I meant their peaks. People sometimes just see Scholes last year or two and think he is overrated when fact is he was brilliant throughout his career..

yap... if we just look the least 2-3 years it's wrong..

we must look when scholes at his best age..
damn, all the team mates of him still wonder, how can he delivered a golden long/short pass.

imo, scholes more complete than xavi.
even zidane said the one he miss in his career was to play same team with scholes.

but, it's now another story, wesley will make his own legend history.. :)

Sneijder: "Inter I never turned my back, I'm at home here"
The market is over, and Wesley Sneijder, after many rumors that he wanted close to Manchester United, Inter remained. Interviewed by a local magazine, the Dutch once again reiterated the desire to stay at Inter, not refusing, however, a possible future in a big club like the Red Devils. This is what gives a preview of the national FcInterNews.it: "Inter I never turned my back - said Wes -. If not the biggest club in the world, is certainly the second. Of course I can not speak ill of Manchester United would be crazy not to consider this option. There was a time when I knew that was the deal with the United way, but in the end he's done nothing. Do not know why the deal has not been completed, perhaps they have lost confidence in me, I do not know. "

"Surely - continued Wes - the situation is not comparable to when I was in Madrid. There, I wanted more, there was a chance and I left. This is not so, I am happy at Inter, I'm happy with the President who does not let go of me. Would not be fair, he gave me a great opportunity when I was in a difficult period of my career, and do not forget this. At Inter I feel at home, I wanted to stay. "

After a great show with the Netherlands, Sneijder is ready to resume his hand even for Inter. Two years is not easily forgotten, especially when played at this level, and even Wes knows this!

Perhaps Sneijder is not the ideal replacement for Scholes, perhaps only Iniesta and Xavi are comparable to Scholes. But wait, MU is looking for a player to replace Scholes or to compare with Scholes? Then why did AF mention about Iniesta and Xavi? Are Iniesta and Xavi the ideal replacement for Scholes?

For SAF, only Xavi and Iniesta are on Scholes level. Not way off tbh.

Many said the same thing, Sneijder is not a great CM, he is a great ACM.

LOL....It's funny that most inter fans in here knew this would be the outcome. Once you can't get your man, you try to pass it off as something that was never on your agenda.Wesley has more class in his left nut then schools has in his whole body. Absolute LOL at SAF comment about Xavi and iniesta...it was just a couple of weeks ago that he was deepthroating Wes.Sour grapes!

I dont know how we are bitter here. SAF said Sneijder is a fantastic player but not ideal replacement for Scholes. That doesn't even mean Scholes > Sneijder.

"Sneijder is not the ideal replacement for Scholes. He is a fantastic player but not what we we're looking for to replace Scholes. Only Xavi and Iniesta are comparable to Scholes."

Yes Manu never wanted him, but somehow Wesley has openly said that they had approached him to sign up the club.!!

WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT! :lol:

It's obvious that the old mans up too his tricks again. Such a sore looser, as he's shown in the past!

Then Sneijder said thsi

Do not know why the deal has not been completed, perhaps they have lost confidence in me, I do not know. "

So before Anzi made a bid, there was SAF's interview, Gill's Interview saying we are not signing him.

We dont even know what went behind scenes. Only thing we know is "We had a chance to sign him before Anzi made bid for Eto'o. We could have wrapped up the deal way before Anzi made the bid but for some reasons we didn't".

According to MM and Branca we didn't even make a bid.

Edit: SAF is a winner ;)

ManU were interested, but i also dont think they made a bid. All that money and bidding war was english media bull shit imho.

I really dont know why you feel so offended by Fergies comments. He never said Wes is not good player or something, just that they are not seeing him as a replacement for Scholes, that's it.

Sorry I don't think he ever said that... Unless it's another fake quote from the English tabloids. He openly said 3 days ago in an interview with gazzetta that he was in direct talks with Manu, but then the eto deal came in. I mean you're saying that Manu says they never ever wanted him, but here you have the player himself saying that he was in talks with the club. Even if an official bid wasn't made, why be in talk with someone of that much value, if you never needed him at the club in the first place. If there's something about SAF that I know for a fact, is that he loves to flip shit and play these games. It's very evident here...most Manu fans here even admit to it.

