Wesley Sneijder. Dutch Champions Ajax, Spainish giants Real Madrid and the more the achieved Inter Milan of Italy. Wesley seems to have done it all. Won the best trophys, worked with the best players and managers and now at 27 years old he is one of the best, but not this year. Inter Milan finished 6th and they had 3 different managers. With Mourinho gone it looks to be a while before Inter take that top spot in Serie A again, no champions league football next year for Inter or Wesley Sniejder. Rated as one of the best playmakers around.
Manchester utd no longer champions of England and with Citys mega rick stars winning the premier league, surely now Man utd have sturn challenges to face next season, with Chelsea also finishing the season on a high with a double. A new manager at both Chelsea and Liverpool could cause united problem. There players aren`t the best bunch that we have ever seen, but for the future they do have some exiting prospects. It`s the midfield that concerns alot of fans and me being a united fan, i`d like to see a big signing or two.
Last years campaign for Inter was not the best, although Leonardo did manage to stear them back up the table, they lost out to the new look squad of AC Milan. The italian giants had dominated Serie A for 5 years before last years 2nd place finish. This season was a slow start, now on there third coach of the season they are starting to look the more fliud and determind dispite finishing 6th and new manager Andrea Stramaccioni only taking a caretaker role.
Sneijder`s 2011/12 campaign was not his finest.
Harsh to say that Sneijder`s season was terrible, when ofcourse there was a few injury problems for him, another thing both Manchester clubs will take in to consideration. Even though the stats for Inter and Sneijer suggest that they were better off when he didn`t play, he always seemed to make the team tick when he did play, he loves shooting when ever he gets the chance, he is not afraid to shoot with either foot, and playing in the centre just behind the striker(s) means he doesn`t need to cut inside like players such as Messi or Robben. For me Wesley is just as good as Xavi and Iniesta. He is smart, has great control and amazing passing with both feet.
It seems that Wesley Sneijder has failed to go a whole season playing 30 games or more and that`s the only thing i think Man utd should be worried about, his fitness. However he seems now to be fully fit once again and i`m sure he will shine at the Euros in which he plays an important role in a very good team.
Man utd need a new Paul Scholes, and they will find that and more in Wesley, he has the experience now to make any team a good one. This could be utd`s last chance season to sign him. If he does well with Holland in the Euros (Holland being ranked highly) then citys mega rich arab owners could decide he will be the perfect player for them. Or a good start next season at Inter could sway him in to committing to the club. Either way i see Sneijder as a must buy for utd. Fergie should pay 30-40 Million £ to make sure they get him, or he will have to risk spreading his money to strengthen other areas of the squad and try to once again out class City, who have clearly the better side now. We all love Scholes, but at his age and the rich competitiveness of City, maybe he would have been better off buying Wesley.
I give Wesley Sneijder 9.7/10
In that playmaking role he is a world class player.
+ Passing is amazing, short or long and with both feet
+ Shooting, he has a bullet of a shot on him, he can curl when taking a softer free kick, or smash one from 30 yards.
+ Works hard, tracks back, not fast but he has a steady amount of pace when he breaks.
- Injurys sometimes means that he takes time to settle back in and he has not played anything over 30 league games for Inter since his move from Real Madrid.
