Saint Billy Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Man City in the frame so forger it, not that there was much chance anyway.
TopGun Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/18/football-transfer-rumours-wesley-sneijder-southampton Southampton are done now, finished, old hat, yesterday’s news. Which makes them and Wesley Sneijder a match made in heaven. Ronald Koeman, who is basically finished as a manager now, wants to sign the Galatasaray schemer. He’ll have to hurry, though, the bulldozers will be circling St Mary’s soon.

KingdomCome Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Nobody taken the "I would love it, love it...if we signed him" bit yet? No? Baggsy mine then.
capitalsaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 (edited) No he wouldn't! Sneijder is a No.10... who will replace Steven Davis. Schneiderlin is a DM! What if we signed this chap as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyi_Lin As a pair they'd do a pretty good job of replacing Schneiderlin imo Edited 18 December, 2014 by capitalsaint
SuperSAINT Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Apparently NO interest from us... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/416007/Wesley-Sneijder-transfer-news
S-Clarke Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Apparently NO interest from us... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/416007/Wesley-Sneijder-transfer-news I think the only link to us came from that fact that Koeman is dutch, and that they share the same agent. There was never anything more concrete than that! He's way out of our league if we're honest! He's a top international midfielder still at the prime years of his career.

VectisSaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Apparently NO interest from us... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/416007/Wesley-Sneijder-transfer-news Good, probably confirms he will sign for us in that case.
The9 Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Sneijder would certainly soften the blow of losing Schneiderlin in the summer. We could then be able to lose Sneijder in the summer and Schneiderlin in the summer. God help us when it comes to people spelling the guy's name right though. He'll be Schneider before you know it.

There was never anything more concrete than that! He's way out of our league if we're honest! He's a top international midfielder still at the prime years of his career. I'd say he was comfortably on the downhill slope from his 2010 peak, and exactly the kind of player we need. Right position, still an upgrade, strengthens the squad in our weakest position and potentially a nice "in" with the manager via the agent and nationality.
Roo1976 Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 My mate Bob says we've got no hope. my mate Hope says hes never heard of Bob......
LGTL Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Koeman confirmed in press conference that we are interested but can't afford his wages so it's a no goer.
Matthew Le God Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Koeman confirmed in press conference that we are interested but can't afford his wages so it's a no goer. It still appeared Saints are interested, Koeman said similar things about Alderweireld before they signed him. If Sneijder doesn't get an offer from a huge club in January, perhaps he'd be willing to compromise on wages to play in the Premier League with us.
St Chalet Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 According to this he is on £50k per week. We have had players north of that figure. Also he would have the added advantage of actually being paid. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/10/wesley-sneijder-galatasaray-failed-wages

Both on loan.

So nearer £90k per week for the club if they are to be believed. It's always net east of Dover, players don't care how much they cost, they care about what they get.
St Chalet Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 There's a house on Sandbanks where the difference between net and gross is not apparent.
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Great player, but Id rather we signed a striker
beatlesaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 There's a house on Sandbanks where the difference between net and gross is not apparent.
Delboy Dave Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 We've still got players on more than that. Both on loan. Really? I thought it was reported Fonte was our highest paid player on £45
scotty Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 It still appeared Saints are interested, Koeman said similar things about Alderweireld before they signed him. If Sneijder doesn't get an offer from a huge club in January, perhaps he'd be willing to compromise on wages to play in the Premier League with us. Yep, Big Ron said exactly that about Toby. And it seems a bit odd to start a sentence with "we are interested" and then say we can't afford him. Not that I think the signing is likely to happen, just seems an odd way of putting it.
hasper57saint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 I don't usually post twice on the same thread but be prepared for a big 'surprise in three weeks time'
simo Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 I don't usually post twice on the same thread but be prepared for a big 'surprise in three weeks time' We have a ITK'er!
UpweySaint Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 Think Roko saying he was interested was more of a general comment. If he was asked if we were interested in Bale would he say no? Course not! Realistically any deal would be a long shot but stranger things have happened.
Sour Mash Posted 18 December, 2014 Posted 18 December, 2014 I don't usually post twice on the same thread but be prepared for a big 'surprise in three weeks time' Whats going to happen in three weeks time?

Hatch Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 I don't usually post twice on the same thread but be prepared for a big 'surprise in three weeks time' and choosing to post this little snippet on the Sneijder thread was just completely random yeah ?
Charlie Wayman Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 Love the way Ron dealt with this question, no evasiveness or double talk just head-up straight-on dry humour. Best quote of our year by miles. There's only one Ronald Koeman. Don't let him slip away through frustration Les.
Golden Balls Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 Yep, Big Ron said exactly that about Toby. And it seems a bit odd to start a sentence with "we are interested" and then say we can't afford him. Not that I think the signing is likely to happen, just seems an odd way of putting it. I'm sure we're also interested in Messi and Ronaldo too, but can't afford them either.
No 2 to Maybush Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 So is this FFP biting us on the ass?
trousers Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 So is this FFP biting us on the ass? Calling Redslo to the main board please. Redslo to the main board.
The9 Posted 19 December, 2014 Posted 19 December, 2014 So is this FFP biting us on the ass? More likely to be us realising we can't afford Sneijder based on how much Katharina wants to spend, which is fine.
trousers Posted 29 January, 2015 Posted 29 January, 2015 http://www.fanatik.com.tr/2015/01/29...undemde-410825 Koeman has changed its mind! Sneijder on the agenda again Southampton England Premier League teams took Wesley Sneijder again on the agenda. According to Habertürk, technical director Ronald Koeman 's his Southampton , Wesley Sneijder took the chance to trial decision. Previously, "Sneijder, we can not pay the salary," he changed the decision of the Dutch legend. Koeman, the government gave the report to only one missing is a virtuoso like Sneijder.Brits now preparing to play the door of Galatasaray. Yellow-Kırmızılılar before Juventus 's turned down the offer in excess of 10 million euros. Galatasaray 's 1.5 years more contracts with Wesley Sneijder, net 5 million won per year, including the yellow-red club to match the beginning and signature of money.Sneijder this season, Galatasaray jersey he scored 5 goals in 24 out official competitions and made 2 assists.

david in sweden Posted 29 January, 2015 Posted 29 January, 2015 He's on a reported £2.5million-a-year at Galatasaray so he would have to take a massive pay cut if he came to us. that's around £50K /week ...(if my maths is correct?), surely not so much more than the 40K we are supposed to be paying Ramirez and Osvaldo . .......he has a genuine internatiional pedigree and must be worth it .

verlaine1979 Posted 30 January, 2015 Posted 30 January, 2015 Unlikely to join, but a good progressive number 10 might enable us to play effectively without Pelle if he got injured. The reason we look so toothless without him is that although we have very quick alternatives, our MF isn't really equipped to retain possession in the attacking third.
captainchris Posted 30 January, 2015 Posted 30 January, 2015 Unlikely to join, but a good progressive number 10 might enable us to play effectively without Pelle if he got injured. The reason we look so toothless without him is that although we have very quick alternatives, our MF isn't really equipped to retain possession in the attacking third. Yes but also we don't play anyone close enough to Pelle. When we get the ball to him he is too isolated. We are playing with two wide men and not enough bodies centrally. This is part of the reason we cannot keep possession.... It is also the reason Pelle cannot find a teamate quickly when he has the ball at his feet. It is almost the polar opposite of Poch who flooded the pitch centrally and retained possession. A compromise would help perhaps....

Were you captain of the Titanic?
