Sneijder

[TCIB]

No !

 

[not my fault!]

No !

Why not?

 

[TCIB]

Not had the best last 2 seasons and his knees are questionable.

I feel the fee and his wages put to much in the con side of the scales when added to the above.

He is also to similar imo to how Nasri is operating and Silva. I feel those two operating in roaming forward positions enough.

Too old and would cost too much, no thanks.

Fair enough, I respect that. At least you had a decent reply other than "he's 27" :0)

i think to be honest sneijder will start to realise that no one will pay him even close to £200,000 let alone £250,000!! he would also probably be quite happy to sit in the middle and let the likes of yaya and silva dictate the play and do the running while he just picks passes etc??!?!?

If he's over his injuries then he is a good player.

We need players who are at least as good as those we currently have. So the players who come in can realistically fight for a starting place in the team. Competition for starting places is what we need to keep improving to a level where we are good enough for the Champions League.
Football is all about evolution with this squad now.

Would Thiago Silva challenge Lescott and Kompany for a starting place..?....YES, so that is why we have supposedly targetted him.


Is Snjeider as good, or better than Barry..?......again I would say, YES. But is there anyone else who is younger and offer more in this role available for a reasonable price ?.......No idea !

I think Thiago Silva could be brought in as a swap for Tevez. Snjeider is still a possibility but not as essential for this squad, as a central defender, a striker to replace those who may leave and we need a winger, if only to create the width to open up teams who park the bus, and try to hit us on the break.

And there we have it.

 

[onceabluealways]

considering that a lot of people think we needa deep lying midfielder who can spray passes around maybe replacing Barry then i can't understand why so many people don't like sneijder. He has all these abilities and more

He would also give us some midfieldcover if Yaya is injured as he is able to control the midfield

Is he a deep lying middy ?

I agree 100% we need a quality player in that position this summer, but I always thought his was a just behind the striker type role.

Then again I thought he was in his early 30's, was shocked to see he's only 27.

I think sneijder can play anywhere in the centre midfield - he's the one for Holland who picks it up off the defendes - he also supports like a number 10 - healso takes free kicks etc.

My only worry is that he is 27 - should be at his peak and Inter seem to want to get rid - maybe they no something we don't - I don't exactly watch him every week and not sure if he has regular injuries

He's on the decline.. no thanks

Shhhh! You'll have us thrown out for being sensible lol

 

[TCIB]

@ not my fault!, oh yeah err you arse and such grrr :p

To the deep playing stuff, then i would be thinking of M'Vila or Martinez tbh.

Kompany can do a job even in that area, indeed its where he started his pro career playing deep mid if memory serves. (if we had some desperate injury crisis i mean ofc don't move him their)

That mail reporter is doing a favour for a mate who works at Inter. They want him of the books so they must be stiring it.

Makes no sense to move the best central defender in the country, if not Europe or the world into a deep mid position just to "do a job".

Get M'Vila in as a De Jong upgrade with more passing skill, he can hold the middle so Yaya can do his thing. I'd also try and get Martinez to rotate with Lescott/Kompany in defence and as a midfield option too.

 

[jellert]

Why are people talking about his age. There are a lot of players who are 34 and are still the best players in their team. He's 27... Best years still have to come

 

[SWP's back]

And there we have it.

4 years younger than Barry

I'm glad I read your post, as the bit I've highlighted in bold is exactly what I was thinking. Where in God's name would he fit in with Silva and Nasri. Also, I though Nasri was blending in quite well by the end of the season, so there's a lot more to come from those two, and I'm certainly more excited by that than in signing Sneijder.

Edit: Oh, and he's 27.

Would love M'Villa at City, also like to see Ocampos at the club too.

Rotate with Barry, who can't have more than one season left, can he?

Yep, but would Sneijder be happy in Barry's role? Maybe I don't know enough about him, but from what I've been reading I thought he was more in the Silva/Nasri role? I agree that Barry can't have more than 2 good season's left in him, but if Sneijder did fit into this role, I can't really see him being happy with rotating with Barry.
