Wesley Sneijder

[XaviMessiGirl]

He and Afellay were the best Dutch players today, almost everyone else was disappointing.

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

Afellay looks like he lacks confidence to me.

 

[jayzsa]

Best player on the pitch today, actually created 10! goal scoring opportunities, better than all of his games in the last worldcup

 

[Jesse1509]

He was excellent indeed. People here were worried about his fitness, but he looked very energetic yesterday. Just a shame we had some acute choking up front.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Afellay looks like he lacks confidence to me.

For someone who hasn't played much in quite some time he looked great.

maybe it's just the way he looks then. To me he always looks like a lost lamb that is unsure of itself.

Sneijder is so 2010, his inter team is playing fine without him. Any team that pays more than 10 millions for him would be overpaying at this point.

 

[Jenks]

Rumours that he's close to a move to Spurs.

 

[impeh]

yeh, heard about that.

seems strange but apparently hes agreed terms on a move for about 12m. (although you'd imagine other teams will be interested)

Hes having contract issues atm or something?

Eh, the guy is quality, I doubt he's lost anything. Good riddance Inter.

"Sneijder, 28, has not played for Inter Milan for three months due to a dispute with the Nerazzurri which was reportedly over his refusal to take a pay cut."

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Inter had been saying it's tactical but then it got out that it was about a wage dispute instead, the offer was to sign a contract extension but for the same total salary as his old contract. Because he didn't want to do this he's been frozen out of the team. I don't think it's that big of a loss if he's sold, he doesn't really seem to have the same drive anymore. Coutinho, Alvarez, even Cassano can take over that space. It's kinda irritating the way Inter handles this type of stuff though, similar thing happened to Julio Cesar in summer.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Sneijder at £10m is worth a gamble to any club.

As the saying goes form is temporary but class is permanent. Seeing as Inter don't have, never have done and never will have class, then you have mitigating circumstances.

You would know, Torres played for liverpool.

 

[PearLBLacK]

From one perspective, he'd greatly benefit Spurs and probably replace Modric. Completely worth the 10m.

Then on the other hand, he'd demand higher wages and probably come with a high profile attitude, demanding game time over Dembele and Sandro even if they're in better form. Not worth it obviously.

 

[Gervinho]

I hope he goes to Spurs, yes he was world class, but hopefully he will take something out of their wing play which is so hard to play against. Bale and Lennon on each wing means they are always threat and you cant focus on one wing. Sneijder with his ego will demand to have the ball alot more and stop that wing play and he's a lazy player as well. Spurs with Van der vart was basically easier to play against as the guy had no defensive game and was slow and lazy, and he could never play 90 mins. Sneijder is only gonna come to the PL as only PL club would be dumb enough to spend money on him and his crazy wages
