Yes, a football player has a relatively short career and has to make the most of it while they can, and Sneijder has had an impressive career to date, but for me does not excuse the lack of ambition that this move displays. He would have got more than enough money in the EPL but has chosen to follow the paycheck rather than give himself a new challenge in a top league. Maybe there wasn't enough interest in him from the EPL clubs, but Turkey is a veritable footballing backwater compared to where he could have played.
maybe he just didn't fancy moving to England, Istanbul has a much nicer climate, after Milan he may have wanted warmer rather than cooler
