In fairness he didn't say we could or should buy them, they were just the only two he mentioned to "definitely improve what we have". |

Estimated prices...
Rodwell: £18m Schwienstei.ger:£25 Modric: £34m Sneijder: £40m You could almost get rodwell and Schweinsteiger for the price of Sniejder. Although that is the most hypothetically estimated bollocks I think I have ever posted on the Caf. |

Neither.
Sneijder - where will he play? In the hole? Isn't that Rooney position. Sneijder is not very good tracking back. If you want Rooney to play up front and Sniejder off him then that could work. Modric can play deeper than Snijder and we could still play Rooney but the cost will be astronomical easily £40m plus and he is not worth that. |

If Scholes can play in a 4-4-2, Sneijder definitely can...
People overrate the tracking back in 4-4-2. |

Modric being proven in the PL is definitely a big plus.
I think Sneijder is the better attacking player, but I think Modric holds the ball better, and is a better deep lying CM. So it's a question of what United need. A goalscoring midfielder or a CM that can retain the ball and create? I would also agree with one of the posters in the thread who said that Modric will go up another level if he goes to one of the big clubs. |

Modric can play deep, but with Sneijder we have the variations of his set pieces, his better long shots, and his mentality as a fighter in which I don't see Modric have as much as Sneijder...
1 year the difference, maybe 5m the price difference... I just think Sneijder will be the typical United warrior people will like, not that Modric won't be good but the dimension that Sneijder offers is what I'd risk. |

If for January, then Modric isn't the better choice because it's pointless to pursue a player who just isn't within your reach. The same will apply in the summer if Spurs finish in the top 4. |

I think we should for Modric as he would be a better fit for us. I really like Sneijder and was really pulling for him to come here. However, I think Modric would suit us better and he's less injury-prone.
