Gazzetta: Sneijder completes €36m move to City (continued)

[burning blue soul]

Same old inferiority complex as with the Aguero deal and many others from some City fans. If we WANT Sneijder we have as much of a chance of getting him as anyone. The guy worships money and will go to the highest bidder,

now THAT is the spirit!!!! :)

Maybe missing something here but heard reports today he wants to go to the rags not us - if he does go then Rags get next years PL or at very least finiash above us

Talkshite are reporting that sneijder has said he wants to join it's and has been in unofficial talks with them,don't know if any quotes were from wes or a source and it is talkshite.

Here's from the Transfer page of the Gazzetta dello Sport, a post made 9.55 this morning, and they have not moved a millimeter from when they originally broke these news exclusively last weekend:

9.55 — Mercato Inter: Wesley Sneijder entro Ferragosto non sarà più un giocatore nerazzurro. Passerà al Manchester City, club con il quale la cessione è stata già perfezionata, e con anche Eto'o in uscita, il club di Massimo Moratti ha necessità di pianificare un'offensiva sul mercato. Uno dei primi obiettivi, di cui si parla da tempo, è l'argentino Tevez, rientrato al City (da dove però vuole andare via), disposto a calarsi l'ingaggio. Le altre opzioni dell'Inter sono Kucka (vicinissimo l'accordo con il Genoa) e Lavezzi del Napoli, con il quale si lavora per uno scambio con Pandev.

It says:
9.55 — Inter's transfer market: Within August, Wesley Sneijder will no longer be a nerazzurro. He will go to Manchester City, the club with which the sale has already been concluded, and with an Eto'o on his way out, Massimo Moratti's club needs to plan an offensive move on the market. One of the first objectives, which has been talked about for a long time, is the Argentinian Tevez, who is back at City (from where he wants to leave, though), and he is ready to lower his wages. The other options for Inter are Kucka (very close for an agreement with Genoa) and Lavezzi from Napoli, for whom an exchange deal with Pandev is being hammered out.


I don't know what it's worth to you, but for me it can't be clearer than this: Another categorical statement that Sneijder is a done deal for City. For Gazzetta to insist with this, they know things that others don't know, or they are risking their reputation on a gamble.

The way Gazzetta back their story, it would be unprecedented if it turned out to be false, or even worse, a guess.

Being completely ignored but the message from italy is consistent.

Of course, had the message been he had signed for the rags, SSN and every major media outlet in the UK would be all over this like a rash!

I would assume it was these ones.
Asked if he was keen on a move to Manchester United, Sneijder said in a video interview with nos.nl, he said: 'Yes, but Manchester United haven't made an official approach yet.

'There have been unofficial talks, there have been contacts, but then there are always contacts. I have contacts with everybody.'

Seems odd to me that some of you would rather take the reports out of the buying country than the selling one. Not to mention Uniteds influence in the media.

i wonder if they even bothered to ask him would he like to play for manchester city???? or did they just ask him about utd!!!! the end bit is interesting as well....i have contacts with everybody??

if the sale was 'concluded' like the Italian paper said, the latest comments from the player himself or even VDV would have been said, they would have deflected them more. His future is still very much up in the air.

If anything, he's "agreed" that he'd join us if we were interested in him and pay him what he wants, not that all parties have agreed.

I think Bobby flat refusal that we are interested in him would indicate that we are not his first choice - would love him to come and much much better than Nasri imo
