Him playing well in the WC and in Inter is not the same as guaranteed success in the PL. Many players look good playing in orange, and many players look good playing in italy as well. From what I have seen from Sneijder, and that's a whole lot, he seem to be that type of player that wants all the action happening where he is. Often taking shots from stupid positions, likes hanging on to the ball in dangerous areas, not wanting to do the full job of a midfielder nor of a striker. A bit of a luxury player that Mourhino gave full support with Cambiaso and Motta behind + turning what was suppose to be a "3 man attack" into a one man (milito) and then having hard working Pandev into taking the flanks while probably torturing Etoo into doing the same job on the right. He's effective on his day, but can might as well fail. Very uncertain card to play and now time is well past it to talk about any sort of deal.
