What username were you previously known as?
The wage bill cleared down thing is nonsense- I'll bet it hasn't changed much given the new signings and raises given to others.
I think the argument is more, that with limited resources, would we be better spending it on someone who might be in the skill bracket Sneijder is in now, in 3 years time - but still have 5 or 6 years left at that skill level or at least be worth top dollar.
Whatever Sneijder is worth now - he won't in 3 years time - and he probably won't be as good skill wise.
It's like Spurs buying Bale - there's no way they could afford him now - but they took a chance on him when they could - now he's at the top of his game and worth a fortune.
I think he will be. I'll hazard a guess that we will get top 4 with him. If we can get him on wages in line with the rest of the squad I say go for it.Nobody has ventured a guess as to what difference he makes to us. Is he an improvement like Downing was?
Akaaakaaaboootoooo. The one with the perky butt avatar?

I read that as German semen
Cut down price - yes
Massive wages - no
If he doesnt accept 90-100k a week then its not worth it.
Yeah, getting rid of Kuyt, Maxi, Bellamy, Carroll, Cole, Aqualani only saves about half a million quid a week.
What was deleted?So what? We'd be getting a quality player who's only 28 at a cut down price. If he performs like he should he's easily worth the money. We have enough of the young potential ones anyway.
Also if we fill the team with unproven youngsters it's not going to help their development. Having a few more experienced class players is gold for their progress.
Hmm so did a mod too apparently(it was intended as a pun) as it was deleted. Strict rules here these days? 🙂
Makes you comment look a bit 'weird' now too.
Lizard.
What was deleted?
And who deleted it?

One of my posts wasn't visible for a while. It's back now. Dunno if it was deleted and returned or just a glitch.
do you want me to activate your old username mate? if so, PM me.
No thanks, I hate it.
Isn't that what most of us have been saying for ages?
Wow it's like in Matrix. Am I me or am I not?
You are me.
Only if you're bad at maths. And ignore all the contract extensions that added money to the wage bill
