I think this can pretty much end the Sneijder hopes. link I know this was a week ago but the fact he said himself he would like to play in Spain seems to suggest he will hold out for a move there.

^ fair enough but i still think it will be interested to see how he fairs playing for a better team. I think he could just be another Roy Carroll. Boruc however has proved he can play against the best with his Champions League performances, conceding 1 goal against potential champions over 2 legs. Now that for me is pretty impressive.

I admit this is a poor example but im at work so cant type for long periods at a time.....If Sorenson had a great game but then made 1 mistake it would cost us the game. If Foster had a great game and made 1 mistake he would be still man of the match because they lost 4-0 anyway. Do you see my point?

If that was our midfield I'd feel sorry for opposing defences but id feel sorry for our defence a lot more.

we talk about improving on what we have and taking us to the next level and then we talk about Ben Foster. Dosent make sense to me.

If we are even interested and a top 4 club doesn't decide they want him. Well I suppose there are a couple of things that give us hope. Firstly, the MON factor. I believe he could convince anyone with his enthusiasm. And secondly, as always these days, money. We clearly have a wedge, and these are the type of players that we might have to pay silly wages for at the moment to get to come. We may have to behave like Middlesbrough do in the Premiership if we want to get the best players on the European front. Oh yeah but MON might have looked at and dismissed both Van De Vart and Sneijder. Yeah but that could be the case of every single player mentioned on this thread. Meaning no thread would exist.

1. Not much chance of us getting him, Valencia are front runners as they have actually made a bid. 2. Probably around 9 to 10mill, bargin really. IF however he deciedes he would prefare to play in the premiership I then think we would be favorites to sign him.

Its because we didn't want him.

Delaney cant be injured forever. When/If fit he will still have a few years left in him and for me he is one the best full backs in the league. I remember when he used to make Ryan Giggs look ordinary. He will be good cover for our new right back.

Geremi would be a good signing as hes a very good player but would not solve our right back problem. For that we need an established right back and its hard to think who it could be!

Ajax are one of the biggest clubs in europe. :? But we do have the premier league which is a big attraction. Also haven't Bayern missed out on the Champions League which will dent their chances.? Ajax are a big club and do have a rich history but they also play in a poor league and have always been a selling club. We are a bigger club in that respect.

I don't know about that, when on form he terrorises pretty much any defence. Barca couldn't handle him and they are European champions.

^ But we are Aston Villa. We are destined to return where we belong.

There is a compilation of hes top 7 goals on youtube dubbed over with "sleeping in my car"!!! whats all that about?? Cracking goals but no way is he sleeping in my car.

I'd say he's like a Lampard, always trying to get in the box and likes to hit it from range. He's got a hell of a shot on him!

I think Sneijder could be a real possibility if he wants to play in the premiership. Some may think he would only join for one of the big four but he wouldnt be guaranteed first team football at one of these clubs? The chances are though he will go to Spain.

If you look at the recent history of our signings I'd say the sucess rate has been alot higher with players from abroad so id say its probably a good thing if this is the case. The only worry i would have is how long it would take for players to settle and team to gel.

Shoddy journalism. Every club in the world is technically a 'possible destination'. Scharner is below us. Might sound snobbish but I believe he is. Whenever I have watched Wigan he has always been the player that has stood out for me. plus he would dye his hair claret and blue. thats what you call dedication!

^ not a bad squad player i guess.

I'm sure someone on here said he was a dead cert!? Oh well... If he is going to Portsmouth than I doubt MON ever had him in his sights and has got other defensive targets in mind. If we want our man against the likes of Portsmouth, West Ham, Everton etc we will get him. Like in the case of Young.

Its the most exciting name we've been linked to so far though. Pure powerhouse players like Appiah are suited to the premiership. I'm picturing him in the Defensive midfield type of role that sits behind the defence. Is this where he plays or is he more an attacking midfielder?

If we pulled this off I think it would be one of the signings of the summer. Awesome player who is rated as high as Essian in his homeland. Now thats saying something.

^ still think keepers look better than they really are when they play for poor teams.

I don't think Foster will ever make it as first team keeper for United for the simple reason he isn't good enough. For that reason I hope we don't sign him either because I feel he no better than Sorenson.

sooner have Sorenson in goal tbh. crap teams like Watford make a goalie look good because of the amount of saves he has to make per game. He can concede 3 and still be man of the match at times. A truly class goalie is one that makes match winning saves when had nothing to do all game and also commands the area. Not one that concedes goals scored by the oppositions goalie!
