Wesley Sneijder still on? This is interesting, for any of you that may not have seen it

I can't see us signing Sneijder now, imagine how Cleverley and Anderson would respond to him coming in. Fergie has already said in the past that if a club makes a big signing (i.e Torres-Chelsea) that there is immediate pressure for the player to be in the first team doing well. If we spend £30m+ on Sneijder Fergie will not want to put him straight into the team because Cleverley and Anderson have so far been fantastic. Plus, Rooney has been playing fantastically in and around the final 3rd where Sneijder would ideally like to take up attacking positions. In short the Sneijder signing would end in him stepping on too many current (and brilliant!) Utd players!

However, I'd rather we had him that City.

Done Deal:?Ǭ†Inter Milan have signed midfielder Andrea Poli from Sampdoria on a season-long loan deal with the option to make it permanent thereafter. (sorry for copy and paste) got me thinking sorry maybe this is the replacement inter have been talking about. Or people have been hearing maybe this free sneijder for his transfer to united it's gone quite that's how fergie likes to work food for thought:)

Sorry to bring this up again but apparently Sneijders agent has announced on twitter that his new club will be announced in the morning. Might be a fake account though.

I am so excited about the next 49 hrs come on saf you know it makes sence for ws to be in the red of manchester


UNITEDFORLIFE

Agree0 Disagree0

I have a feling that the big suprise we have all been waiting for is Rodwell to us for 10million and Gibson. Hope it is WS but really dont think it will happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

You have to say that Sneijder would be SAF's choice due to Sneijder having the Cantona effect on the youth just like Cantona had on the class of 92, but Gotze is where the Glazers would want to do business. Low wages and would have a huge sell on fee.

Sydney!

Hell if I win the euro millions tomorrow night I will bid for WS or goetze myself........ lol

Arsenal to make a move for Goetze having making him a signing they will like to make before the window ends

Believable5 Unbelievable9

Arsenal have been quoted 35m (£31m) by dortmund mate, it's not gonna happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal are sht, who would wanna go there after they lost a game 8-2..

Ozwald

Agree0 Disagree0

If a club says 35m euros, that means they will go down to 30m euros. £26m is worth paying for him. His wages would be pretty low, I am talking 40k-50k a week.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

If dortmund have actually put a price on his head and said he can go for that price then I would expect to see him leave now or in Jan.

I really hope that this will force fergie into bidding for him now.

United arnt interested in him, hes not better than what we have

Sneijder in his latest interview today ( 29/08 ) when asked about his future says only a miracle or something crazy should happen for him to move to another club..
What do you make of this Ed ?? {Ed007's Note - *sob*

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Sneijder knows he has blown his chance of a move.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

In my mind, he is saying that he wants to come to us in an obscure way, as miracle's are things that help people, right?

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats right he no doubt does want to come to OT but as Sydney says, he has blown his chance by messing us around with regards to his wages. SAF has quickly tired of the situation. His decision helped by the form of Cleverley. I would still like to see one more midfield face before the window closes though.

Eljero Elia, Erik Pieters and Wesley Sneijder video where Sneijder talks about the transfer. Can anyone translate dutch apparently i'm told Sneijder's saying the deal is still on.

nos.nl/video/268242-e%e2%80%a6/

Believable9 Unbelievable6

Also interested i translate the script but it doesnt mention anthing to do with transfers...?

Simon.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes.. when asked about his future and would he be moving elsewhere he said:
"Crazy things have to happen for me to move to another club." He was literally saying a miracle is needed if i have to move..
To me it sounded like he was really tired of the whole saga. I think from watching the bodylanguage like he wanted to move, but didn't think it will happen. But that's just my personal opinion from watching the interview. Don't think the move will happen. He didn't think it will happen and I don't think it will happen after watching the interview

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 17:50:43
If Pogba was to be introduced to the first team then why not so far?
I mean he can come in then be played as a sub?
its fairly obvious that someone else is coming in.
Even the average pundit thinks we need someone else.
So im sure SAF does also, how many ex players and even a dam coach has mentioned sneijder on more than one occasion. There is always fire with smoke.
Regardless of smoke screens ;)
lol.

