He didn't rule Nasri out, he just said he thought it was unlikely as the player seemed to be looking elsewhere.
Wesley Sneijder
- Thread starter RedLars

Let me translate. When manager asks their own questions for which they provide the answer - the are only trying to answer a specific question. They don't want to be drawn on any other question.
Inter already said earlier in the window that they've done well in the transfer window over previous summers so nobody was indispensable which is code for "We could Sell Sneijder"!
Here they won't answer the question as they've had no offers - and they would prefer to be a reluctant seller (which inflates the price) rather than a keen seller (which deflates it!)- hence they do not invite bids but are keen to state (sending a message to United) that they haven't received any.
Love this: Sneijder is an Inter player. All I can say at the moment is that we aren't planning to sell him but anything could change!
AGreed - think we should have an Android App for Redcafe. keep looking but never find one!!
I'm off to bed fully expecting Sneijder to officially be a Red when I wake up, wish me luck...
You planning on going into a coma?
Don't count on it. I once had a dream of Villa walking down a corridor with SAF, with the press in pursuit. Worst morning ever.
No one heeds my curtain call? Though director of Inter said no sale.
United chief in Wes talks
(Just as SunSport predicted)

MANCHESTER UNITED were close to sealing the £35million transfer of Wesley Sneijder last night - just as SunSport predicted.
United chief executive David Gill was ironing out the final details with representatives of the midfield star and Inter Milan.
Gill had stayed behind in Manchester to complete negotiations on the club record transfer when Alex Ferguson and his squad flew out to the United States on Monday.
We told you exclusively yesterday that United wanted the 27-year-old Dutchman.
It is a dramatic swoop by boss Ferguson, who will now have spent more than £85m on four players this summer after also buying Phil Jones, Ashley Young and goalkeeper David De Gea.
He always knew he would need a world-class replacement for Paul Scholes - and Sneijder fits the bill perfectly.
United legend Gary Neville said: "Sneijder is a player with great football intelligence."

Didnt they also predict sanchez was joining united
And that Gill had gone to Barcelona to meet Pozzo.. Something that no one has confirmed and pozzo isnt exactly shy of mentioning clubs interested in Sanchez
---Fletcher-----Carrick
---------Sneijder
Nani----------------Young
---------Rooney
Come on, I am excited.

Pozzo did mention meeting with United.
Telegraph said:
Pfft, but I thought it's because of the Glazer's that we havn't been signing so called world class players?
Another day, still no one has a clue.
I can't see the actually quotes where he says that.
there is no quote, its all guessing at the moment.

I think he is too old for the money. I am not doubting his talent, but that is a lot of money and a lot of wages.
when.
linky?
Not seen a huge amount of him but was very impressed with his perf. vs Chelsea - just hope he has enough ambition left to motivate similar levels for the next few years if he comes.
Plenty of "value" in this providing he performs and we could get at least 6/7 years out of him or even sell him on and recoup a bit if Pogba, Morrison and Tunny come through
Looks like it's on, and just down to the haggling
Fergie's comments just designed to put the ball in their court same as the Nasri remarks were to put the ball in Nasri's.

Branca said he's not for sale, he's untransferable - what more clue we need?
Another one bites the dust

Posturing, that's the way it works.

He's not old! He's only just turned 27 this month. Where as this come from all of a sudden? Lots of people seem to be saying this now.
We can't just have a squad full of players in their early twenties. You need the balance and at the moment the midfield could use someone who's at the peek of his game. Like Sneijder.
EXCITING breaking news.

Could you provide a source for your more encouraging version?
I don't disagree about the need for some squad balance nor do I question his ability.
My point is that 35-40 million Euros is a lot of dosh and there must be better options at that pricepoint.

I don't think there's anyone near his ability and I think the price reflects this. We're talking about one of the better players in world football and I personally think €35m would be a bit of a coup.
I think a real coup would be Nasri at £25m, but we know that isn't going to happen.
There are a lot of caf members who think Sneijder will be an instant fix for our midfield problems. I am unconvinced.
To the Modric thread then.
Exactly my fellow villager. People taking the words of Italian Presidents as gospel are idiots.

It's nor only Mirror is it that's reporting this.
The Sun, Telegraph and Times also reporting the same thing.
Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport don't, though, they stick to Sky's version.
I have literally never passed on one of these before, as they are never normally reliable, but...
Somebody I would very much trust, with a genuine contact at the club, claims Sneijder is in or on his way to Carrington today.
