Manchester United Rumours Archive July 11 2011

it may be just a coincidence but manchester united have been linked with real madrid midfielder for a while now and he has been emitted from real madrids squad going on pre-season tour... its a possibility, saf like players proven in the prem.. and he is that.. only time will tell i guess

He has no loyalty. In fact, he seems to have no morals at all.

Plus, he isn't that good. I keep hearing that we are interested but I hope it's just paper talk.

I really hope we are not after him he simply is not good enough and has baggage.

Sir Alex has has his press conference in the US and when asked about Nasri he said "Nasri, no. I don't think he's coming to United. I think he's agreed to go somewhere else. Maybe he has to stay at Arsenal too. That's a possibility." That is on the Today In Boston section on manutd.com {Ed036's Note - So City it is then?}

He will be going to City. His outburst about trophies over money made that clear. He was making excuses to the Arsenal fans.

Sydney!

MAN. UTD., Kuszczak: "I am leaving"

It doesn't take a rocket scientist bud, he was left out of the US touring squad. I expect a £2m bid from WBA is imminent.

Nasri or sneider will not be signed both would have been signed if SAF really wanted any of them. sanchez looked like signing untill he said he favoured a move to barcelona and SAF will not buy a player that 2 or 3 years later will leave for another team.We were gonna go for mouthino but chelski has hijacked him already which leaves 2 players and only one will be signed. mata 22m or 7m scott parker are the names i have heard being bundled about.

No offense to scott parker but, the only team we really need to beat is barcelona and i don't think scott parker is good enough to help us, besides he isn't exactly young either.. mata is a great player, it would be a surprise to a lot of people if he signed however it would definitely put a massive grin on my face if he did.

What do you know ? for god sake be patient SAF knows we need an experinced midfielder to replace the irreplaceable Ginger Prince it will happen so stop believing the the media hype as they know less than we do
ARB

Fergie will be eyeing up some lil jems like chicarito..

I think that SAF would sooner go for someone like Defour or maybe Eriksen as Parker isn't a great improvement on what we already have.
He's a canny player but just NGE.
Hopefully Anderson will step up this season.

Been reading this site a lot since end of season. Sneijder is NOT coming, sorry,
Nasri is NOT coming, thank the lord.
Anyone that comes on this site and starts barking on about CM blah blah blah.SAF knows what we need and I think the job he has done for this club should leave NO-ONE in any doubt that SAF will have the player(s) HE wants and feels can do a job for the Mighty Reds.
Peace.

Well that is wrong cos i have a souce that sneider has singed 36m 200k a week so boom

Bang on the button fella, weel said.... HERBIE

CM Blah blah blah. It was SAF that identified this was the area we needed to fill so if you are such an SAF follower you might want to listen to what he has to say. We all did and thats why we've been taking about CM's. Blah Blah Blah.

Mate, dunno if you watched united play last season but the position we are weakest in is our midfield, our defensive is one of the best if not thee best in the world. Our forwards only got better as the year went on (apart from berba, he started good and then lost confidence) with paul scholes retiring, we're in desperate need of someone who can come in and boss the job straight from the word go. I know sneijder (one of the few people on here who can actually spell his name -.-) is a great player however he is used to playing right behind the strikers and although he could drop back i think the main cause for concern is if he'll do as well with all the physical demands of the EPL considering he is quite fragile (injured while at real madrid, and last season he kept having minor injuries disrupting his playing time)

However he is one of the few people with a vision as good as scholes's, and one of a few in the world who can kick a ball as consistently accurate as him... So maybe with a bit of fergie know how, he could make him highly effective in a slightly deeper lying role as he clearly has a gift for playing beautiful football. (bearing in mind people that he worked his way up through Ajax, and their motto is to play attractive football, which means he has to be highly creative, and we lack that in our midfield at the moment)

Peace out.

And which player is that after ruling out the ones most available?
Easy to rule sneider and nasri out but you can't say who

You haven't got a clue mate, we need two midfielders defo

my dad has just spoken to me and his source i dont no his name but his a sillisitor for united or something anyway he sits near us at old trafford and has confirmed to him manchester united have SIGNED WESLEY SNEIDER FOR 36MILLION ON 200K PER WEEK GOOD NEWS FOR MANCHESTER UNITED. would rather have nasri though but you never no anythings possible but i doubt that both would sign

If this is true, when will Manchester United confirm the deal? And what about the medical?