Anyways to sum up. I expect another player with experience to join up before the end of T/window.

Simon.

Dont just click unbelieveable.
Leave a comment to back it up you tw*t

I 100% believe Sneijder is on his way. I can't wait


TEDDY BEAR

In an interview aired today he states it would take a miracle for him to move to any club now......with only 2 days to go i cant see there being enough time to sort out terms etc. even should the parties wish to re-negotiate. oh well, let the kids show us what hey can do

Agree0 Disagree0

Dream on ,how many times and how many people have to tell you 'no more signings'before you get it ? ....andog

Agree0 Disagree0

Well he said crazy things have to happen for him to go to another club ........... eemmm does this mean avenues have being explored for a move and if it is as he said well then there must be talks taken place or have taken place ether way imo we will have a new player come thursday

what's the crack with pogba,is he going to get a game
jred

Believable2 Unbelievable8

We've had some pretty tough games so far. I expect to see him first in a Carling Cup match.

Agree0 Disagree0

You can't just chuck him in. Carling cup games and FA cup games and maybe even CL games if/once UTD have qualified.

I think he will be given a chance we have Fletcher for the DM role

fergy on berb
"He’s a really good professional and he’ll play his part, like all the players on the team. It won’t be at this moment in time because the space between games is good. Then we’ve got the international break for two weeks and, when they come back, the European games start up and Berbatov will be involved as he’s got the experience and the ability to play a big part.”


“We had a couple of calls but I’m not going to sell Berbatov,No way. He’s first-class, the lad, I must say he’s been tremendous"

29 Aug 2011 15:49:09
I really don't think we either need to sign or will sign anyone else before the window shuts. We are playing great and fantastic to watch and we still have fletcher to come back and given the way the squad currently is that will be like a new signing in itself.

Believable11 Unbelievable10

Lets not kid ourselves too much; great win but few teams are going to allow us to play like that or leave huge spaces for runs. They made us look good but we will need the craft to control midfields and breakdown much better defending.

Agree0 Disagree0

We need a world class cm its that simple otherwise we will be left behind by the citeh lot, we are playing well but its 3 games in and the depth is not as far as it was in our squad

Agree0 Disagree0

Can understand your point of view - but one thing many has not caught on - the weak Arsenal team scored two goals, maybe even three had it not been for De Gea The game was too open - Arsenal had shots on target because the defenders were left alone to defend as Ando and Cleverley just watched several times - you cant do that against better teams. Yes its only three games in and they will improve but it could be a different result next time

Agree0 Disagree0

We need scjynder(sorry for the spelling) badly as post previously both Anderson and Cleverley have a habit of ball watching insted of tracking thier men. Fletcher will be a welcome addition but will not bring us to the next level we need

Damian M

Agree0 Disagree0

I know you have apologised for the spelling Damian, but Im sorry I had to note that "scjynder" is by far the best spelling i have seen yet of sneijder (i think?) :) I agree with your post though

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 15:42:36
For those still interested, the line from Inter and WS at the moment seems to be that "he's an Inter player for now, but anything can happen in the last few days". For me, this means that as of right now, there is no offer on the table, but they are expecting one more to be made. Anyone know any more or have a different view?

Believable13 Unbelievable5

United will not make another offer. Inter in my opinion will cave in to the previous offer as will Sneijder. Then again he could stay at Inter, he doesn't mind either way he's settled in Milan but wouldn't say no to moving to a better team. I still think it will happen but it could not. We don't need him anyway (except for in Europe maybe when teams play a different style to that of the Premier League) our weakness is not making goals its preventing them We need a midfielder who can take the game by the scruff of the neck. De Rossi of Roma would be my choice, but I fear he may be City bound before the window closes.

Crazy stuff ay Arsenal, nearly felt sorry for Wenger yes :) Pile money and nothing t do wit it Still trying to bargain on every player, tight french Splash the money and buy the players or he gonna lose RVP as well Ah well all the better for us

Agree0 Disagree0

I haven't heard anything, but I have a feeling he may have Aly Cissokho lined-up to come in? If not then it is a very strange move.

Id have thought they'd be intersted in Baines too, but it might be a bit late for Everton to want to do buisness now.

