I think every club does it these days.
According to FreddieBoswell7,Sneijder wants £160,000 a week to join utd..So that figure seems right.
Total earned in a year might include image rights, which isn't usually incorporate when people tot up weekly wages (unless the journo in question is intent on making the player seem like a greedy twat, that is - which does sometimes happen)
I'm not saying he was a one-season wonder but the two seasons he was in La Liga were the two years that I watched La Liga pretty much every weekend, I've watched very little of it since but I did see Sneijder at Madrid. He had a fantastic start, two Beckham-esque free kicks and showed flair and quality passing but he was still inconsistent. He wasn't poor, he was always a very good player and tremendously technically gifted but he had a strong start and strong finish but a pretty mediocre middle.
Then in his second season, he had some injury issues, the new manager came in and didn't want him wide so played him in a deep midfield two and he wasn't great. 1-0 down at half-time v bottom club Osasuna, Sneijder's taken off and they win 3-1. 2-2 at half-time v Malaga, Sneijder off at half-time and they wing 5-3. In this case not entirely his fault as a player had been sent off, but it shows he was dispensable. Here's what some people thought of him at the time.
He then went to Inter and lived up to his potential, showed the quality for his club that he'd shown for his country previously. I can't really say what he was like for Ajax really, 18 goals in his last season is far and away his best total so I'd imagine he had a pretty standout season then. Last season he had injuries again and went back to being inconsistent.
No matter what, we'll be signing a very good player and £30m in this market for a very good creative player isn't a ridiculous amount, I'm just not sure he'll get back to that level he reached in 2010, I don't think he's one of the best players in the world. I don't think it's unfair to have reservations about his injuries, his consistency (obviously linked) and his adaptability from what he's shown since leaving Ajax.
Everyone can see his ability but there's more to it than that.
who the feck is freddieboswell7
Give him it.
van der Kraan says he has been told by quite good sources that it's £200k a week.
He was in Bread.
I know a fckin scouser,never trust a dipper.
That is the untold truth.
Though here, there is no official bid accepted either. Probably ironing out the clauses right now with the player if there is interest.
What kind of midfielder do you think we require? It depends on the Fergie's set-up. But looking at our preferred formation, I don't know if the current hopefuls Sneijder, Nasri or Modric are the solution.

Manchester United see Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder as the man most likely to replace Paul Scholes
Manchester United depart for their pre-season tour of North America on Monday with Holland international Wesley Sneijder edging ahead of Samir Nasri, the Arsenal midfielder, as the most likely replacement for the retired Paul Scholes as Old Trafford’s creative heartbeat.
Manchester United see Wesley Sneijder as the man most likely to replace Paul Scholes
Sir Alex Ferguson last month lodged a £20million offer for Nasri, who flew with Arsène Wenger’s side on their own pre-season venture to Malaysia, in an attempt to take advantage of the stalemate in the France international’s contract negotiations.
That bid remains on the table, but Manchester City’s interest in Nasri, Wenger’s determination to keep the player at Arsenal and Sneijder’s enthusiasm to engineer a move to Old Trafford have made the 27-year-old Inter Milan playmaker a more viable recruit.
Sneijder will this week meet Massimo Moratti, the Inter owner, at the Italian side’s pre-season retreat at Pinzolo to discuss his future.
The former Real Madrid and Ajax player is expected to tell the oil magnate that he would consider leaving Italy but only for a club of equal stature on the global stage.
That would appear to rule out Malaga, the Arab-owned Spanish side, who are thus far the only team to have made a firm offer for his services after informing Inter they would pay their £32million asking price. Conversely, Sneijder is prepared to agitate for a move to Old Trafford.
Moratti is also expected to convene a meeting of Inter’s board — suggestions in Milan indicate that may be as soon as as Tuesday — to discuss the possibility of allowing a player in the prime of his career to leave San Siro.
The tycoon has stressed in recent months the importance of Inter conforming to Uefa’s fair play regulations, while his new manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, is thought to have reservations over how to shoehorn Sneijder in to his preferred 3-4-3 formation. Those factors may ease Inter’s reluctance to allow arguably their highest-profile player to leave.
United traditionally line up more than one player for each position and, on occasion, are prepared to lodge offers for more than one candidate in a bid to ensure Ferguson lands at least one target.
In 2006, a deal for Villarreal midfielder Marcos Senna was withdrawn only after United were informed they would be able to sign Owen Hargreaves at the end of the season.
But while United would have no qualms over withdrawing their offer for Nasri, the club’s preference for investing in young talent does place a question mark over Sneijder.
The Holland international would also command substantial wages — perhaps as much as £200,000 a week, so as to make up for this country’s more punitive tax rates — and, at 27, his lack of resale value counts against him.
Any deal for Sneijder would only benefit City, who are keen to beat their fierce rivals to Nasri and are thought to be ready to offer the Frenchman as much as £180,000 a week — double his earnings at the Emirates — to spurn both United and his current club.
City are also considering a bid for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero, though sources at the club are adamant no firm offer has yet been made.

