Good age
Decent transfer fee for one of the best CMs around
Wages you would expect for a player of his calibre slotting into a team as one of the best players there
Yeah that sounds like a horrible deal. Or, people need to move with the times.

Extra Muppet Info: Inter are also reportedly targeting Banega as well - for £8mil
PLUS Motta has declared he's staying at Inter.A lot of people getting carried away on a certain social site with all this Inter CM activity
He wouldn't slot into the team, as a better player is currently in his position.
Do you not think he's just biggin up Dutch players... afterall he is Dutch..
He doesn't really play the same position as Rooney though, does he? I mean I know it's become popular for caftards to state it as fact, but it doesn't make it true. Sneijder has played CM many times and done a fantastic job there. He has all the attributes. Obviously he's more attacking minded, but so what? We have grinders in CM already, it's passing and creativity that we're lacking from CM.
What other big clubs needed a Keeper like De Gea?
All the top clubs weren't in the market for a Keeper (Arsenal dont count), they already had their keeper situation sorted - we didnt. There's no red herring involved with this one imo!
Rene, obviously being a football man can tell a class act when he see's one - just like us. Its obvious he would saying something like that if he was asked his opinion of the possibility of Sneijder comin to us. Sneijder is a class act & i'd love to see him at OT ahead of Nasri. I'd love Modric to come aswell, but he looks Chelsea bound!
Despite that not being his best position and despite him not playing there consistently since 2007/08 season? Apart from that, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't blow a king's ransom on him
Good player but not what we need IMO, certainly not at the sort of figures being bandied about for him anyway.
No, he does.
Both play best as an AM in the hole, when was te last time Sneijder played well in CM?

Different players, but Villa are lookin £19/20million for Steward Downingsyndrome & Inter are after Banega for £8m - feck sake thats a steal. We should all chip in & buy him for Goodness sake!
Dunno bout that! Lesbians are pretty street wise
Nah, he's not restricted to that role. Rooney plays higher up the pitch than Sneijder and while Rooney is a very good passer, he can't control a game with it like Sneijder can. As I said, Sneijder has all the attributes to play extremely well in CM as long as you put Carrick, Fletcher or Anderson beside him with suitable wingers, or a combination of two of them.

Yes. Because players forget how to play football when they get put into a different position. Like Rooney playing best up front and being shunted onto left wing and still remembering how to play football.
Like has already been said he has played fantastically at CM before.
The figures quoted are not a kings randsom. Ronaldo is a kings randsom.
But as always, Caftards know better than the coaching staff who know exactly what the club is looking for and what system we play/are going to play and how they expect players they are interested in to fit into that play.
It doesn't work like that, Sneijder would leave you very light on personnel who are in some way capable of defending, unless there were two midfielders with him, meaning he would replace a striker and move the best player at the club (and a better player than Sneijder fwiw) out of his best position.
This signing would be very Veron, we all know how that turned out.
I know I will probably get tracked down by a gaydar and shot with a homophobogun for laughing, but this made me grin.
Safe in the knowledge that the first round has your name on it.
That's the point though. He actually hasn't. His best spell of form there was during the opening weeks of 2007/08 but thereafter, he never got it together playing there and was subsequently shipped out of the Bernebeu. Inter got him and used him in his proper position and he's excelled. Buying him for megabucks on the back of his form as a 10 and then using him in very much his secondary position doesn't make sense, if we were talking for the price Inter got him for(£13-£15m)then it might be worth a gamble but not at £35m+ with a £250,000 p/w salary to go with it.
What planet are you on regards the second point? £35m+ is huge money to be parting with. And his net salary is up there with any footballer in the world. They are huge sums even in the light of Ronaldo's value.
Course the coaching staff on here know better than us, that's why we won't be doing business with Inter anytime soon for him. Mark my words, Sneijder won't be coming here now, and probably never will considering his age and our penchant for buying potential rather than established talent at sky-high values.
feck potential - we need an established mid-fielder, i fact we need two & United know that. Do you think Fergie's gonna wait for 2-3 years for the potential to rise. He wants Big Ears next season, he pretty much alluded we got taught a lesson in mid-field in the final - he'll be lookin for experience & proven right now!

Easy for them to say.
I reckon I know SAF's plan.
-----Fletcher------
--Rooney-Sneijder--
Sneijder is the Xavi role, Rooney in the Iniesta role.
Nani--Hernandez--Young in front of them. With Valencia/Nani and Young rotating. When ready, Rooney can also swap with Hernandez bringing Giggs into the midfield for extra creativity and wizadry. Anyway, thank me when we've won the Carling Cup by scoring a hundred goals in a single game against Norwich.

Easy teams 4-4-2

Tougher sides 4-2-3-1

With Sneijder and Rooney in a team you want Hernandez in your big games to stretch the defences and provide the runs for 2 of the games best passes.
Would look more like
----------------------Fletcher/Carrick/Jones
---------------Rooney----------------Sneijder
Valencia-----------------------------------------Young/Nani
--------------------------Hernandez
Has this been mentioned?
Translation: New Inter coach Perio Gasperini was officially presented on Tuesday and it seemed like he was already trying to talk about Sneijder possibly departing. ''Sneijder is, without a doubt, a great player but nobody knows what will happen in the next 50 days. Inter will be a stronger team - and when Ibrahimovic left two years ago, the team was stronger than before.''
I don't know if that's tongue in cheek or wether it's to early to drop Rooney back that far but that might just work you know!
Well, it is tongue in cheek but it's not unfeasible. It's a question of whether the technique is good enough and whether SAF believes we have the required technique. Nani/Young/Giggs/Rooney and of course, speculatively Sneijder, probably do have the tekkers.

the signs that he will leave are all there, however I still think that he ll go somewhere else probably City or Chelsea. Apart from financial issues, Berbatov aside, the club is not spending large amount of money in transfer fees for players aged 26 and over. Unless of course Sneijder desperately wants to join us and Fergie decides to make an exception - which i do not think it's the case
Mind you, I wont lose sleep if I m wrong on this one..
take the issue away from copying Barcelona (Xavi/Iniesta role comparisons) and just look at how United played last season. If we were to sign Sneijder, the issue is simply, imo, can he play the role Giggs played for us last season - particularly towards the end of the season. That is the role, imo, he would have at United. Sure that leads towards a comparison with how Barcelona are set up, but seeing how he fits into a formation we know Fergie likes and Rooney thrives in. I think he could do it, and do it very well. I also think it would give us a greater flexibility to move Rooney to the striker postion with Sniejder in the hole and 2 CMs (Carrick/Fletcher/Anderson) behind him.
As to your proposed question - of course the technique would be there - it is the defensive ability of that line up that I would worry about. On the ball I feel we would be fine, getting it might be the issue. Sneijder and Carrick isn't as defensively solid, imo, as Giggs and Carrick.
Well that's it, we're not getting him. Bollox.
Part of me is starting to think that our transfer market has finished for us.
Nothing new .. they re just recycling what Muulenstein said and the Mirror story
It's the same Mirror story...
Why won't you let us dream? Why!?
That's it, I'm off to the Bridgewater medical centre.
No value.
