flying wingers catch the general public's imagination 9/10 over a lad who keeps things ticking.
mind you, there's still 2 massive matches left to be played. If Sneijder scores in either one and the dutch win out, Sneijder will get it.

Wonder why United did not go for Sneijder and Madrid released him.
I've been appreciating a good football game without screaming and crying about a player we didn't sign.
I needn't ask how you are. I assume that every passing day we don't sign an exciting new player is very painful for you.
A newbie just PMed me:
I agree with the last part especially.Everest Red said:can you mention that the deal with inter was place ages ago, and ask a mod anyone who mocks fergie to be banned.........ok not the last part
Not if Robben creates one of them...

Clearly the same story appearing in such reputable papers means it must be true.
this would be united true to form to buy him for 2-3 times the price when there was a potential opportunity a year ago.
it would be a superb, yet humourous signing.
There are so many reasons this wont happen that I'm surprised even the sun are bothering making up a story.
Its funny that both papers claim that this is an exclusive story.
He would be a superb signing
It won't happen. Why would Milan sell him?
rafa won't sell us a virus.
Exactly. They dont even have a player called Sneijder.
Never going to happen.
If he wants to move on and they're getting Mascherano then it wouldn't surprise me if he left, however I don't see him coming to us.
First Villa, now Sneijder. Next month it would probably be Messi....
I doubt Inter would sell him but with genius rafa at helm anything is possible.
you do have to wonder, don't you.First Villa, now Sneijder. Next month it would probably be Messi....
Are United leaking 'interest' in players they have no chance in getting so when no one is signed come Sep 1st they can say - oh we tried to sign Villa, and Sniejder, and Messi and Fabregas and Torres so we obviously have money and the debt is obviously not a problem.
No the interest in Villa was known months ago. Why everyones acting as if it's something new surprises me. His agent was whoring him all over Europe, the agent also said we were the only Prem team he would beinterested in going to so we probably did take a look. It's funny, if were linked with a player were going to buy it is happily rubbished but now when a bullshit rag links us it's another sign that Ferguson is lying and we have no money, instead of it being treated like bullshit anymore.
We're a year too late for Sneijder. Shame.
But Fergie said Villa was 'always going to Barcelona' so we never actually had a chance of getting him, regardless of whether we 'took a look' or not. Any reported interest in him was pointless based on the fact we (United and the staff) knew there was never a chance of it happening.
Same with Sneijder imo - if United really thought he was good enough, and worth 25million, why on earth did we show no interest AT ALL in signing him for half that price 12 months ago, having already done a deal with Madrid that summer? It makes no sense at all.
and for Robben for that matter.
£40m? £30m? £25m?
The media have no idea of his value.

So for the first then it reads as, we would have liked him but he didn't want to come here, a bit like Benzema last year. That doesn't make it anything to do with the debt, Glazers or that Fergies a liar. There's no actual real link that were even interested in Sneijder, Ozil or any player at the moment. It's either a player saying he would like to play for us or pure paper speculation.
Whos to say we are in for them or were ever interested.
Well the Robben interest is obvious, not from last year mind but still. The Sneijder one is the classic "players does well at a world cup, link him with a big move".
Of course if the Sneijder interest is real then he'd be a brilliant signing but with Rafa at the helm i doubt we'll be doing any business with them.
Oh, and
at the taking Lucas to Inter bit, if that happens he really does love Liverpool.The robben interest was over 6 years ago. We don't need him now. Who ever has a good game tonight lets see which team they're linked with.Well the Robben interest is obvious, not from last year mind but still. The Sneijder one is the classic "players does well at a world cup, link him with a big move".

Oh, and
Read it fine. We didn't lose out last year nor are we a year to late. We are not after him thats all.
Jesus, some people will be going to work/school with cum stained trousers today
That's just me being pedantic.
I wouldn't be surprised if Steklenberg(?) is the next name linked with us from the Dutch squad.
For Uruguay Perez has been superb, surprised his name hasn't been banded about much.
Funny you should mention that, theres newspapers in the netherlands saying were in for him to replace VDS according to the web.
If SAF uses Villa or Sneijder as excuses for not spending money then you're right.
I'll never quite figure out why we din't go for either him or robben or higuain last summer. Real were so desperate they would have thrown in a player AND 80m upfront.
Just a question, if say we don't sign anyone else this summer as Ferguson doesn't want to get anyone else then whats wrong with that?
AND there would have been "value" in the deal
We didn't want them. Simple as, Ferguson wanted Valencia, Benzema, Obertan and Diouf instead. We only got Owen because Benzema fell through.
You see! It's piss easy this journalism lark, throw in some "senior figure" quotes from your mate Dave and you're away.
It's like they don't even try anymore.
