I hope all the rumors that are linking us with Robben are false, and purely tales from myth writers. Robben is an amazing player and would be a good acquisition, if he was just so much accident prone. He plays a few games, and then gets injured. His entire career has been like this. Plays a few games, out for a month, plays a game, out for a couple of weeks. Plays several games, out for months. What is the point in having him when it is up to chance to see whether he can play or not. No money on earth is worth this.
As far the argument of Lass, I think is a capable player, good at winning the ball back, great pace, great technical ability and good psychological boost to any team. However, that said, that fellow is a bit nuts, he has a hard time controlling the force of his tackles and does some silly decisions. We already have a fellow like him, Cuchu, and honestly Motta. Instead of getting yet another holding DM, lets have a great passer, good central midfielder that can go both ways. Montolivo is good, D'Agostino is good. But between those two I prefer Montolivo. He had a better year. It looks like Sneijder will go (but only if Sneijder himself wants to go). I just do not think Sneijder at the moment is replaceable.