I doubt anything from anyone who knows a "sillisitor" - for pitys sake.....

B******S

Sneijder hasn't signed for anyone. In a recent interview he said he wishes to stay at Inter. He loves the fans and He loves life in Italy and so does his family. If he has to be sold then he said he will join United.

The "recent" Sneijder I/V that is doing the rounds dates back to June and has appeared in Inters July magazine. It's the equivalent of the United mag and players don't as a rule diss their club in such mags

Right then you keep thinkin that so come september the 1st who will be wearing the red shirt (wesley sneijder)

Chelsea to make a higher bid for Modric later on today

MR.MUFC...

11 Jul 2011 17:08:12
Another post here and it seems that Wesley snjeider wants to stay at Inter Milan

MR.MUFC...

Ronaldo wanted to stay at United....
Tevez wanted to win the league with city....
Mourinho loved chelsea....
Keegan would love it....

Just because a footballer says something doesnt mean its going to happen, football is almost as unpredictable as the lottery mate and nothing the media says makes sense.

This is a quote from Inter Milans July edition of their magazine, which i assume would have been written in late June. Now if I was Wesley Sneijder I wouldn't want to upset any Inter fans just in case the deal didn't go through, he was quoted saying he doesn't want to leave BUT if they wanted him to go then he would leave, and ended by saying "What will be will be"..... I believe it's still on

11 Jul 2011 14:27:12
1358: Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder wants to remain at Inter Milan, according to the club's coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The 27-year-old former Real Madrid star - under contract with the Italians until June 2015 - is valued at £35m. Don't managers say this just before a player is going to leave? Just to soften the blow?

No sneijder is having talks with manchester united tomorrow and he will take a pay cut to go as he has no place at inter
also it says that aw said that cesc and nasri will stay till next year so if that happens nasri can walk out for free and old trafford is his prefered destination

And Inter boss Gian Piero Gasperini said: I try not to be worried about Sneijder.

He is one of the best players in Europe. But I am convinced we can find a new player when he goes.

This is from the sunday mirror hardly the most reliable I know but Gasperini is at least quoted.
It depends what you read and who you believe on this one Im afraid.

Red Knight.

Sneijder said he is sad to leave but ferigie will offer £35m tomorrow to get him and nasri is set to go to city tho he wants to go to united

If he was due to leave the player would never publicly state he wanted to Leave just incase a deal falls through and ge remains at inter. He would be hated by the fans and wouldn't be worth it. JF

Who we kidding guys sneijder wont come we'll leave it to late again just like when becks left..

11 Jul 2011 11:41:46
jonny evans to everton or west ham

Would love this to happen, never been good enough for utd

How much do we have to pay them to take him off our hands?

Personally I think everyone sahould stop worrying about the Sneijder saga, have a bit of faith in SAF he's rarely let us down before. If he believes Sneijds could do a job at Utd, then i'd assume he's right. We can say he not as good as so and so or will take up Rooneys space. He's never played with the players that will be around him so we can hardly judge what he'll do can we? Stop been so negative about it all and let's look forward to next season and be happy with whoever we may sign.

Mate, you re so, so right. People, stop being negative. Maybe I m one of the 10 people that think Bebe can progress. I saw his improvement at the end in the "Gary Neville s" game. Of what I ve seen, I think Joshua King is another who has bright future. I hope Obertan will do realy well this season. As for Sneijder, don t forget he was supperb as an Ajax captain. He was injured at Real M for some time...He s a class player, I prefer Nasri, but I ll support the Sneijder transfer too. Fingers crossed to play realy good next season. My preference is the Premier league crown :)

I would trust & support any SAF transfer, even the one's he makes commission off.

Sydney ;)

Sydney,

How much does he make off each transfer. Or is it only from those he makes using his friend Mendes??

