So maybe it shows the club are going to buy in the transfer window, or more likely bullshit

Why on earth would Moratti, the president of Inter, claim that we are interested if we aren't? It would serve no purpose to him and only escalate the value of Sneijder's next contract at Inter.

So i think we can safely say IF he has been quoted verbatim, then we are interested and we are on the market for a 'big name' player.
 
Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder is ready to commit to his long-term future to the club, according to his agent.

The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has been linked with a move to Premier League side Manchester United, following an impressive World Cup.

Sneijder, whose Inter contract expires in 2013, has fired Holland to the final in South Africa and will be hoping the Oranje can go all the way for the first time in their history.

He also had a great domestic campaign with the Nerazzurri last term, as under the stewardship of Jose Mourinho Inter won a remarkable treble, which included the UEFA Champions League title.

Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is now in charge at the San Siro following Mourinho's departure to Real Madrid, and the Spaniard will not want to lose one of his prize assets.

Sneijder's agent Soren Lerby believes the Dutch star wants to stay at the club and is ready to renew his contract until 2015.

He told De Telegraaf: "Wesley could stay at Inter until 2015. After the World Cup, we will go to Milan, we will sit around a table with the officials."

Meanwhile, Inter president Massimo Moratti believes Manchester United have made an offer for the player, but that he has no desire to sell.

He added: "I think the offer is real, but I haven't asked as I don't want to fall in to temptation.

"I'm following him at the World Cup and I think I'll do the same also at Inter for the next years."

So he's a year into his current 4 year deal and wants to renegotiate because he's had a good world cup? Players and their agents are greedy cnuts, clubs should be able to renegotiate their wages down if they play shit for a year.
 
Surely not!

it's the same thing that happened when we did make a bid for benzema....we bid for a player knowing there is no chance of landing him.

It's like one of the caftards asking Miss universe for a date....he knows that she ll say know but in the meantime he could tell everyone that at least he tried ...

renegotiations are voluntary. in club-player negotiations, a club could try to renegotiate a player's wage down but the only leverage you would have would be "i will sell you if you don't take a lesser wage". for superstar players, the demand is so high that they can say, well fine sell me and another club of the samestature usually will pick them up. or the player might pull a bogarde and just stay at the club, train, and pickup the wage and sit the contract out.

it also sets a horrific precedent as if a club started to do that, then top players would not want to come, thereby hurting you in the transfer market.

i personally think we should be renegotiating berba's wage down.
 
Hoepfully Rafa pisses him off so that he wants to leave. Plus im sure Rafa will not want to win the league with Mourinhos squad and will want to assemble his own masterclass side ...
 
It could be one of those deals that might take us by surprise. Mourninho has plenty fof attacking options already, and Sneijder has already said he wouldn't fancy a return. Barca have other irons in the fire. Chelsea and City are the most likely destinations, but I think City will have enough midfielders, and Mancini doesn't like to be too attacking in midfield.

I presume he'll stay, but if he is inclined to look for a move, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that he might join us.
 
People. There is more chance of Anderson being our top scorer next year than us buying Sneijder.
 
According to some of the tweets, we have offered £19.65m for Sneijder.

Moratti's coment's confirm our interest in WS. That is good! It means Inter are open for discusion if the offer is right.

It will all come down to the player's will. As far as I can see this the type of player we need.
 
I would find it a very bit of odd business if we get him for x amount when we probably could have got him free included in the Ronaldo deal.
 
Holy Shitbags it's actually real.

I'm not surprised in the slightest. A blind man can see he is exactly what our midfield needs and Ferguson already stated things need freshening up.

I think Moratti is calling it out in public to try and get City, Chelsea and Madrid involved.

I can't see Chelsea getting interested, City would not surprise me although I can't see how they need him now they have Yaya and Silva and Madrid have been rumoured with Mourinho there but woul Perez really go back and pay double for a player he let go on the cheap after kicking around the fringes for a while?

Fingers crossed, I'm not going to hold my breath but it has the same noises coming out of it as when we were after Hargreaves and Berbatov...
 
