Inter consider selling Wesley Sneijder in January after contract dispute
• Talks over wage cut for Holland midfielder stalls
• 'If it stays like this, the solution is on the transfer market'

Internazionale will consider selling the Holland midfielder Wesley Sneijder after talks over his accepting a wage cut stalled. Sneijder, a standout player in their 2010 treble season but Inter's top earner with a €6m (£4.9m) annual salary according to reports, again looks set to be left out of their match against Palermo on Sunday.

"Sneijder isn't playing because the coach doesn't think he's at his best, above all psychologically," the Inter president Massimo Moratti told reporters. "For us it's natural to look for a way to not be forced to sell him and he has the right to not accept our offer. If it stays like that, the solution will be on the transfer market."

Inter are without a win in three games after Monday's 1-0 defeat at Parma and have dropped down to fourth place, but are only four points behind leaders and champions Juventus.

Utd bound? doubt we'd get him considering his wages. I'd swap Arshavin for him.

Agents are taking so much money out of the game:

It is the second 12-month period in a row that City have topped the list, having spent £9.66m between 1 October 2010 to 30 September 2011.
Liverpool committed £8.6m to fees, while Queens Park Rangers spent £6.82m.
The £77m total spend by clubs between 1 October 2011 and 30 September 2012 is up by £5.13m from the previous period.

Its quite simple ban agents and l am sure the clubs and players will quite easily come to amicable deals that suit both sides as agents are nothing more then blood suckers who are only interested in feathering their own nests.

I have never understood why clubs pay agents, in any other industry if you want representation you have to pay for it not your employer

[sherer]

what's even worse is that the agents are all FIFA licenced ! How can FIFA allow this system.

Imagine how much cheaper it would be to see a game if we didn't have 77m going out of the game each season. Plus that's just the recorded figure, wonder how many back handers are unrecorded

Its seems the fat spanish waiter is starting to weave his magic.

Thought handling outside of the area was a straight red? Seen other goalies who have done that been given a straight red card. COME ON THE HAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