Any chance of us off loading Carrick before the window shuts? What about 'Arry? The difference in the team without him and Berbatov slowing down the play is unbelievable & brilliant to watch - Berbatov is a great player that just doesnt suit our style of play...shame for him Fergie wont let him get first team football elsewhere.

Believable21 Unbelievable2

Carrick just signed a new contract a few months ago so hes not going anywhere.
Be good to cash in on Berbatov though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just cause he's signed a new contract it doesn't mean anything just means we can get more for him

Agree0 Disagree0

Contract just means he isnt walking away on a free at any stage. Agree with the inital post - both players slow down play, hold up the ball and can never see Carrick playing some of the passes that TC has played over the last few games.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed, both slow down the play too much to fit in with our style. get rid and re-invest (probably too late now though for this season)

o my my how come someone with great logic miss this hint to speculate...i have no sources.. but if SAF is promoting pogba and expecting a lot from him in future.. then a man is comming to cover that 2 to 3 season gap.. who could be his mentor as well.. and my logic points heavily to DE ROSSI.. everything matches.... Any view EDs? fellow friends?rodio17

Believable3 Unbelievable15

De Rossi will either stay at Roma or be at City by Wednesday. City's reps are talking to his as we speak.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think De Rossi would be a great player to bring in, just what we need for 3 years until the young uns gain the expierience.... HERBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

City bound chaps im afraid.
God knows what there team is gonna be like once they get him

Agree0 Disagree0

Where the hell will he play??? They have De Jong and Toure already in that position.... Maybe City are gonna start a b team as well :-).... HERBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

Sad if he is city bound...i dnt hate city they have money they are spending it..but why on earth player dont undstnd...only 11 can play.. they already have berry and de jong.. still united are best.. they wil not win. team wins ... individual brilliance not.. sometimes they do...it wil take a cpl of season for them to play as team. rodio17

Agree0 Disagree0

Di Rossi is the type player we need, he'd be a lethal buy, we've got the attacking talent, we need strength in midfield, not Sneijder, Nasri etc, big strong powerhouse midfielder and we'd be elected

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 10:53:17
would love to see Kaka at OT rather than WS as I think he ain't that good and Kaka would fit our play better

Believable9 Unbelievable23

Kaka is finished pal, his legs went well over a year ago.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Kaka in his day was the best in the world but in THIS day his knees are gone, he would not be able to cope in the Premier league.... HERBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah maybe back in Kaka's peak of his career he'd be better than wesley sneijder but atm that is definitely not the case..

Agree0 Disagree0

Kaka is finished? are you for real, his goal last night proved he has still got the speed, technique, skill, movement to damage any defence in the world.

For me Kaka made the wrong move going to Madrid, he has had no luck but is still a class player, i would like Sneijder or Kaka at Utd both experienced, and top drawer players. My opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:46:05
Lets give anderson,cleverly,pobga a chance at least through the first round groups of uefa and until the next transfer window after which they would have encountered chelsea,liverpool,city and then we review their perfomance,thus shld we add or not..,guys

Believable9 Unbelievable14

At the moment the team are on a high (and rightfully so) but I do believe we will struggle against the top teams, we still need that expierienced CM playmaker to come in.... HERBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

Not always as straight forward as that, clubs are more reluctant to sell mid season etc.. I'm confident in Fergie, he will do the right the thing.

I know I would feel more comfortable if we had some extra cover for evra this season anyone agree...

Believable21 Unbelievable4

Yes..... In the last couple of seasons his form has dropped, if he did'nt have such good players to cover for his mistakes we could see more games been lost.... Very worrying.... HERBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

He's very bad at the moment. I had hoped a break this summer and a good pre-season would give him a boost for the season but he has been diabolical.

