[interindo]

I guess it's a little unprofessional but i can see why he would talk about it. So all in all he has a right to say how he feels.

 

[chipschups]

he telling the truth tbh,,
this is too much if we still defending our incompetent management after had a worst season,,

 

[jmaster]

Sneijder you domme kutslet kut

 

[Native]

Yeah. Dumb cuntslut cunt.

Who knows if he didnt want new contract? Do you, or even the media know if he has asked?

As far as we can tell, he may have gone and said Moratti - "i want 6 mils or i want out". OR, moratti told him, "Hre is 6 mils for you to stay". We will never know, and we can only guess.

Like you say, we don't know everything. So let's look at what we do know: firstly, he is NOT happy Inter is doing bad. He said he doesn't mind it for other people (management). While he feels sorry for the fans/players and that these results are not Inter-worthy. In other words: he wants Inter to do well.

Secondly, the paycut issue is irrelevant. It was within his right as a professional player to not accept that. End of story. What however WAS fucked up, was management banning him from twitter for no good reason, and freezing him out of the squad. I don't know if you guys have already forgotten, but management BLACKMAILED our treble champion with the no sign/no play. Not only is that extremely unprofessional and disrespectful (especially to a treble champ), but it was also stupid from a footballing perspective.

So like others said, he basically just attacked the management. And rightly fucking so! Ninth place! It's good that he spoke out. If people don't adress the need for change, nothing'll happen and we'll make the same mistakes that we've been making for the last 3 years! How are things going to change if people don't speak out or take action?

Is it a coincidence that former players speak badly of Inter management/power cliques when they leave? Motta, Vieri, Sneijder. I get the feeling that Moratti and co., and the Argentian contingent in general, have treated other parties badly while favoring themselves, with the club suffering as a result.

Chelsea made an enquiry for him, according to Tancredi.

I bet that Gala would beat every team of the Serie A beside the top 3. Fenerbahce kicked Lazio - a team that beat us twice this year - out of EL. Last year we weren't able to win against Trabzonspor twice. And when I look at the attendance Gala has in every match they would be in third place of Serie A - not far behind us and Milan.

I certainly don't agree. The Turkish Superleague is miles behind Serie A, in terms of both quality and balance.

After the first leg of the match between Lazio and Fenerbahce, the referee apologized to the Lazio Sporting director for the terrible arbitration throughout the game. Additionally, the coach of Fenerbahce admitted that Lazio played better football. And Libor Kozak, imo a giraffe of a player, was attempting to take the place of injured Miroslav Klose, so your argument doesn't work.

In the game against Trabzonspor it was clear the Inter players didn't regard it as a priority, and even so, regardless of the results, we played much stronger football than them. We clearly had the upper hand.

Galatasary's defence is atrocious, and their attack isn't too strong because of its age; in Serie A, all their attackers except for Burak Yilmaz would get injured. Maybe Felipe Melo would be healthy.

 

[Bruce007]

mixed feeling, i miss him but i hate him, sneijder arrived in Jakarta

​

The Sneijder saga demonstrates how stupid our transfer strategy and planning actually is. Forget the internal story, which we don't know completely, and just look at the facts:

- Inter gave Sneijder (and many other treble winners) significantly higher wages in 2010, when we knew we cannot afford that with FFP.
- When those wages starting hurting Inter, we blackmailed him to leave.
- Inter waited till his market value crashed from 40m, and sold him for 6m!

That's a reactive, bullshit management who cannot think ahead at all.

 

[DARi0]

Meh, I see nothing wrong with what he said. He's basically saying that they made the wrong decision regarding him, which I agree with.

Exaclty. He didn't say anything out of ordinary, he just backed up his outcome with facts (9th place without him).

I'm with Sneijder on this one! Our management treated him badly, froze him out of the squad (which was stupid IMO, we should have used him!) in order to force him to sign a NEW OFFER from us. He had every right not to sign it. Now how stupid is that?! You want players to stay but you put pressure on them like that?! Meanwhile lowering his transfer fee to suicidal rates So it's a DOUBLE fuckup from our management, both in man-handling and transfer-economic wise!

Of course he has a strong personality and HUGE EGO, but club should have thought of this before commencing such dangerous manouvers! I mean he's not Muntari! Everything started from dropping him from the squad.

I still rate him and I wouldn't be surprised if Mou signs him

 

[Alex de Large]

And we still have such players like Mundigayi hahahahah, what a shitty team this has become, thanks Moratti and the management, thank you fuckin' idiots for waste our best players.

