the 2010 World Cup as his performances helped Netherlands to the final and the midfielder has recently been linked with a €30 million move to Manchester United.

It was reported that the 26-year-old failed to agree terms on a new contract at the San Siro last Thursday, but Moratti insists that the Dutchman will be staying at the Treble winners.

"I think this week he will renew his contract," Moratti told Sky Sport 24.

Sneijder has two-and-a-half-years left on his current Inter deal and appears to be focused on his future at the club, as he has spoken of his desire to link up with international team-mate Ibrahim Afellay.

The PSV playmaker will leave Holland in January and is reportedly being targeted by a number of top European clubs, including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, although Sneijder says he wants him to move to Milan.

"Afellay is ready to leave the Netherlands," Sneijder told Voetbal International. "To [the city of] Milan would be good. I told him this personally, he knows how highly we regard him at Inter."

can't be surprised by that though. People can argue we should have got Robben and Sneijder and 30/40 million maybe for Ronaldo. Why would we suddenly think Sneijder for 30+ millions a great idea?

Essien was a United fan, lets tap him up :)

Probably could have had Sneijder, Robben and Van Der Vaart and £40 million - we were in a great bargaining position.

Shame - missed opportunity.
