Wesley Sneijder

[Mustafa]

-----------------------Julio Cesar--------------------
---Maicon--------Lucio----------Chivu------Santon---
-----------------------Muntari-----------------------
----Quaresma-------Thiago Motta--------Sneijder-----
----------------Milito----------Eto'o-----------------

We need Sneijder to play the left-to-center attacking midfielder. I think Mou will play 4-1-3-2 in the UCL, as he did in Chelsea.

Replace Santon with Zanetti unless you think our captain will be benched.

 

[Marvinho]

Unwanted players are always shipped out cheaper! Look at Eto'o say. Or us selling Mancini, Vieira, Rivas Etc. we're not looking for anywhere near what we paid, just looking to offload salary and get some money back. So theres no way Real should expect anywhere near the 27M, 15M would be fair imo. I also see no reason why we can't sign both Sneijder and VDV.

--------Cambiasso---------
-Sneidjer--------Motta----
----------VDV------------

with

Stankovic, Muntari as instant replacements. Plus Obi, Krhin and Zanetti if needed.
Thats essentially 6 midfielders for 3/4 slots (depending on formation) which i think is fair and neither of Muntari or Stank would complain to much about being benched imo.

 

[Luka]

15M for Sneijder who did good at Real Madrid, and had problems only because of his injury that happened before the last season, would be a steal not a good deal.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Sneijder was bought for 27 mln. We can't expect them to sell him to us for half of that.

He wasn't a flop at Real Madrid, he had a great first season, and the only reason he will (if) be sold is that there is no place for him in the team and Perez wants to get rid of dutchmen, not because he flopped.

Anything under 20 mln is a good price for Sneijder, and the loan is ain't the same as buying outright. It is obvious the loan deal will be more expensive. Gazzetta says 3 mln loan + 18 mln if we will want to buy him. I think that's not a bad deal. We can get few mil less if we'll wait until the end of the august, but I don't think this is popular idea over here.

Well, I think other clubs shouldn't overprice for RM rejects just because RM happened to pay overprice to get those players.

Inter have some upside in this negotiation (if there really is one), since RM wants to get rid of the player. Sneijder is paid big, so we shouldn't pay too much to get him. I really don't think D'Agostino would be too much worse compared to Sneijder. The difference would be his salary, which most probably would be almost half less of Sneijder's one.

I'd pay something around 15-16m€ for Sneijder, if that isn't possible, go for D'Agostino. He can be got around 15m€ price too, with salary being almost half less. ~20m€ is just too much for Sneijder.

He hasn't been a world beater there, don't try to overestimate every player Inter is getting or has got.

 

[Stefan]

You are dreaming if you think d'agostino can be got for €15 million. Juve offered €18 million and got rejected, that's why they went for melo.

This years market is over inflated we just have to accept that. a Loan with the option to buy would be perfect imho. I would prefer not to pay more than €2 million for a loan but in this market we will probably have to pay €3-4 million.

Juve didn't offer 18m€ in cash for D'Agostino ever. They never offered over 10m€ in cash. Instead they offered some players as makeweights, but Udinese wanted players Juventus didn't want to lose. That's why the deal collapsed. With pure cash D'Agostino could be moved very well with 15-16m€.

Not what I remember reading. But either way Udinese are going to be reluctant to let him go while rm want to let sneijder go.

 

[Alex de Large]

I agree with Luka. 21 is too many for him? they payed 27 2 years ago and he hasn't been bad with them.

I have doubts as to who would be the better player for us Sneijder or Van Der Vart. Guess it depends on what we are looking for..?

Is it a player primarily for the three man midfield in 4-3-3? Then Sneijder is definately better.

Or is it a trequartista? Because then Van Der Vart probably offers more flair and creativity..

Do you guys know in which position a potential new midfielder will primarily function?

If we are looking for somebody versatile enough to play in both positions/formations then Sneijder should be our choice.

Mourinho doesn't want a trequartista.
VDV is more like Diego, Sneijder more like Lampard, we need the latest. Plus Sneijder is better and not injury prone.

Hope this happens.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

D'Agostino is a very exciting player, but we have not been linked to him. We were more linked to Galloppa, who ended up at Parma. Galloppa, D'Agostino and Cigarini are very exciting youngsters.

Anyway, Juve screwed up. They refuse to give Udinese 20m, but ended up paying 21.5m for Melo.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Well you can't remember reading Juventus have offered cash over 10m€ because that was never reported. That is what I remember. Udinese will be ready to let D'Agostino go when they are offered enough cash. It's different thing to negotiate as a big club with these smaller ones compared to negotiate as a big club with another, even bigger club. D'Agostino was full of joy moving to a big club finally so he will push the transfer if just Inter got even close to the amount Udinese want. Juventus weren't too close at any point because they didn't offer enough cash and/or proper players.

edit. This is of course just useless rant because like FR said, we were never linked to D'Agostino (who is not a youngster btw). I'm just giving a good alternative for Sneijder who will be very expensive. Only way him being not expensive is that we don't buy him next summer and RM pay part of his salary for the coming season if he comes on loan.

