    Leeds have rejected Norwich's approach for Snodgrass. Anyone rate him? Could we?

    He's very good. Would piss off people looking for a speed merchant winger though

    Good player,not as good as Lallana though and not what we are looking for in my opinion.

    Haven't we already got the Snodgrass area covered really..? He's not the first priority, I would have thought.

    Not really, pretty much everyone agrees we need someone on the right.

    Why do you think that? Snodgrass is far more technically proficient than Ince.

    Speed of mind added to a good technique can be worth much more than speed of foot alone.

    I would happily take Snodgrass, but I also think we can do better.

    Snodgrass will improve us as a team, but ideally I want players who will REALLY improve us as a team.

    I do like Snodgrass, but I would also like some pace. Do you think the Prem would let us have De Ridder to sprint, then press pause while Snodgrass comes on for the shot or cross?

    Get Beckham in charge of the PL. I'm sure he'd bring that ruling in immediately.

    Best of luck to them. Buying a whole new team. That always works well. Just look at last season: Norwich, Swansea and QPR. And it was QPR who went down the whole new team route....

    At least signing Gunter means they surely aren't actually in for Clyne.

    1 thing you can't quesiton is McDermott's eye for talent. Lucky for us Adkins has a pretty good one too!

    Reading are actually signing players to improve them though, not prima-donnas on stupid wages like QPR. The comparison is ridiculous.

    They're not really though are they?

    I'd expect us to finish the window having signed exactly the same amount as them. They're just adding to their squad, not buying a new team.
