Last 2 seasons? This season Sneijder have been pretty awful. Where you've been this season?
no no no, where have you been. Awful? IMO disillusioned. Watch him with the NT.

Problem is he's surrounded by crap, what do you want him to do? He's not built like Ronaldo or Messi. He's slow. He's tiny. We should have brought in 2/3 mids to help string a few passes together but instead we got Kharja. There's a reason we can get 40 million for this guy, its because he's pure quality. Just need to build the team around him instead of expecting him to do shit all on his own. And besides, who would you replace him with? There's not an attacking-mid out there I would replace him with.

What's more he's paid fuck all and some change. Why in the hell would we get rid of this guy????

Plus he was injury 1/4 of the season, and we dont have any creative MF who can help him..

Add to it, Leo and Benitez being our coach this season..

Worst comparison ever. Sneijder is not near 30 or past his peak. God's sake.

How about you read the entire fucking post instead of singling out a phrase and applying it to an argument I never made. I didn't single out Sneijder in that post, you did. I mentioned him along with Eto'o and JC as being our best players, 2 of which are near 30.

I'm not even advocating that we should sell him. I'm saying if we get a great offer we need to consider it. This 'untouchable' stuff is nonsense. Unlike some of the more delusional members on here, I'm not of the belief that we can keep all our best players until they're old and useless, sell off our crap assets like Chivu and Pandev and somehow raise the cash necessary to buy talent like Tevez, Sanchez, Fabregas, Sahin, whoever.

Yeah, people are a bit delusional here time to time. We can't pull of a deal even remotely resembling the Zlatan deal with players like Pandev, Chivu or even Milito. We need to use our best players for that. IMO Eto'o should be untouchable, he has shown he can carry the team by himself. Sneijder is very good but IMO he can be replaced easier, he's not your perfect type playmaker actually. Of course the deal would require some big club to offer tens of millions first. No one is selling Sneijder for 30m€ or something.

first off, why are you swearing mate? I'm not swearing, why are you :p Not sure what you're on about here, this is a "midfield rumors" thread so the implication is that you were referring to Wes. You did mention his name after all and that we should consider it... and my reply is quite simply, FUCK NO!

Actually when I quoted you I also said if a good offer arose i.e. Nasri plus 60 million, then hell yeah :D Would be stupid to say no.

I'm curious, what makes Eto'o more indispensable than Wes? Wes gave us the UCL (among other things) what has Eto'o done :p Seriously though, I want to keep them both. You forget that Sneijder is much younger than Eto'o, so there's much more to expect from him. But you want to sell him simply becuase he's our most valuable player?? That's not a good enough reason, sorry. You don't even have anyone in mind good enough to replace him. At least if you mentioned Hernanes or Nasri, but no.

Sneijder is very good but IMO he can be replaced easier
with who? Eto'o can be replaced by Tevez, no problems. Wouldn't even lose sleep over that one. Who would you replace Sniper with?

he's not your perfect type playmaker actually.
What??? No one can fuck with Wes at his best. No one. We just need to facilitate an enabling environment for him to play in i.e. surround him with decent enough passers et voila.

Look, they don't get better than Wes, they really don't and it would be stupid to replace him with lesser quality.

To those guys, who think that Fabregas is an option for us - Wake up. He is one of those guys who will definitely NOT COME. Lets think of other players instead - Sahin and co. ;)

Fair enough. And don't take the swearing personally, I'm just a foul mouthed SOB. But my post was more about, and in response to, the general idea that you should never sell your best players. Sneijder is one of those players, but I'm not talking just about him. Though I do think there's a point somewhere above 30mil and somewhere below Nasri + 60mil that it makes sense to sell, depending on the offer and who is available to purchase.

rtfU, wake up. Eto'o was crucial for our CL success and this season he has shown he can carry this team alone. Yes, he's older than Sneijder but he's also more unique. Tevez replacing Eto'o, give me a fucking break will ya :palm:

Luka wrote a pretty good post about Sneijder in Sneijder-thread:

(that button next to Luka's name leads to the post)

What I meant about Sneijder not being the best type of playmaker, that's how it is. He's not that classy playmaker who dictates the play with his stunning vision, soft touch and pin-point passes. Yes, Sneijder can pass but he's more of a direct play player, fast long passes. His touch isn't that good, it might look good when we have Deki, Motta, Cuchu, Zanetti, Kharja and go around of him.

