The problem isnt whether Besiktas can afford him, its that theres no way in hell he'll go there. Turkey is where Vass and Harry Kewell sod off to for the end of their careers. Robi showed by wanting to feck off to Brazil to play in front of 15000 fans each week that he just wanted the adoration rather than the pressure. And i couldnt imagine Pele landing a helicopter in Turkey.

Holland's World Cup finalist Wesley Sneijder has told Inter Milan that he has no intention of leaving the Giuseppe Meazza this summer.

Reports have emerged that Manchester United are planning a £29million offer for the classy playmaker after he helped Inter to the treble trophy success of the UEFA Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia last season.

But as he prepares for Sunday's World Cup final against Spain, Sneijder insists that he is fully committed to the Italians and has seemingly crushed Sir Alex Ferguson's hopes of luring the 26-year-old to Old Trafford.

The Dutchman, who joined Inter in the August of 2009 having failed to make the grade at Real Madrid, said: "I am staying. I will play for Inter Milan next season.

"My heart is in Milan. With Inter, I won everything last season and there's a lot more to win, like the European Super Cup, Italian Super Cup and the World Club Cup, which are all great trophies."

Sneijder is aware of Manchester United's interest, but Inter president Massimo Moratti told the Italian press on Wednesday that the midfielder, the joint top-scorer at this summer's World Cup, was not for sale.

I saw Luiz quite a few times over past couple of seasons as one channel here were showing Portuguese league games from previous season during the summer and as there was fuck all else football on, I ended up watching it quite a lot. Unfortunately they aren't doing it this summer so can't say about last season.

Anyway, Luiz was real standout defender there. Easily the best defensive player on the league (including Veloso). Mostly seemed to play centerback but played leftback as well which is the position I think he'd occupy with us. Then again, I don't rate overly attacking fullbacks and going forward seems to be main thing for many in fullback (no wind up) so opinion of him might be diverse on him.

Then there's the fact that portuguese league has got to be softest league in Europe. So it MIGHT take him time to adapt. Then again, as a player he seems perfect fit for modern Premier League in that he is skillfull, yet still good defender so there's real potential in him to be one of the best defenders in the league. Reminds me bit of Heinze, although not as dirty.

One thing that genuinely makes me happy is that we are linked/signing fullbacks who can play in central defense as well and are defenders first and foremost. I like that.

There's a disturbing lack of City bollox around the world today. I reckon the journos have actually run out of ideas after linking every player in the world with us, right down to Richard Wright!

Hopefully the club will soon spring one of their special surprises.

the richard wright thing doesnt bother me. absolutely no point spending money on a 3rd choice keeper.