D'agostino is no youngster. He is 27.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

D'agostino is no youngster. He is 27.

In Italy, you're barely a grown man by that age, even less so a player

But ok, not exactly youngster.

 

[Alex de Large]

Please e-mail Sneijder and tell him to come and how great he will turn with us and Mourinho http://www.sneijderofficial.com/es/contacto.asp

 

[Ilkinio]

I'm seriously writing one.

 

[Luka]

CC you're living in a fantasy world when it comes to transfers. The world of football doesn't spin around Inter. All the teams are trying to get as good offer as they can for themselves, not just Inter.

That's why it is so easy to talk about it, but when they start to negotiate the hard stuff's coming up. There are just too many factors, for us "small" fans to even know about when it comes to those transfers, and everything matters when making the offer more or less expensive. One of the noticable factors that happened this year were the high prices that Real paid for the players. You missed that part? And they paid 27 mln 2 years ago, not now. If it would happen today we could expect this to be more than 30 mln, probably close to 35.

And as with everything, it's all about the "leverage". For example Milan has a leverage over Chelsea over Pirlo price, because they know Ancelotti is a sucker for Pirlo, that's why the price is so freekin high.

Inter had a levarage over buying Ibra, because he wanted to leave soo bad.

You can't expect Inter to have a leverage every single time. There will be situations that the leverage will be on other side, and we will have to pay more than what we think is fair.

But this isn't the case. I think if the offer will be no more than 20 mln we're doing a good deal. You think it is a bad deal? Ask Real supporters what do they think, of selling a player who is still good/young/top dutch for 50% of what they paid just 2 years ago. They will laugh at your face.

 

[Alex de Large]

Yeah, do it, i wrote this.

Hi Wesley. I'm an Inter fan from Spain, look: Pool have Gerrard, Barcelona have Iniesta, Chelsea have Lampard, and many more, all big clubs have powerful midfielders but Inter needs one since Veron left, you will become even better player if you join Inter under Mourinho, we need someone who can play behind the strikers to assist them, to take free kicks and to shot outside the box, scoring goals also.
PLS don't worry about Madrid wants now, they are a great team and made some good signings, but the new president goal is marketing, and also buy some national players, so here comes Xabi Alonso... he is not better than you, but he is born in Spain.

Number 10 is waiting for you at Inter, please come, we need you to compete for the champions league, there is only 1 piece left, and it's someone like you, we already have a great keeper, defenders, defensive midfielders and strikers.

I forget to say the NT thing, he will not be starter with his NT in the world cup if he don't starts for Madrid, pls someone write about this.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Would be great to see a Dutchman again in the Inter jersey, hopefully he will do better than Van der Meyde.

Raffie VDV will also be perfect, both are much better than a Deco.

Don't explain me things like I'm some 10-year-old child. I'm not living in a fantasy world, I'm living in a world where Inter is about to make stupid deals.

Inter definitely have leverage over RM in this one. Don't people take that 27m€ into account here. It was overprice there so we shouldn't count that a little less than that is okay because RM wants to get rid of the player. Inter is probably the best counterpart for negotiations for RM because we have some ability to pay big salaries (Huntelaar case, Stuttgart agreed the price but couldn't match Huntelaar's demand). Other clubs maybe interested in Sneijder can't afford to have him.

RM inflated the prices and now they will suffer because of it. Every club knows they have to reduce their squad, so no one is willing to pay reasonable amounts for RM players. Inter definitely have the leverage here, every club making business with RM have leverage. It just has to be used because RM needs to get rid of these players seriously.

 

[Executioner93]

This is the best fucking news of the day Sneijder will be reborn with us he after loosing balls always runs and presses to get them back natural to what Jose wants. A guy on interfans said we had a deal with him for months but the problem was convincing Mourinho i don't buy that one bit. I think we got really lucky cause Hleb and Deco are nothing like Sneijder. Sneijder isn't a man with the tricks and flair but he has good speed and lethal passes ground and over the top through balls. Sneijder is the best thing that could of happened to us that seems to gave fallen in our lap. We will commit that 18 million afterward so from the 50 million from Ibra we have 29 left to spend hopefully 12 will be bought to get Cassano with the offloading of the ridiculous dead weight on this team.

Maicon--------Lucio---------Chivu/Samuel-----------Zanetti/Santon

-------Sneijder--------Cambiasso------------Motta----------

------------------FantAntonio Cassano---------------------

-----------Eto'o---------------------Milito------------------

This team is fucking staked we need Cassano because he can take many ppl on 1v1 Sneijder is the best passer on this team here. Motta and Sneijder with the movement of Eto'o and Milito and Cassano creativity we can create a lot of offense. If this happens and we get Cassano which I doubt Jose will get him as he isn't to fond as him in the CAM role but he can adapt nicely he can easily as he would be more of a CF if Jose wishes it for him to not come back too much and help out the d on counter attacks. Sneijder and Motta would be asked to stay a little back and use their passing skills to dish it out to the three options of top.
