Wesley Sneijder would consider moving to a top Premier League club but is "absolutely not interested" in joining QPR, says his agent Soren Lerby.
Sneijder has not played for Inter Milan since September because of a contract wrangle and has been linked with QPR.

Lerby told BBC Sport: "He is absolutely not interested in QPR and we haven't heard directly from anyone there.
"England probably has the top league in Europe, so it could appeal, but Wes would want to play for a top team."

Boss unhappy with Fryers move

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his disappointment at Tottenham Hotspur's signing of his former defender Ezekiel Fryers.

The youngster was out of contract at Manchester United and looked set to join Spurs last summer but the two clubs could not agree a compensation package. Instead, the left-back ended up at Standard Liege but moved to White Hart Lane as soon as the January window opened.

The manager is urging the authorities to look into the matter as the Reds lost out on a sizeable fee for the defender but he accepts that Spurs' actions were not in breach of the current rules.

"We expected that to be honest with you," he replied to MUTV, when asked about the Spurs deal. "How would you put it? To me, I think it's a blatant manipulation of the rules.

"Tottenham did nothing wrong as he went to Standard Liege. They tried to buy him off us and we'd been looking for a certain figure. They wouldn't pay it but asked if they could take him down there on trial and, at that time, he was out of contract in June anyway.

"So he went down on trial and he went to Portugal with them. They then said they weren't prepared to pay the money and, all of a sudden, he signed for Standard Liege.

"We knew immediately and suspected that he would return to Tottenham in January and that's happened. It's a [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy deal. You know, it's his fingerprints all over it. It's the kind of thing we expected he was going to do."

First Cole now Chamakh that is some inspiring work from Fat Sam

Getting him on a loan will probably limit Carroll's playing time and that cannot be a good news for us.

If they sign chamakh i don't think they will sign carroll

Hopefully Newcastle will stay up and not spend any money in January to bring another striker.

Pato's move to Corinthians is now complete. I know he was injured, went off the boil a little and didn't really fit into what Milan are turning into but he's a very good player with a good goalscoring record and it seems crazy that he's gone back to South America.

The fee branded is around 15me which represents very decent value when you consider the prices of some other players. Have an inkling we'll see him back in Europe soon and probably at close to double the transfer fee.

I like Pato and would take a chance on him but he is on mega wages and FSG would never agree on that type of signing.

He's a backup. If he doesn't know that going there then he's an idiot and deserves to sit on the bench watching Torres fumble around.

Backup for now but if he continues with the same form as he did with NUFC he'll be their starter in no time.

His loss (assuming we were interested in him).

I don't believe we were.

I think we can do better in summer. Much better in fact.
