Under contract still for 18 months we dont need to get rid now unless he refuses to play which he isnt.
The whole meltdown on here is built on truth that is being ridiculously exaggerated. EA is a ****. I think we all knew that. Why is anyone surprised he is dealing for his own self-interest - his version, at least, as he has pretty much painted himself into a corner and his own self-interest is fatally flawed. Snodgrass always gave his best on the pitch, but I believe we deserved his efforts to the end of the season. But I don't know what EA has done to make that difficult. Personally I think his season form has created demand on the back of his own, well publicised efforts to go to Celtic. Yes, he will be a miss, goals and set-pieces, but he does have options and one of them is to stay. I doubt Silva endorses his loss, but knows it is inevitable and is getting on with Plan B. Livermore came as a bit of a wild-card from Brom. £10M is excellent money for him; I don't think he is worth it and certainly don't think him indispensable - who is? His workrate is being fairly stated, his football abolity is, by some, being exaggerated just a tad. I heard the talkSport drivel last night and heard the nonsense about us owing Livermore and Snodgrass - I don't think they could have picked worse examples - we carried one with an injury and the other with a mental aberration. They have every right to move on, we should too. Will Robbo and Maguire leave? Where to? Do any of you seriouly think they are Champions League players? I would be amazed if anything like is offered for them, but it seems it is open season and mistakes by EA, long before this window, have left us vulnerable. Yes, we are a club who has closed one deal (Jake) and just about closed another (Snodders). We have bought one in Evandro (forget Henriksen). We have also bought loans and also made some. Selling Club? No. A club who have sold? Yes. Just less than a week to go and there is still acknowledged business being attempted. talkSport said our buying strategy is fatally flawed and will relgate us. These are the same gobshites who shouted to one and all, just last August, that we were to be relegated. We filled a slot for the lazy ****s, that is all. Oh, sorry, after 3 years they are finally twigging just how bad the owners are. It did make me laugh that , Tony, a very sensible caller, got short shrift - they didn't want sense. There has been a lot of judgement on what might be. I haven't seen much else but praise for Silva , so is it unreasonable to allow him to close his window, pull his newly formed team together and get on entertaining us like he has so far? As Dutch says: We Are Who We Are. Add to that: We Are Where We Are. **** the owner, get behind the team; on here if not at the game.
thats true, we just extended his contract, we dont need to sell till summer.. but if we can get a bidding war between 2 clubs?
I understand the logic, but that could easily turn into something called 'chasing the bet' and that has bust many a gambler - and EA is gambling, to a point, which will be clearer when the windiw shuts.
But we have already accepted a bid so our evaluation has been met. He can start his own bidding war on contract terms but nothing changes for us.
That might have been interesting... However Ehab decided not to do that and just accept a bid as soon as it got to a number that had been fairly well leaked so everyone knew what the target was Maybe use the money to buy Defoe...see how that pans out to see how we could have played it

Jesus Snodgrass want's £4m a year (£75k a week). That's crazy! https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sp...urnley-move-as-scotland-star-stalls-on-wages/
If any club ever considers buying Diomande their fans will get very excited by a video of him doing a turn Cruyff would have been proud of and slotting the ball in the net. The expectation will be massive.
it does seem strange accepting the bid he could have told the other clubs he'd already had a £10m bid so they would have to beat that and see what happened
EA' problem is that he'd already ****ed up the bid for the sale of the club by dicking around with offers - i'm assuming he must be happy with £10m for Snodgrass so once Burnley had offered that amount he accepted rather than wait for someone else to come along to increase the bid and risk losing the Burnley offer - he may well have eked out a bit more but he may also have lost the offer from Burnley if no other offer was forthcoming and they had walked
Burnley could always get out of the deal - not by some weird interpretation of contract law - but by offering Snodgrass a low wage so I don't think that was an extra risk
