People who are advocating signing him - have any of you seen him play on a consistent basis? i.e 5-10 games a year for a few years? I know I haven't so I've no idea how good he is. He could be fucking Messi or Shelvey. Surely someone on here has watched him that amount and will be able to advise whether he's worth a punt?
I suspect he's a load of wank and people are getting carried away by the name and who he's played for, not his performances.
Well he has been at Inter now for a few years.
Under Mourinho we saw the best of Sneijder - a level I thought he would not be able to reach and maintain for the length of a season.
The year they won the treble, what a player he was ...sheer quality, a true playmaker.
Then Mourinho left in 2010, Inter have become a farce ... since 2010 they've had Benitez, Leonardo, Gianpiero Gasperini, Ranieri & now Stramaccioni as managers ... every single one of them changing the system Inter adopt on the pitch, so it's been impossible for not only Sneijder but for anyone in the whole team to find any sort of consistency.
This season, Sneijder has hardly featured and it has nothing to do with his ability or performances ... Italian economy is screwed and all clubs are trying to reduce their wage bills ... Sneijder still has a year or two left on his contract on approximately 200k per week ... but Inter now want him to sign a new contract immediately with a much lower wage level, which he is refusing to sign - and rightly so.
It would be a shame to see him play in Turkey, he is only 28 years old and should be now playing at the peak of his game.
