Forget all the bull about not signing "old" players, Sneijders got at least 3-4 good seasons left in him and if that in the short term helps restore us to a place in the top four at least I'm all for it.
Sneijder instead of Allen , Shelvey or Henderson, any day of the week.
Agreed, tbh. I can well understand the concerns about him re. wages and motivation following some apparent shenanigans at Inter and in light of the Cole experience, however this guy was one of the best midfielders in Europe, possibly the best player in his position, only a few years ago and I can't believe he's just suddenly lost it and is destined to be another mercinary age 28. If anyone had said we had a chance of signing this guy even a season ago you would have looked like a f'ucking lunatic, or worse...lakes10. You would need to interview him and carry out all the necessary checks, but let's not pretend we wouldn't look at him if we had a chance....he is infinitely more talented than Henderson, Allen and Shelvey.