Can I be the first with a tinfoil hat to say:

Any interest we've shown in Sneijder is simply because we know Inter will not sell but, this is a way for the club to say - he look we offered X amount of money but, for whatever reason the deal didn't work out. See we do have money.

This is all a ploy to try appease part of the supporter base.

/tinfoil hat taken off.
 
the only reason why i can see sneijder wanting to leave is if he wants to be like jose and be champion of all the major leagues in europe.

this could be a very real posibility actually. I mean, how many players have won la liga, serie a, and the prem?

We'd only have got him for free in the most basic sense, getting him in the Ronaldo deal would have reduced the amount we'd have got for Ronaldo. IT's possible that Ferguson didn't feel he was worth the amount that Madrid would knock off the £80m.
 
Rafa won't let him go and Morrati won't put him under any pressure to do so following their CL win last season(and considering how much he has in the bank).

He is also a player tailor made for playing as a central AM in Rafa's prefered 4-2-3-1 formation so I can't see why we would have a hope in hell of getting him.

City = No Champions League, Sneijder is not like Toure or Silva, he'll put silverware, history and other football reasons first.

Chelsea = Possible after Ballack, Deco leaving, have Boswinga as a team mate.

Madrid = Can't see him going back after being ditched for Kaka, if he's got that little pride he might as well join City.

US = History, Silverware, Best manager, Van Der Sar as team mate, probably more influencial than Boswinga as VDS is well respected Dutch International.

Portuguese. What's the connection with Sneijder? They've never even been clubmates.

Erm. What does a random Portuguese right back have to do with Sniedjer?

We can only speculate about that. He did after all go for only 12m.
It could also be that Fergie didn't feel at the time any of the players RM were looking to get rid of would improve the team so never pursued the negotiation of the inclusion of anyone. Had he wanted Sneijder at the time, who knows he may have got him + 80m.
 
According to some of the tweets, we have offered £19.65m for Sneijder.

Lawlz.

"Look, we went for Villa, but he was always going to Barcelona. Then we went for Sneijder but they, surprisingly, turned down a huge bid of 19,65 million. There's just no value in the market, I'm happy with the squad."

Go stick that 19,65 million up your arse is what I imagine Inter will tell Fergie and co. But then again, Fergie and co knew that when they made the bid.

£19.65m eh? :lol: That's what I call an exact numer. Maybe our next offer would be £21.39 .99p

I don't believe all these stories tbh. Even if we are interested, even if he likes to come here I don't think Inter would let him go for less than 30m. And I don't think Fergie would pay that.

Well Moratti has offically confirmed we have declared our interest.

I don't think Real Madrid would be that stupid, making a world record bid, then United turning round and saying we'll only accept it if you give us a player for free as well, and Real Madrid saying 'OK then' and giving away a £12m asset.

The offer was probably made in Euros, if it was even made at all.

funny quote tho - the president "thinks" the offer is real and doesn't want to listen to it because he could be "tempted".

If there's a real offer he should know for sure. If he goes out and says that if there is a tempting offer he could let him go I guess that's a red alert for the likes of Chelsea and Shitty.

Why not? we probably could have got a bit more out of them, it not like are hands were tied to sell Ronaldo(or maybe we were, Glazers etc), as far as I am aware we accepted their first offer, IMO I find it a little odd as well after all the chasing RM did over the summer we didn't try and milk them for more..

Messi could be next. After all Barca are in financial trouble. ;) :angel:

If we did offered 19m for Sneijder then you're right. At 19m we would probably be able to sign his boots.

WHere did you get the "think" bit from?

"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn't look into it in an attempt not to fall into temptation," Moratti told Sky Sport Italia.

"I'm following him at the World Cup and I think I'll do the same also at Inter for the next years."


Sounds to me like:

United have made an official approach but I haven't yet looked at the details in case it's too good to resist.

I'm enjoying watching him at the World Cup (and here comes the typical "he'll be here for many years to come" line....) I think he'll be at Inter for the next few years (I.E we're not letting you havehim that easily.)

Which is all fine and dandy, but I'm sceptical as to whether we can come up with an offer they can't refuse, in the first place.

24m Euro's. No doubt add on top of that League and Champions League Bonus's and your probably looking at about 30m Euros. Something that would surely have to be considered?
