Wishlist Wesley Sneijder

[Matterz 67]

Would rather hae Modric over Sneijder or Pastore! His transfer fee will cost less, his wages will be less and he has Premier League Experience

From what I read in Google Translator, it's saying we want Sneijder & if we pay Inter enough, for them to buy Pastore, then they'll sell.

Same here.

That's stupid...how about we simply forget about Inter and get Pastore?

Sneijder won't be joining us or United. Great player, but I'm glad because I don't really want him at Chelsea, as I said before I'd prefer someone else like Hamsik .

[neel 257]

So Neymar and sneijder are gone. What next

[Clevemayer 764]

Mikel gives the ball away cheaply?

You're either blind/braindead/bitter or too apologetic of bigger name players like Essien and Lampard if you're gonna say that. Ridiculous.

[neel 257]

Sneijder is better passer than pastore who can feed Torres. Pastore is great with individual brilliance. But now as Sneider snubbed us we should move to Pastore

[Blue Armour 4,312]

What I don't get about this "sell mikel/essien" argument is the fact that we're trying to add something that's missing from the team and not trade parts of it for something else. If we were giving up someone who was no longer contributing/contributed like Quaresma or SWP it would have make sense to sell them...

Come on Max. He's not that far off the truth.

For all the great qualities Mikel has (and he has quite a few) giving the ball away is one of his major weaknesses. Can be worked on though.

Mikel's ball-retention is nothing short of superb. Have you not seen how skilfully he finds his way out of tight corners while multiple opponents hound him? I could provide you videos reflecting this, but I can foresee idiotic remarks like ''youtube makes anyone look great"

His major weakness is that he is a little immobile and ungainly with his challenges, though he is improving in the latter aspect.

Like I said.. He has good qualities. Control & composure are some of them that allow him to work that anchor role very well.

However he does lose the ball stupidly at times, I've seen him doing it a couple of times every game he plays. That being said, he usually makes up for it by being great at other things, like interception and man-marking.

Sneijder will not leave Inter. I do not see what you hope

spot on mate.............hes one of the essential players of chelsea.......i will b sad to see him go.........n will never trust our board if we will let him go..............

[Madmax 9,219]

I know it's irritating to look up the Sneijder thread and find a Mikel debate, but I simply had to post this in response to the frankly false claim that his ball retention is poor :

And while we're at it, Lampard and Essien are miles worse at control and distribution, let alone retention.

My last post re Mikel in this thread.

I'm agreed with Madmax here. He may give the ball away a few times, but this year Lampard and Essien gave the ball away far more time than Mikel. And at the opposite of them two, Mikel doesn't look like a hopeless newborn when under pressure.
