Don't delude yourself... We were interested from last year. He was most probably our top target and if what is said about the salary is true.... That would probably be the reason for us pulling our interest, hence to sudden Nasri interest.
I agree. If we could have matched his wages, I believe he would have been an United player.
But, sense prevailed.
It probably did and not a bad thing either. Would have really pushed the boat especially in regards to re-negotiating our current players contracts. I hope Modric and Nasri are our next in line targets, wouldn't be disappointed with either.
according to italian papers/media, eto'o is the top earner by some distance.
135k
Thats a recycle of the bollocks story earlier. Nani won't be leaving United this summer.
Ronaldo: "I stay."

If, and this is a big IF, Nani were used in 'part-exchange', how much would we be expected to pay Inter on top of him for Sneijder. Personally, I'd rate Nani at around $30 million, given what some people are going for these days that seems to be a minimum for a player who's really established himself as one of the finest attacking players in Europe. If anything it would have to be a straight swap, surely, if Sneijders valued at around the same.
Nani won't be going anywhere, we are trying to strengthen our squad not weaken it. Nani out and Sneijder in would be pointless.
Sneijder is worth about 5 to 10 million more than Nani, as Sneijder is one of the worlds best player and has been for about two or three years.
I can't see a swap deal happening myself, unless Sanchez is coming also, however if SAF replaces Nani with Young, perhaps there is some credence to this whole swap idea.
Myself, I'm not so sure.
Mate lets be honest, sneijder would be considered a much better player than nani by any neutral, and as such, would cost more. It would never be a straight swap.
Sneijder has stated time and time again that he has no desire to leave Inter. Can't see that Inter will have any desire to sell him either.
This same story is just being re-hashed by the media because they're stuck for something to talk about atm.

In those articles that were floating around yesterday, Sneijder doesn't actually pledge his future to Inter at all.
Nani out, Sanchez and Sneijder in would be a very muppetish piece of transfer business.
Won't happen. Nani out, Sneijder in would be insane, we wouldn't have enough quality on the flanks.

I know, Sneidjers at a higher level than Nani, and should cost more. My post is based on the fact that the papers seem to be quoting $30-35 million for Sneijder, so in that regard it could be a straight swap. However, I'm realistic enough to know we'd be expected to pay around 10-15 million on top.
Even though all of this is most probably a pointless debate.
we would if we signed Sanchez
Yes, we would, we'd still have Valencia on the right side, and almost certainly Young on the left. With Park, the twins, and maybe even Welbeck able to play there if needed.
No we wouldn't. Nani is the best winger out of the 3. Why would we use one of our best players as a makeweight of the deal?
Nani is the best of the 3, but we'd be using him as a makeweight to sign one of the world finest players. A (reasonably small) decrease in overall quality on the wings would be more than compensated for by the increase in quality in the centre of the park.
I'm not condoning this 'swap' deal, but I don't think the concept is totally ridiculous.
Exactly, we won't be shifting Nani anywhere this summer. It's pointless even speculating on a swap because SAF isn't a transfer muppet. He's already in the process of bringing in Young, Jones, De Gea and will be trying to get a CM too.
If at the end of the summer we've signed Young, Jones, De Gea and sold Nani we will be weakened.
Our biggest problem is CM. We definitely need Snejder there or someone of his quality. However we'll weaken one area(wing) to strengthen the CM. I don't think money is the issue to use Nani as a swap deal, because otherwise can't see us spending 30-40m pounds on CB and winger where we have more quality overall.
Not if Fergie wants Sanchez......
Basically he's a greedy git. Steer clear.
Nani is the most capable of the 3, but also the most inconsistent. I have no doubts that Nani is world class, but it has to be said that his form is often unreliable and it was no real surprise to me that Fergie opted for the much more reliable Park and Valencia in the biggest games.
While i am not advocating selling Nani, i can understand the logic of swapping a player that cannot always be relied upon to produce, in a position we have plenty of cover for, to acquire one of the best midfielders in the world to strengthen the area that needs improving the most.
Nani has been similar to Berbatov imo, at his best absolutely brilliant, but quite often doesn't live up to expectations and is subsequently little more than an impact player in the big games. So while it would be a shock if Nani or Berba were to leave this summer, i could appreciate Fergie's desire for more consistent and reliable performers in their places.
Not really for the past year or so he's been fantastic. he had a dip of form at the end of this season. He's been very consistent for a while.

Delicious cock at Carrington? What?
Swap Nani for Jack Warner?
Sneijder, today visited the U.S. on holiday in Suriname on the charity work, wearing a red Nike united United. Sneijder was quoted as saying to press officials surinese *** "I can not wait to try the delicious cooking of the Carrington training ground, renowned for the sauage and more." -
nani swap for Jack Warner and fifteen free museum tours for area United sneidjer? Surinese In other news, a man was accused of selling a chicken lack a life insurance policy. The unnamed man calls the chicken was alive when signing the deal. Last night fourteen people believed to be the great witch uchocho walking the island again, uchocho, which has sixteen arms and no head was slain by the Dutch Trust van der king leaves in 1765. The report proposes uchoco was seen outside a local supermarket where "commitment, obligation, commitment."
You could look at it that way i suppose, but if we take last year and this season into account, he finished strongly last year after a poor start and had a great start this year only to fall away when Valencia returned. Which cannot really be deemed the end of the season.
That is the more worrying aspect for me, the moment his position was under threat he lost his form and never regained it. Again i am not criticising Nani, but simply trying to remain objective with regards to his overall contribution as i have with Berbatov.
However you look at it the most telling factor with both Berba and Nani, is that Fergie clearly trusts other players to produce more consistently at the business end of the season.
Pretty sure he would be a city legend by now if he was one. They practically sniff around for talented greedy gits.
Though I'd agree with you, if its true. Stay well clear if he is one.
It says google translate
He's been our most consistent attacking player since January last year.
I think you're over-estimating how much difference Valencia made to Nani when he returned. I'd put it more down to the crunching tackle that Carragher put in on him and the injury he recieved which broke his momentum.
Nani and Berbatov aren't comparable in the slightest really, Nani has proved it against top sides in Europe and domestically whereas Berbatov hasn't. If Nani didn't pick up his injury I think he would've started in most of the big games.
"only God knows"? sounds familiar?

“The Inter fans have always treated me very well,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport. “They were wonderful and I want to simply thank them. Then, only God will decide where my future lies. I can be certain of one thing: if I remain at Inter, then I will give my all to win everything again. When you have had the greatest and most surprising year of your life, it’s only natural that the next will be less rewarding. Not everything can be perfect. Having said that, I had fun in my second year with Inter and was satisfied, even if we didn’t win everything. At least this way we still have a few more objectives to reach. I love Inter with all my heart.”
God would be a wonderful agent for Ronaldo and Sneijder.

There are also rumors of Inter being interested in Nasri. So I guess they could take Nasri and we get Sneijder. Everyone is happy