I'm not offended pav... It's just typical SAF and his games he plays. Think about it, if Wes was never ever in their plans, then why even think about going for him(let's leave out the fact that there was personal contact). You wouldn't throw 40 mill on a player who doesn't fit your team...right?

Thats why they didnt throw money ;)

As i said, of course they were interested, maybe even aproached, who knows. But since they dont see him fit enough, they didnt offer.

Though none can be sure whats actually going on behind the scenes, thats a fact... :)

Why would you approach someone you don't need....Makes no sense!There doesn't have to be money involved, the intent shown was already there...CLEAR CUT

We approached but we didn't make the bid. I dont know what to draw from that. Point is SAF didn't say anything bad about Sneijder, that so many here are getting offended (Not including you though).

Also the quote I posted was from that very same page.

SAF didnt say anything bad, and it would be silly for ppl to take his comments the wrong way. But i look at it like this..........why go inside a brothel, spend hours on end checking out the hookers, then finally ask the right hooker how much for a fuck, if you know deep down you just dont fee like having sex at that time. The whole scenario just has SAF's mark of mindgames all over it.

He did not have to say it. I think it was an arrogant statement and only meant to cover up the fact Manchester failed to land him. All good though. Wes might not be a large guy but he has a memory like an elephant. Wes will recall the English coach's words and take his precious team apart when next they play Inter in CL.

they (man u and SAF) wanted sneijder, I think they are trying to cover up the fact that they didn't get him by saying such things as they didn't need him. At end of last season when barcelona carved them up SAF, saw that he needed a play maker out there in midfield that could control pace of game and deliver deadly passes to rooney who was like the only man u player that showed up to really play barcelona. SAF thought well who is good enough for such a position and sneijder was the first to come to mind. Outside of barcelona midfielders = xavi, iniesta and real Madrid's CR9 the only other play maker of such caliber is sneijder, who has the ability to deliver precision passes and also the ability to control and take over a game.

The funny in which I pointed out to a friend was that if senijder was to go to man u they would have to change up the formation to fit his playing style as currently SAF uses a 4-4-2 flat with fast pace wingers in Young & Nani, which is great but what they lack and will lack for rest of season is a midfielder who is a play maker. I don't see man u winning any champions league title without a play maker in midfield who can take control of a game, they should make it deep in champions league but they wont win it.

We have changed our playing style from last year. I have said many times Sneijder's best position is behind striker where Rooney is playing now. Since the turn of the year he is playing that role with Hernandez and Welbeck, he is too awesome to change that role.

Signing Sneijder wont take us closer to Barca. We need a midfield destroyer. We need someone who works very hard and wont give opposition any space, who can mark players out of the game.

Also looking at the way we have played till today (This season) midfield is not a problem. Anderson and Cleverley are playing well and we have fully fit Fletcher coming back.

Also I dont think there is any need to cover things here.

Edit: When was the last time we played with Attacking Midfielder? Scholes played there for few seasons but apart from that we rarely played a pure CAM..

Ummm, how would Iniesta be any better than Sneijder playing CM in 4-4-2? Xavi would also be very suspect for this role in physical english game. They are made to play in a midfield three.

Sir Alex knows he lost against Barca in midfield and that he will continue to do so without proper playmaker to control the game. Anderson and Cleverley might look good right now, but against Barca they will most likely be like headless chickens chasing shadows. I would never bet you to win CL this year. I, for one, believe Sir Alex wanted to play 4-3-3 this season. Without playmaker such as Xavi or Wes it doesn't make sense. This would have been great for you guys, since you have good wingforwards in Young and Nani, plus very versatile and mobile forwards in Welbeck and Rooney.

Oh yeah, and while Sneijder isn't great central midfielder right now, Ferguson knows he would have been one under his tutelage.
