da bet esporte: Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United must be one of the longest running transfer sagas in recent memory, if not the most annoying. It is clear the Dutchman apparent love to come to English football continues to hit a stumbling block; basically nobody fancies agreeing to his wage demands, therefore ensuring he will remain at the San Siro until the summer at least.
da bet7: I suppose a transfer window would be lost without some sort of saga and we were privy to plenty last summer with the Modric to Chelsea dispute, Cesc Fabregas finally fulfilling his move to Barcelona, while Samir Nasri left both Manchester clubs dangling before the Frenchman decided that he would go for the bigger pay-cheque at the Etihad Stadium. Fleet Street craves these sagas and it helps fill a lot of column inches on a daily basis.
Unfortunately the January window has been quiet so far with the only genuine saga being whether and when Gary Cahill was going to sign for Chelsea. I’m sure we are witnessing the calm before the eventual storm and we are likely to see plenty of activity in the coming week.
The following list focuses on the transfer sagas that have gripped football in recent years and caused something of a stir.
