SilvaLining said:The entire wording of that article is painting the picture of Sneijder as a complete mercenary, more interested in his bank balance than anything else. Words like extravagant and substantial etc. If City do end up signing him, the media have their angle, started by this piece:
-Rags tried all they could with the different finance packages but Sneijder was being too greedy even after the rags put in ALL that effort
-We have a pay structure that can accommodate Tevez' 'hefty salary' whereas the rags have a 'carefully controlled wage structure' (of course no mention of Rooney's wage or alleged match highest earner clause), so if we do get him, we're ruining football whereas the rags are the bastions of prudence and financial responsibiity.
- All of which will result in the obvious, 'Sneijder cares more about money than playing for a team with 'history'
IMO, this article is really rather biased in favour of the rags, so aside from the whisperings from Zin, Damo and others, I would be inclined to take it with a very large shovel of salt.
