Ego would have a lot to do with it, Sneijder is supposedly an arrogant enough cunt as well. Very hard for someone like that to accept that they should settle for less in terms of money and the bones of a 150K a week pay cut, even if it would probably be a better career move
An arrogant Dutch footballer? Never. I’d say the fact that no team from any of the top leagues has come in for him has softened his cough a bit. If he lowered his wage demands, then he would be an absolute steal at £7m.

Montpellier president Louis Nicollin has labelled Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is “an ass” for choosing a move to Newcastle.
The defender is widely expected to become the latest French important at St James’ Park but his current club’s supremo believes that the move is pointless as the player will only be resold next season.
Regular members of the France international squad Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa and Mathieu Debuchy are currently at the Magpies, while the likes of Gabriel Obertan, Papiss Cisse and Sylvain Marveaux are all also on the books, having previously plied their trade in France at some point.
"It is not my fault but I think the manager [Alan Pardew] played a role. Newcastle, this is really not a good choice. They will transfer him the next year.
“It doesn’t bother me. We’re not going to cry. He is not irreplaceable. The important thing is that we get money.”
Signing mentally weak French players is a recipe for disaster.
Southampton have approached Inter in regards to signing Ricky Alvarez and Coutinho.
Wigan looking to bring in Irish international Aiden McGeady on loan. Will be doing well to displace Shaun Maloney and Jordi Gomez in their side
Is McGeady doing that badly in Moscow? Thought he was doing alright. God he is a shit soccer player.
Spartak Moscow offered McGeady a new deal the other day.
Calling balbec.
Fiorentina are on the verge of signing Rafal Wolski from Legia. I can’t remember if I asked you about him before but can you tell me about what type of midfielder he is and how good he is or will be.
Juventus have confirmed the signed of Fernando Llorente but he won’t officially join until the summer on a 4-year deal.
I see Yann Mvilla joined Rubin Kasan yesterday
Good signing for Juve-he will seriously improve their attack. The Celtic back 4 should have no problem containing their current attack.
Southampton have had a 10.2 million pound bid for Coutinho accepted
Llorente is shit. Stupid signing by Juventus as Immobile is a better striker and they already have a stake in him. Spanish players have a horrendous record in Italy as well.
I see Yoann Gourcuff has signed for Newcastle as well. €1.2 million. Yet another shrewd signing by Alan Pardew
Bandage, can we add Gourcuff and Gouffran to the list of things that confuse Puke?
Thanks.
Dylan Fahy @dylan_fahy Reports from Brazil that #Inter have reached an agreement with Corinthians for midfielder Paulinho, fee in the region of €18m.
Should be a good signing for Inter. A Paulinho-Guarin midfield is one which will decimate sides physically.
R.I.P Dolours Price
:strokechin:
Zaha has signed for United and will be loaned back to Palace until the end of the season.
As a result Nani is signing for Fulham.
