When was the poll on whether we should have another Sneijder article...?
 
[Have a Thumbs Up!]
Agree, he will leave, to where, I don't know (I don't think he knows yet either..]
Part of me would love to have him, a Front six of Lucas, Gerrard, Sneijder, Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling/Borini would be very tasty!
The other part of me doesn't want to run the risk of another Joe Cole episode, comes in for big money, does feck all..

I agree, I think it's obvious he doesn't want to go to Turkey (can't blame him!) & he's biding his time waiting for a more suitable option to appear.
The nearer the end of the window comes, the more hats will land in the ring for Sniejder imo.

He's got a reputation for being an egotistical twat at times, but his quality on the pitch is top, top drawer.

Personally I'm very surprised that United haven't shown an interest yet.

Seen rumours that Sneijder and RvP don't get along. Possibly why...:huh:

United cannot spend on yet another 28 yo with no value on a contract and massive wages. RvP has cost them a serious amount including wages, they'll need to win the prem and CL this year to balance that one alone <laugh>

a manc said to me on the banter thread he RvP was 27<laugh> he's 29 aint he?

They fell out a few years ago whilst playing for Holland & there was a bit of a press spat between them.

However, I've never had Ferguson down as a man who'd allow something like that to stop him buying a player that he thought would benefit his team.

Apparently Van Persie and him detest each other.

True, Cole and Yorke didn't get on but they were a great partnership (or was it Cole and Sheringham?). Guess it depends on how much they don't get on. No point in risking what you have either.

The fee is only £6M so I don't think it's comparable to the RvP deal. Wages are wages irrespective of age.
 
Isn't it a dutch thing where the egos always **** up a brilliant squad? Before RvP and Sneijder wasn't it David or Seedorf and someone?

It was Sheringham & Cole as I remember it. They had a genuine dislike of each other
 
The Dutch always seem to have a fall out at the major tournaments <ok>

Was it 2008 or 2004 the Dutch had one of the best teams and then just fell to absolute pieces because of it. Cost many a manager a job, even the great Van Basten!

I just think it's the pinnacle of fkn childishness. We all work with people we don't like ff.

Look at the Riise and Bellers thing <laugh>

I reckon Robin asked for the ball and Wesley said No and it all went to **** from that point onwards.
 
Lets be right, if Ferguson wants him, he'll get him.

Time will tell if his previous reported interest was right or not.

Yeah, that's why he just wasn't interested in going to united a couple of years ago when Fergie DID want him<doh> long with Ozel Ribery after Ronny left and who else? That's why he buys Hernandez Kagawa and Jones types when he can have the cream of Europe at his whim<ok>