Recent Branca interview on Sneijder:

Int: Sneijder has attacked you heavily.
MB: "We acuired Wesley when he was out of the project Real. With us he has won very fast and almost touched the Golden Ball. Do you know what the truth is?"

Int: I'm listening.
MB: "In reality, for Sneijder we have never received official offers, except from Galatasaray. After the treble there haven't been any offers. We were content to the point that we rediscussed and prolonged the contract. Last summer during the break, Wesley presented himself healthy, on good form, motivated, captain of his national team. He was injured against Chievo. On december, for questions that had to do with his contract, I had asked him a meeting: I wanted to discuss a certain eventual "coating". He would have earned something more, but at the same time he would have made less heavy the economical situation of the club. He did not accept the meeting, but it was his right to do so."

Int: And you then "disgraced" him in monovison.
MB: "I repeat, it was his right, but on the other side, it was our right as well to comunicate that, for economic problems, one of our best players was on mercato. Thanks to that anouncement, there came forward a society that was concrete and serious: Galatasaray. They sattisfied our requests and those of Wes. We sold him for 7.5 million and in the end we ended up having a little gain."

this is the version i have always taken and the way i seen it from the start

He wouldn't take a paycut even though he was being offered performance based bonuses on top of a lower wage, im not saying he had to but it was probably clear to him after the clean out in the summer what would happen if he didnt

he was well within his rights to reject it but the club after hardly having a notable performance for the last 30million they spent paying him also had a right to put him up for sale. he played well in the Euro's even though holland were a bit crap, if he hadn't he probably would have been sold in the summer.

most of the fuss cause between his refusal qand his sale was caused by Wes often via his wife

My personal opinion is that he thought he was bigger than the club and he should be no where near LGI

 

[vasilios]

I think the fact that we froze him out of the squad until he signed a new contract (which Branca himself admitted was the case) caused far more of a fuss than any tweets, anything his wife said, or any other such trivial nonsense. Not to mention the tweets only became a big deal when Inter banned him and fined him for telling the truth that he wasn't injured at all. Did people expect him to stay silent and play along with the charade that he was still injured? Inter handled the situation about as poorly as they possibly could have.

 

[Sassuolu]

But at the end of the day Inter offered him a contract for lesser money in the short term and more money in the long term, a contract in which he could have ended his career with us and he snubbed us. Sneijder had no problem kissing the badge when we were winning but then when all of a sudden the club wanted him to sacrifice and it's not really a sacrifice since he'll still be a millionaire he took his ball and left. Could Branca have tackled the situation better? Oh fuck yes, but still Sneijder's primadonna attitude after the treble really pissed me off.

 

[Fitzy]

I think this just reinforces that we don't have any long-term planning. We knew FFP was coming, and we offered him a better contract. He accepted it, and then a little while later the club thought "oh shit, we can't afford this contract" and wanted to change it. He was then told he wasn't playing simply for playing out the contract agreed to. Sure, he could have put the club first and went with a smaller deal, but he didn't... And he was well within his right to do so as it was within the terms of his current contract. The club fucked up big time.

Inter & Sneijder agreed on a contract, Inter want to change that contract so that it suits them, Sneijder doesn't bend over for them, and it's Sneijder who's ungrateful, selfish, blah blah blah. Nonsense. It's a business. If people's expectations are for players to overlook the business side of things, then you simply have unrealistic expectations. How many of JZ/Cambiasso/JC/Samuel/Chivu/Stankovic/etc have agreed to wage reductions on existing contracts? Hint: it's a very small number. Hell, how many players around Italy, or Europe for that matter have done it recently? Not many.

People don't like Sneijder's attitude (probably on and off the pitch) and that's fine, but criticizing him for not signing a new contract that wasn't in his best interests is asinine. JC told management to take their contract ultimatum and shove it as well, but doesn't receive the criticism because he handled it in a classier manner. However at the end of the day, his decision was the same.

 

[Scottish_one]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying our management handled this well. some planning and a far less clumsy approach could have saved us all a lot of grief but i do think they were right to offer Him a different contract and as a result of his decision, get rid of him.

I am also not saying that Wes is at fault for not acceptting, thats fine and understandable but he must have known if he wanted to stay, that was the only way it was going to happen. yet all the fuss after the rejection (not helped at all by our management) but Wes is certainly not the the victim he wants to be seen as