And make no mistake, I agree totally Sneijder would be a beast if he had better, more technical players around him. The problem lies there, we don't have them and we need money to buy them. This is why I would be okay to sell Sneijder for a really big money because with that money we could buy players who would improve our squad more than just having Sneijder there (Sneijder vs 2 skilled midfielders).

i think it all depends on the next season's coach. if we r sticking with leo i say sell sneijder. sneijder operates better when he has space. if we go back to last season's style of defense and counter attack (which i think suits us better) then we should keep sneijder. players like sneijder and milito need space.

look at last year's goals. look at sneijder's assists and milito's goals. they run, they have space in front of them. but look at this season, they r always stuck outside the box with 2 or 3 defenders right next to them. last year we bought 6 of your starters. the team was built for defending and counter attacking. our defenders are slow. u cant place a slow defender in a high pressure defence.

i beleive we need 1 defender, 1 midfielder and 1 attacker. that wud need around max 80 milion. we sell maicon, milito, pandev, chivu, muntari (20+15+10+7+10=62). the rest wud come from moratti's pocket or we can sell one of our main players. i think selling eto wud make more sense. he is 30 yrs old and i think we can get 30 milions (we bought milito for 25 milion so i think 30 for eto is reasonable) out of him.

about sneijder i think if anyone is willing to pay 50 milion for him i say go for it. if fabregas costs 50 milion why not sneijder? he was one of the best players in 2010, what has fabregas done? nothing

I have a Good news sahin is free to negotiate with clubs and we are in pole position according this news.... http://translate.google.bg/translat...sl=it&tl=en&u=http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/

but the link u posted is abt ramirez!!

i think u wanted to post this one:
http://www.fcinternews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=44724
The general manager of Borussia Dortmund, Hans-Joachim Watzke, announced that the turkish director Nuri Sahin will be sold at the end of the season: "With an important offer, Sahin will leave Borussia at the end of the season. Unfortunately, we did not find an agreement for the renewal of the contract and will leave him free to negotiate with other teams. "

Apparently, though, Sahin will not be sold in Germany but abroad. Inter and Real Madrid appear to be in pole position to mediate the strong left-handed, 22 year old, with plenty of room for improvement.

I think I read somewhere that it was 6-8 weeks but since the season is almost over he won't be back this season. I hope this time Inter act instead of only being interested.

That fcinternews article which says that Sahin will be sold is BS. Watzke denied that there are any interest from Real Madrid. We're not even in the conversation.
News about Sahin from fcinternews/1908 etc are irrelevant.

I know you've seen Tevez play so I'll just pretend that was all a typo. He doesn't have his scoring record and he most likely won't, but he's still a beast of a player and would make an effective replacement.

What I meant about Sneijder not being the best type of playmaker, that's how it is. He's not that classy playmaker who dictates the play with his stunning vision, soft touch and pin-point passes. Yes, Sneijder can pass but he's more of a direct play player, fast long passes.
you want to give the opposition defense time to get back into position or what? this ain't the 80s, the game is much faster nowadays that's why we've moved away from the Riquelme/Rui Costa type playmakers and to the Wesley/Kakas. That stunning vision/Dictating the play type stuff is for holding-mids like Xavi Alonso, Xavi, Pirlo, Sahin, etc, not offensive mids like Sneijder.

His touch isn't that good, it might look good when we have Deki, Motta, Cuchu, Zanetti, Kharja and go around of him.
yeah because he's got 2 DMFs up his ass because they don't bother marking Kharja and Stankovic.

And make no mistake, I agree totally Sneijder would be a beast if he had better, more technical players around him. The problem lies there, we don't have them and we need money to buy them. This is why I would be okay to sell Sneijder for a really big money because with that money we could buy players who would improve our squad more than just having Sneijder there (Sneijder vs 2 skilled midfielders).
How about we don't waste money on Tevez and buy 2 quality mids, they don't even have to be world class to be honest. In anycase, all this talk about how expensive WC players are, what are we paying our scouts for, for fuck's sake, we should be reeling them in before their values sky rocket. I've been watching M'Villa for the longest time, clearly he was destined for big things, but now we're only just switiching. It's too fucking late now

Moratti intends to compete with Barcelona for Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas in the summer.

Cesc has cast doubt on his future at Arsenal after a critical interview with Don Balon this week where he expressed his frustration with the club's transfer policy and lack of trophies.

The People says Moratti is ready to bring Cesc to Italy in the summer.

The midfielder has been on Barcelona’s radar for the previous two summers.

However, that has not deterred Moratti, who met Inter’s technical staff, directors and sponsors last week to discuss summer spending. Money will be pumped in to the Italian giants by new sponsors from the Gulf states, giving Inter a huge war chest.

:):):)

ENGLAND: INTER COSTS AGO AT WHITE HART LANE, BUT NOT FOR BALE
21/04/2011 09:59 by Mark Tirabassi article read 1623 times
Source: Mirror / Fc Inter 1908
The fate of Inter Milan and Tottenham esmbra be particularly fond of this season and England Arrian new entries of contact between the two clubs. As reported by the Mirror, Inter would again come forward to Luka Modric, right midfield target for more than a dream or Sandra Fabregas. Despite the Croatian player has expressed his desire to remain in London and the coach Redknapp has promised that none of the big start, Inter seem to have found the key to the deal.
In fact, the company will launch the last and decisive Moratti proposed treaty concluded a league, when you will know if the Spurs will play the next Champions League or not. The absence of the cup may in fact be the card for Modric to convince Inter dress.

Meanwhile in England no longer believes that can go to see Bale play in our league. In fact, neither the total nor the Milan are considered worthy rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for the Welsh, though many believe that deep down in the end Gareth will not start, but not for a variety of heart ...

Well looks like Modric our reality option. Sahin is injured, ganso choose milan, fabregas definetely barca.

Modric hmmmmm..i guess he and sahin are 50 - 50
