Wesley Sneijder

His head got too big for his midget body.

 

[Shark]

Too many kebabs, I guess.

Alvaro Recoba took (accepted) close to 50% pay cut 2 years into a 5 year contract at 27 years of age. Fact.

Sneijder played 1 great season and the rest of his time was as constructive as Quaresma.

Cambiasso with almost 2/3rds the salary of Sneijder has been more useful to the team post treble than Sneijder. Despite results and state of affairs with the team /managers.

Edit:Reports that Cambiasso will be asked to reduce his wages, time will tell if he honours this or that his influence is indeed prominent.

Recoba? That was a decade ago. Back then Ronaldo, Vieri, and I believe Crespo all took some level of wage cuts (though nowhere near as significant I'm sure) as well. But given Recoba's generous example, surely in these dark, dark times players should have been lining up to help out the club? Especially the guys who have been around for far longer than Sneijder.

As far as Cambiasso goes, he has what, 1 year left? I hope we don't do something silly like take his 4mil/1yr and turn it into 2.5mil/3yrs.

Sucked ass against Indonesia.

Created a few chances though. And scored a perfectly valid goal after just 57 seconds in the game, which was still unfairly denied, however.

 

[Big Willy]

I regret of voting him to LGI.

 

[Guney]

Happy birthday Wes! Born on the same day as me, as a little kid that was a reason to support him <3

:megusta:

 

[KevinB]

I don't regret voting him in LGI.

He is and was a player of exceptional class. Just shame how it all ended up.

 

[Int3r]

Wesley Fitness for the past year hasn't been great at all, that's why he was stripped of Dutch captancy

 

[Y&h]

He is surprised for losing the captaincy.

Van Gaal's decision to drop Sneijder as Oranje captain was another disappointment for the former Inter star after Galatasaray president Unal Aysal said the Turkish giants are ready to sell him following his below-par performances since his winter move.

"I have been following the rumours about Sneijder, but we have not received an offer for him. If an offer in the region of €15 million comes in, we might decide to sell him, though," Aysal told Sabah.

The 29-year-old has a contract with the Istanbul giants until 2016, but he stated last week he would be keen to be reunited with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

They signed him for 7 Million isn't it? Played shit for half season and they are expecting double the price they paid for him?

Only our management let's other clubs fuck us senseless when it comes to transfer fees.

 

[.h.]

Its because we have no leverage.

In general, and in Sneijder's case.

In general, everyone knows we're broke. Thats why we had to let Coutinho go so cheaply (for example). In Sneijder's case, we were doubly fucked because we had no leverage on the player nor the other club.

Why do you think we had to release Cesar, Lucio, sell Maicon for 4m, etc? It's because we had no leverage. Everyone knew we needed to offload those players desperately, so why help us out by making it easy?

 

[Universe]

At this rate Sneijder's going to be forgotten in mediocrity, if he hasn't been already.

Wesley has to start to man the fuck up!

 

[Native]

And then, all of a sudden, he was a god against China. :notbad:

Stripping him off captaincy worked. He now knows he isn't immortal and he has a fuckload of work to do if he is to get it back.

 

[William]

I don't think he will ever get it back. Not on a permanent basis anyway. Once RVP is done in a couple if years it should be passed to the now youthful players that are breaking in at the moment and manage to keep their place (preferably a CB or CM).