J Bones.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have to agree Evra has been at fault for a lot of our goals. He is great going forward but was found wanting last season in defence and again yesterday.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ye i agree - great win but against a p**s poor arsenal team, worst i can remember, glad about the 8 scored - but they did score two - makes me worry a bit coz they are cr*p

Agree0 Disagree0

Evra has been lacking for a while he is getting on now and perhaps its time he steps aside and give Fabio a chance like Rafael got his last term

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly, maybe sir alex should just plump for youth for the entire backline, get in fabio at leftback and see how he performs. i dont think he'd do any worse, would he? to be honest, the only defender of experience we need at the club is vidic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats what im saying we should go

SMAL-JONES-VIDIC-FABIO

Smalling already proved himself last year and Vidic is just class Kones will take ferdies place and Fabio should have a chance to prove himself

Agree0 Disagree0

He does seem to wander off station a lot these days was particularly visible yesterday

We do not need anymore player, I'd love to see Sneijder at OT but we just don't need him

Believable9 Unbelievable16

Come one , yesterday game was not to the standard , Bolton will give us harder times than Arsenal, I was not happy with De gea as well, a worrying sign that was lost due to victory, I watched City, what an attack unit Villa-Nasry will transfer them ton a nightmare, I didnot have the feeling about our midfield yesterday.
we need Snjider and anybody who denies this need to rethink football.

Agree0 Disagree0

At last some sense Well said. I don't think some of the posters on here realise how stupid they sound saying 'what a great result, all we need now is WS' HELLLOOO, we just put 8 goals past Arsenal what planet are they living on. I would be surprised if any of them have ever seen Utd play other than on FIFA on their Xbox. Please don't come back with some rubbish about Barcelona and how superior they are, yes they are a lot better at the moment, but WS in our team wouldn't have made a scrap of difference in the final in May. Stop moaning, support your team

Agree0 Disagree0

It is cloud cuckoo land to think that Utd don't need at least 2 in midfield (dm/am) - it's a long season and this midfield will struggle against the likes of Real, Barca and City (as they get stronger) and poss Chelski (this window or next)

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2011 23:58:59
Why don't we sell Berbatov and get the money for something else. I know, you guys will say that He was our top scorer last season but He will not play more than 15 games this season and don't know if He scores in each game, so there's no need to keep a player like him with high wages on the bench.

UTD4LIFE

Believable12 Unbelievable6

He is on the transfer list my friend, but unless we receive a good enough offer for him we aren't going to sell are we? After Malaga's loss tonight, I believe they may come in with an offer for Berbatov. But don't hold me to that. Don't be surprised if PSG up their offer too.

I believe Gibson, Diouf, Berbatov, Macheda & Kuszczak will all be out of OT by Wednesday. Would love to see just one face come in.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Syd,

would you expect us to sell or loan out diouf and macheda? the rest i would sell (and carrick if we swapped him for modric) hehe

however diouf has looked good pre season and whilst macheda had a bad spell on loan i would like to see him on loan in the prem to see what he can offer.

also with wellbeck out for 5 weeks and owen still at the horse racing would you not expect us to keep one of them for now?

oxford red

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont be an a**hole..
HE HAS BEEN A FAITHFUL SERVENT FOR THE CLUB

Agree0 Disagree0

'Ox'

All have a valuation, but I can see Macheda going out on loan with the rest being sold. We have enough goalscorers in the team to deal with Welbeck's injury. Young, Nani & Park can all score goals and we have Owen, Rooney & Hernandez.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

'No name'

I like Berbatov, I think he gives us another option against stubborn defenses, and he has been a great servant to our club. But the fact of the matter is, he will be sold if a club meets United's valuation. He is on the transfer list, hence the reason he cannot get a game and United have held talks with PSG. If PSG up their bid he will be sold.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

As usual typical bulls**t on here from the likes of Sydney. Why the hell do people ask sydney's opinion on anything, he has been rattling for ages that Berba will be sold, get over it our top scorer is staying and for one im pleased about that.
I doubt if Sydney has ever been north of watford gap let alone been to OT, fed up of hearing his crap and him thinking he is an expert and in the know, as far as I can see he knows jack s**t about anything.

Red Daz.

Agree0 Disagree0

'Red Daz'

Read my last post you tart, I like Berbatov too. But the only way he will be a United player come Thursday is if another club didn't meet our valuation for him. As for not being near OT, hows about living in Salford from birth til 18? Gimp.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Syd,

Have you seen the transfer list? if so please let us know where so we can all see berbs name on it.
thanks in advance, although i highly doubt you'll be able to point me in the right direction.
