I see the odds on you lads signing Sneijder have been cut massively this morning !! That along with him not giving Galastary an answer and him coming out and saying his next move is not about money do you think you might be getting him ? Good buy if you get him for 8 mill
Who ever gets him will have done good work. I think he is the missing piece in that United Midfield to be honest
I'd take him at United for 8 million but by all acounts were not interest and rumours around LFC are gathering pace it seems.
Wouldn't take too much notice of betting odds. I remember we were odds on favourite for Ribery and Rivaldo at one stage! Good player but I question his desire and passion these days. For the right price, he could be a fantastic deal. But I presume he would have take a big pay cut - all depends on how serious he is about getting back into top level football or if prefers to earn one last big pay off at a lower level.
John Arne Riise has been told he is free to find a new club? Would be worth a short tern contract i think!
I think if we got Sneijder for 5 years and then he left on a free at 33 that would be good business at 9.5million a year all-in (47 for his 5 years with us). He would bring shirt revenue and even a coaching presence for the younger players. And he's not that old! at 28 he's still 4 years off Gerrard, who's about to have his wages increased from 120k and a new contract!!
only if he plays. if he doesn't play its like having 2 joe coles. if his contract was linked to playing ok... but we're not interested according to the club.
Not heard anything about Sneijder. Mind you, I haven't spoken to my mate since Monday. I'll see what he has to say and report back
I just question Sneijders attitude tbh. Seems much more focused on money than playing. Holland had a terrible year last year, which has dropped his price and interest in him, so he may still be good and would suit the front of our midfield 3.
Spoken to my mate. The Sneijder talk is "complete bollocks". He was covering the Blackpool FA Cup replay last night. It was -3 degrees and an equaliser went in on 93 mins meaning extra time. He shouted out "You fu<king little twat", not knowing that Talk Sport were talking to their man live at the time. It went out live, but wasn't that clear
Just got back from Sweden and it's as cold here as it is there. And no, I won't be able to meet up for a drink yesterday afternoon.
My view on Sneijder is this Gala have deal agreed, Sneijder defo doesnt want to go there, but may if no offer from elsewhere comes in, just to get out of Inter It seems CERTAIN Sneijder has interest from a big PL club which is why he is stalling, he wants to come to the PL no question I suspect he would accept wages of about £80k a week, if he got a signing on fee of about £2m. If there is interest from any PL club, I suspect the reason they are stalling is to makes his demands go lower and lower.The PL club could be us then again it might not be Blackpool are takin the p**s with the Ince deal, the WS fee would be about £2m more, we could revisit Ince in the summer. WS wages would be less than the amount we have saved on Cole/Sahin IMO, as hes desperate to move to PL The thing with the odds on him signing,MEANS NOTHING,it happens all the time, its happened with Ribery and Henry in the last 5 yrs, he has been backed down so bookies have lowered there odds The signing would be a MASSIVE risk though with his injury record, would prefer Eriksen, and INFINITLY prefer Isco, and he hasnt played much this season.I think its interesting that JW Henry is rumoured to be at the Norwich game on Saturday.If we sign him feel it will be a signing to apease the fans, who becoming increasingly frustrated with FSG. Do I think it will happen, possible but unlikely IMO.About 20% chance
He certainly wasnt a BR signing, on form he should hae played loads of PL minutes, its a disgrace that he hasnt.In the games hes played his form hs been as good as Sterlings
