Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan has revealed that (sorry) sneijder wants out of inter.
says he doesnt get on with the coach and is sick of being played out of position
he says sneijder knows there is a place for him at man united and when he asked him if there was still time for a transfer ,sneijder replied "my transfer from ajax to madrid only took 8hrs from madrid to inter was only 4hrs"

Jesus wept GIVE IT UP wes won't be coming to united....where would he fit in? He plays in Rodney's number 10 position he is NOT the panacea that everyone thought he would be at united and he has played 6 games since august

Not going to sort out his wage demands in any amount of time let alone 4 or 8 hours!
Going to have to wait untill summer for the 'sneijder' we have all been hoping for!

Never say never,sneijder can play the no. 10 position,doesn't mean he would play there with united if we got him.he would not hinder Rooneys position at all.sneijder would play in front of dm like what Giggs does when he plays in the middle,but would be more effective going forward.he would more than likely set up more goals or opportunities for Rooney and Chico/welbeck etc...he would be perfect for Utd...

Super Red

If we bought sneijder i think we would play 442 diamond and have sneijder in AM with Rooney and Chicharito/Welbeck infront of him

Never gonna happen! EVER!

If we were to play a 442 diamond it would be great attacking football but we would need a world class DM as well which we dont have i just dont think the balance would be right! We need a good Creative MF who plays a bit deeper than Sneijder! Modric ideal but too expensive, it's a mystery to anyone who he's gonna sign!

Well Imo long term we need to go 4.3.3 anyway.......I am fed up with hearing about him BUT he would work in a 4-4-3..

Gettin a bit sick of all the wesley chat as im sure most of you guys are but that doesn't mean i wouldnt be right chuffed if this were true...

We are not going to sign him ever....fact!

Never mind Sneijder.

Percy

To the poster who said Sneidjer would fit into a 4-4-3 formation ,with such a formation we would be unbeatable.

Sneijder won't be joining United, get over it everyone. The days of United spending £30 plus million on one player are over get used to it, I have. We're three points behind City who have spent 200 million in two years. We have a young squad that will be lethal in two seasons. It's all about youth now. Sneijder will always try to make himself available to United as we've tried to sign him twice but it will never happen now, last summer was last chance saloon for him to join and he f***** it up by being way to greedy.

Best news of the day, Diouf sold to Hannover for £1.5 million

With the money he has got from selling Drinkwater and diouf perhaps he will give Pogba and Morrison slightly better offers or perhaps it goes to the Glazers as a price for not being in CL
ARB

Am actually disappointed that he didn't work out. Isn't Utd quality but I hoped with hard work and improvement he might have contributed to the team in some shape or form. Just wish him all the best in his career as long as its not at our expense.

Wilbur.

'Wilbur'

I agree, Diouf will be a success in a lower league and team and he will be prolific. We only paid £2m for him so we haven't lost a fortune on him, especially as he was on very low wages too. It is looking like United are accepting offers for all of the deadwood now, we need to clear the way for the next clutch of youth players. We also need to trim the squad if we are going to add to the squad or promote the youth.

Sydney!

Sydney,

Do you honestly think ferguson will promote the youth team players ? Today was crying out for some new legs in midfield with giggs tiring, surely pogba was a better option

Is anybody else getting sick of hearing "pogba should be playing" it's every day
he will get a game when fergy thinks he is ready , if his not getting a game with the injury list we have or a start in the cc I would of thought that maybe fergy doesn't think he is ready.
United have a few problems at the moment and fergy obviously doesn't think pogba is the answear.
People seem to be pinning all there hopes on a young lad who has only played a few minutes of first team football , who might not even be at the club in 6 month
pogba could be a great player for us in 2/3 years but we can't wait that long , once the injuries are over we have a strong first 11 add 2/3 real quality signings and it could be great

What is the point of having youth players if they aren't played?
It annoys me that we persist with players who are past their best. I'm not saying that I don't rate scholes or giggs, I do, they can do a job.
But moving forward they aren't the answer. It shows our lack of ambition in the transfer market and in promoting players.
I'm certain that pogba can do a job!

the thing is fergy has never had a problem with promoting youth before as long as he feels they are ready, I actual think it is one of his strong points.
Maybe the truth is that his nor quite ready ask yourself this who knows better people on this site or fergy

Pogba couldnt of done any worse than a few we had on the pitch today.

i blame fergie. Taking scholes off and leaving giggs on? What was that about? And play AL in all the remaining games this season. With Amos or Johnstone on the bench.

Don't blame Fergie,
Blame the owners.

We can rely on Scholes game in game out, he's just come out of retirement. It is a bi product of us lacking in midfield. Yes it is becoming a cliche dragging the midfield problems but they're so impotent, especially without Rooney.

What was wrong with De Gea? There is seriously a witch hunt out for him and if you think he is a bad keeper you need to go and learn about football.

Welsh Dragon

I meant to say 'Can't' rely on scholes.

Welsh Dragon,
If its doing him a disservice calling him a bad keeper then let's put it a different way. We cannot afford to have him in the nets this season. He has now cost us too many games. I have yet to see him deal with a cross convincingly and in English football that will cost us time after time.
Dingle

Welsh Dragon.....

Are you being serious with that comment. De Gea was awful yet AGAIN

Welsh dragon,
are you being serious? De gea is awful and I personally dont think hes going to get much better.its all very well pulling off the odd decent save but his handling,decision making,positioning,in fact everything,is terrible for a top goalkeeper.he seems to have no confidence whatsoever and has not one but three or four mistakes in him every time he plays.

Lee

U cant blame the godfather of football, its the players and board u have to blame

De gea has come from the Spanish league, there is an awful.lot of protection for keepers in that league in comparison to the premier league does no one remember reina when he first came over? I'm sure everyone would have been ecstatic had we of paid over the odds for him! Give the lad time! Future world no1

K tubes

I really wish people would stop jumping on De Geas back constantly. To my mind he made one mistake where he was too casual passing it out and it went to a Lpool player. For the first goal he was elbowed by Carroll at least twice, something which keepers would always be given a free kick for. He then made a couple of good saves and distributions but does anyone mention these? Like hell do they!

I see that diouf has transferred to Hannover rather than a loan deal! Good move in my opinion - never likely to break into te first team. Good luck to him!

BREAKING TEAM NEWS: Captain Patrice Evra starts for Manchester United alongside Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs at Anfield. Andy Carroll starts up front for Liverpool.

Just seen on the BBC website that united are thought to be thinking of making a move for 35 yr old Michael Ballack, Bayern leverkusen are willing to off load the player. OH DEAR fergie what you doin.

Don't worry it's not true it came from caughtoffside

Winston

Ahaha......This would be like Utd buying Schevchenko....If you for 1 minute think we are buying Ballack then I think you have been sucked into FM and living like Tron in your weird "any transfer to anyone" can happen world........

The source is the ever reliable caught offsh1te and we all know that there always spot on

Do it. Do it now