I think Modric would've been the most suitable for us. Personally he is the one who plays the closest to Scholes of 06/07. After that Nasri, truth to be told Sneijder is my last choice. He is probably a better player out of the three, but not sure of his suitability.
feck it, I dont want him anymore now.
Everyone back to the Nasri thread. Nothing to see here

Didnt read the article
just saw this bit which was posted
15% (EUR 45k a week) drop in gross wages
this would suggest his wages are 300k euros/week.
I find that really hard to believe.. only messi and ronaldo deserve that kind of money and even that is taking into account how marketable they are.
actually, I dont think anyone deserves it ...
if the figure includes money form his image rights, bonuses and all that then its a different matter. that much in wages is a crazy amount
Let's not forget in his first season at Madrid he was only 23 years old, the same age as Anderson is now. It's rare that players are as gifted as Fabregas at that age and it is generally the norm that Centre Mids don't mature and blossom until they are around 25 or 26 which was just the case with Sneijder. Obvious ability from a young age but really realised his potential in the treble winning season with Inter where he was in a settled role in a settled team without any injury issues.
This previous season has been far from settled at Inter and he's had his health and injury issues too. If we slot him into our midfield and give him a good clean run in the side I have no doubt he will be immense for us and as Paddy said, just imagine Rooney, Hernandez, Valencia, Nani and Young feeding off his craft.
That's what it says on his Twitter page anyway.
Agree. Similar to my thoughts, more or less. Case with Sneijder is his suitability, and after the CL there is the after-thought on squad set-up.
If it's anything to go by, the fans on an Inter board I visit are - to a man -absolutely gutted at the prospect of Sneijder leaving...so he can't be that bad. 
Also, they say that while Eto'o has twice denied that he's leaving, Sneijder has done nothing of the sort.
Also, they say that while Eto'o has twice denied that he's leaving, Sneijder has done nothing of the sort.I've said this for ages. Sneijder is more of a natural fit for United than Nasri. In Sneijder you get many of the key elements you had with Scholes in his prime. He's not a dribbler, although he's probably better than Scholes in this department, but what Sneijder will bring is that ability to dictate the pace and flow of a game. I don't think Nasri is that player, not yet anyway.
I agree with that.
Inconsistency is probably his biggest flaw and has always been... and hopefully he can stay inury free.
ONe of the best available options out there though imo.
Indeed, there's potential for it to be huge. But Sneijder has had an injury-hit season at Ajax, Madrid and Inter in the last 5 seasons alone, I don't see why we can just assume he's going to suddenly become perfectly healthy at us. And if his injuries do come back, so will his inconsistency and that's where the risk comes in. Sir Alex likes risks though, we'll see.
So he's just some anonymous internet warrior?
cocks away
Yeah i agree, we should burn Heinze...
Was working all weekend and I'm only getting wind of this now. Any truth in any of this bullshit??
Consider it as a repeat of last weeks Nasri thread, but with Nasri replaced by Sneijder.
We'll move on to Sanchez next week, then back to Modric, then Schweiny, then full circle back to Nasri...
hth
There have been a lot of journalists saying it is likely, apparently all independently of each other, but it's difficult to know how much of it is just reprinting someone else's story. Broad consensus seems to be that Inter are willing to sell but his wage demands will be a big stumbling block, given the exchange rate and tax rates, and how much he is already paid.
Every player is overrated at the Caf

How do you mean?
All of the posts I've read about Sneijder being "overrated" - it's the same with any other player it seems. Look at the Cannavaro thread, he's "overrated" in there too.
That's still a lot less than the reported £185k that Nasri would be getting at City. If that is what he wants, surely that won't be a sticking point.
Just another peak in a perennial chain of peaks and troughs on the caftard summer muppetry rollercoaster
160k a week? He's easily worth that much in the current market. I thought he'd be demanding something around 200k. If it's 160 I hope we give it to him and sign him up.
SSN reporting that Inter Milan has said that Sneijder doesn't want to leave.
cocks in
SSN understands?