J Bones

Wesley / the business / agents etc are going to choose between man u and malaga

i spoke to his wifes best friend on my steps in amsterdam this morning

Get real.. sneijder is a non-starter.. tabloid nonsense

Malaga and United are the only two that have made a bid for him. If any others make a bid, he will consider them too. There is a long way to go in this window and I expect it to go the distance. He could well stay at Inter.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Inter are looking to Sanchez to come in. They need the money.}

Are you sure you saw improvement in Bebe? the guys not up to standard and won't. Obertan is better but not good enough, we was an educated gamble, which hasn't paid off but didn't cost that much. Bebe was quite simply a mistake and an expensive one at that. In SAF we trust (but not everytime)

11 Jul 2011 09:55:17
Apparently United have asked to be kept informed of any movement of Sissoko the French cm of Touluse this is the kind of move i expect from Fergie, that type of player who its ovious we lack tall, robust, pin point passer of the ball, my 1st choice would be Sweinstiger though solid player

Out of all the young available players being touted as "future superstars" this lad is the real deal from what i ve seen, 13 million would get him.. dont know how true utd having interest in him is but wouldnt be surprised.. him and Matuidi are the two best young midfielders in France at the moment

KRTOON

I would luv us to sign him, wud be a great signing

11 Jul 2011 00:26:10
Not debating that both Nasri and Snjeder are class (snejder being my preference) But i really want SAF to make a cheeky bid for Thiago Alcantara The kid is 20, He is outstanding and is the bit of flair and crativity i believe we have missed Especially against big European teams

MASSEEEV RED {Ed036's Note - He's just signed a new contract. £81 million release clause. Not going to happen methinks...}

Even is some miracle happened and UNited were to wrangle Thiago away, Barcelona would insist on a buyback clause.

Ed036? These numbers are getting ridiculous ;)

TK-Red {Ed001's Note - have to keep you on your toes! Still less editors than sites and I would like every team to have their own editor.}

The £81m buyout clause has changed nothing, Barcelona would still have got the price they wanted for him, just like they will still get the price they want for him now. It has changed absolutely nothing.

But I would rather spend £25m on Thiago, than £35m on Sneijder. But perhaps it's a more experienced midfielder that SAF wants? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Sydney!

We have been trying to sign him(as has everyone else), but it is too late now as he has signed a new 5 year contract. I can guarantee that we will be after him in the future though:D

10 Jul 2011 23:48:53
So this whole Wesley Sneijder saga cotinues to rumble on. Personally, I can't see United buying him. For two simple reasons. 1.) The cost. Yes, I know people will argue if you want the best you have to pay the going rate but as pointed out by several United fans on here Sneijder would cost £87+million overall. Thats a huge gamble to take given the fact Sneijder is 27 years old and had a very disappointing season for Inter last year. I coudln't disagree when he is on top form he is one of the best players in his role, and thats where my second point comes in; 2.) His position. CAM, just behind the striker. Is everyone forgetting Wayne Rooney? He has been playing in that position for us and i'd have Rooney in that role all day long. For me that means that Sneijder wouldn't play in a 4-4-2 and given the potential in Rooney and Hernandez's partnership, I can't see SAF sacrificing either. People are alos quick to right off any possible Luka Modric deal. I agree however only whilst there is no offer on the table from United. If United were to make a bid I think the situation would change quite quickly, how many players can turn down SAF? and Man Utd as a club. Modric is simply after CL football and with Chelsea the only club to have made an official offer and his desire to move its pretty obvious why he has spoken of a move to Chelsea. Just a thought, whats yours Ed?

Rosco {Ed036's Note - I can't see Spurs wanting to sell to us after all of the bravado they've drummed up over the Modric saga, as well as the Carrick and Berbatov drama a few years ago. It would be a completely negative statement of intent. I also believe that he has spoken of his desire to remain in London, so I think there are too many factors going against it for a deal to be viable. I personally don't buy into the "Sneijder is too similar to Rooney" argument, because I seem to remember people saying much the same about Tevez who actually had a very good first season. Furthermore, surely it's about the options it gives us? Hernandez's approach play isn't good enough for him to be starting alone up front against Barcelona in my opinion, and so having Sneijder in the team allows us to play Rooney as an all-action striker on such occasions.}

I did not write this and also believe some comments are fairly wide of the mark.

I think what people sometimes forget is if a team (especially a prem team, due to physicallity and tempo etc.) is going to challenge on all fronts, the one thing you can never have too much of is options. Can anyone honestly say they wouldn't want sneijder in their team over Gibson. Wage is not a problem as our revenue stream is only rivalled by that of barca and real.

Completely agree with ED's points and also find it ridiculous to call sneijder old at the ripe old age of 27. The same people that say this are the same people that would have scholes back tommorow, (i understand the affinity with the club but) double standards? When was paul scholes ever up for FIFA player of the year.
