    What would be the Leeds fans thoughts on Norwich buying Snodgrass for a few million and Grant Holt coming to Leeds?
    I'm not suggesting that this will take place, but it is an interesting deal, which some might see as being a decent deal.
    I know they don't play in the same position and we would need a player to provide the ball to someone like Holt, but cash and a player of Holt's quality may be too much for Grayson and Bates.
    One player we could look at is Sone Aluko of Rangers, he is a quality player who is only at Rangers for the rest of this season. A left footed player who likes to run at defenders and can score goals. Even if Snodgrass stayed with us, I think we should look at Aluko, he would provide competition to Snodgrass and would be an asset to come off the bench.

    Thats a toughy - Holt could do a seriously good job for us but really like Snodders - Also if it was crystal that the 3 million we get must be spent on a CB and say mid/wing then i would go for the deal... Sorry Snodders

    Swapping him for Holt would be getting rid of our main playmaker and bringing in someone who relies on a playmaker. And even with the surplus, we'd never get a player as good as Snodgrass under this regime, no matter what money we got. Keep him.

    I think you have totally bypassed the point of the topic, perhaps you would like to read it again and then respond.

    Get rid of our best player and bring in a player almost identical to a striker we already have? No thanks. Aluko's decent but Snoddy's irreplaceable, also Holt = Becchio.

    I would suggest you have a look at Aluko at Rangers, he is a quality player, faster than Snodgrass, more skillful than Snodgrass and is a player with a future.

    Why would we be able to nick him off Rangers then? If he's better than Snodgrass, he'll no doubt get a new contract there or a Premiership move.

    <doh> I'm sorry but just no. He would be decent backup but would be no more than an average winger for this league.

    Norwich won't get rid of Holt.

    3m on it's own would get him. IMO.

    Yet they offered more than that in the summer and didn't get him? I thought you'd have seen from your exploits in the transfer market how much teams are willing to hold out for for their best players.

    Yeah that's why we turned down a 3.5 million offer from Norwich in the summer <doh>

    Now imagining we would accept a 3m offer why would Snograss want to go to Norwich. Before you say for the Premier league, he's already said he only wants to play in the Prem WITH LEEDS before and this is the guy who turned down a trial at Barcelona for Livingston.

    AKCJ you really know **** all about Leeds don't you.

    I can see him going in the summer if we don't get promoted and a good offer comes in, but as you said Snoddy's main preference is to get into the PL with Leeds. Same with all of our top players.

    Calm down.

    All i'm saying is that after half a year Leeds don't look like getting promoted and Leeds will want to cash in in order to raise funds.

    Afterall, you can't deny the lad a chance to prove himself at the highest level.

    Chill out, ****ing hell.

    We look more like getting promoted than most teams in the division and our transfer policy clearly needs no funds.
