Just turned 18 and played a grand total of three games with a Bayern team that's head and shoulders better then their opponent 99% of the time.
Also, he's from Bayern's youth ranks and they'd only loan him out without an option to buy.
That's why he makes no sense at all.
his contract runs out June 2015. therefore we have a chance. also his family is Italian

hnargh just ban rakib already. it´s him, 100%.

Wesley Sneijder is still a top top player. Can't find many attacking mids as good as him and if we can get him for cheap why not? He is a hell of a lot better than most players around and is still only 30. He is by no means washed up or old. It could be a Pirlo or Tevez like signing for us.

Tevez----Llorente
------Sneijder---

Thats an elite attack capable of beating any team. Our midfield strength would give them a lot of freedom to create. Also with Pirlo getting up there in age and maybe Marchisio stepping in for him, Wesley would make up for the loss in creativity.

I think if there is an option to sign him for cheap it would be stupid not to.
It would also signal a longterm switch to a 3 man attack. Coman would see alot of playing time as an option for any of the front 3 positions.
I would honestly rather sign Sneijder for 10 million Euro or so than sign many of the players we are linked with for a lot more.
The argument the youngsters wont play if we sign him may not be true given the fact we will be committed to using 3 attackers if we get him so it would more likely be Bonucci to hit the bench with players like Coman and Berardi (in the future) being backups for Tevez and Wesley.

We can't really depend on an 18 year old Coman (who wont turn 19 till next summer) to lead us to CL glory. We need to bring him in to the fold gradually and he can eventually become the superstar we all want him to be.

As for Wesley's Inter past, I love the fact we re taking one of the best players to ever play for them. It will devastate Inter fans and show how low they have become when Wesley, Tevez, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba are putting on our shirt and Palacio, Icardi, Osvaldo, and loads of other $#@!ty players are putting on their jersey. :)
Dude Sneijder is washed up no matter how you put it. He's way past it in Turkish league. Also you claim that Coman won't bring us CL glory but it's not like Sneijder will. Not so far ago we complained about Pirlo's need for cover, now you want to add another lazy player to the midfield?

But IMO that's not the worst about Sneijder. It's the fact he's not the type of player we need. Against Parma we didn't really play 4312 if you didn't noticed. Sneijder is a very central player, always sticking to the middle. If we get him and field along with Pirlo, Tevez and Llorente it'll turn into a very narrow formation in practice. What we need for the AM role is someone like Berardi/Shaqiri/Iturbe or Reus is we're talking about ideal world. Someone who will operate between midfield and attack playing in the middle but also on the wings to stretch the play. Someone capable of making runs behind defenses as well as going with the ball on defenders to create space and advantage. Sneijder doesn't offer that. Pereyra/Coman/Giovinco do. They're more than enough for us to win scudetto again and as for CL Sneijder wouldn't be able to play anyway (he wouldn't help us anyway IMO).

I'm against this route. Let's not hire old fashioned players because they won't take us any further. The game is changing quickly those last couple of years. We need to follow it or we'll never make any impact in Europe with narrow formations like 352 or 4312 you propose. Today's game is a lot quicker than it used to be and we rather have to move on from players like Sneijder and Pirlo rather than hiring them. We may play now 4312 or rather 4321 but in longer term we have to go to a winger based formation. We need wide players no matter the formation. Then you just move Shaqiri/Berardi/Coman/<put a name here you want> which makes it easier for us in future. You won't use Sneijder anywhere else tho.

Tuttosport suggesting Gio out and Shakiri in for January
I predicted it yesterday ;)

He won't add much to the team. We have a more than adequate squad for the league, and what we need are additions that can help us progress in Europe. He may be able to help for a season or two but then we'll have to replace him. We have to look to talented youngsters who can become CL class players, and whose market value would quadruple
:agree:

"it´s well known that i demand more playing time but i have a contract with bayern till 2016. we will talk in the winter break."
"i wanted to leave in the summer but bayern decided not to let me go. i have to accept that."

he so wants to leave.
@LiquidPLP ^^
Nice! :D

I predicted it like yesterday we'd let Giovinco go if we get him. I like him and wanted here for a long time, thanks for the mention :p
