Both sides have apparently denied it.

I'm sure if it was true/close... they just wouldn't comment.

The Sky story won't be bollocks.

Quite clearly, they have contacted the club about Sneijder and the club have denied it.

I have no doubt Sky are being accurate and truthful in reporting that.

The question is, are the club being accurate and truthful in their denial?

Would they deny interest in a player one day only to sign him a few days later?

1. Sky's "City source" is absolutely shit. He said we signed Nasri a month ago until they massively backpeddled to "City launch bid for Nasri" then "City interested in Nasri". Prior to this, they did the same for Higuain, Gago, Parker, Ronaldo, Kaka and many, many others. Whoever they have at City is a WUM and completely unreliable. All of their stories about people signing for us come directly from our website. City's ship is very, very tight.

2. Nobody at either City or Inter is stupid enough to say "yes, he is signing" whilst he is still playing for another club.

3. Gazzetta would never run with something like this on the fron page unless they had it nailed on from somewhere. This talk about correcting bias and the like is rubbish, they are a professional news organisation and breaking a world exclusive of this size that turned out to be false would wreck their reputation in one hit. They would have done their homework on it.

Direct quote from Sky Sports News (the only place reporting about City's denial):

"Sources at the club this morning have denied reports in Italy that they have agreed a deal for Wesley Sneijder, well Manchester United have been linked with the Dutch midfielder all summer and it's been reported that the neighbours have made a move for him but our sources are telling us that that's not the case."

They've denied that they've 'agreed a deal' for Wesley Sneijder, so if the deal is 99.9% done then strictly speaking they haven't lied.

Wouldn't be the first time a newspaper got a transfer story wrong.

We'll know after the Inter game, or maybe even before.

A correct analysis.

City have said nothing.

Inter's CEO said "it's speculation", not "it's rubbish".
