A couple of articles linking us to Leeds' Robert Snodgrass.
I know it's the Mail like but nevermind...ha

These somewhat pleased me to be honest. I'm a fan of both Gradel and Snodgrass from Leeds and would love either of them here, but Snodgrass seems the better player to me. Having already been linked for Gradel a couple of times, glad to see us being linked to Snodgrass now.

He's had a brilliant past few seasons for Leeds and could easily make the step up to the Premier League.
Just what we're after too - young (23), and a winger. Capable of playing either side so there's versatility to consider too.

At a quoted £5m, what are your thoughts, if any?

 

I wouldn't say no, but I would prefer Dszudszak or whatever his name is

 

umm he looks good but i'm still hoping for someone better

 

with 35mil or whatever to spend, i'd hope we'd be aiming higher than that.

 

A very average player, wouldn't do well in the prem.

 

Gradel hasn't convinced me from what I've seen, Snodgrass looks alright but nothing better than what we already have.

 

Snodgrass has always looked class when I've seen him. I wanted us to sign him a while back but I don't think he's really what we need right now.

 

Wouldn't mind to be honest. Maybe a swap deal involving Smith and maybe Perch + plus some money for Snodgrass? Say 2m + Smith/Perch/Raylor. ?

 

Hahaha, wtf?

Back on topic... would be majorly disappointed with this.

 

He reminds me of Milner, too slow to be out on the wing and would be better suited in the centre.

 

Mixed responses then ha. (mainly a no )
I think he could be one for the future. Not an immediate first team player obviously, but for squad depth. He's only 23 and has bags of potential. A proposed swap deal as Sanch- err... Rambo suggested could suit us better.

 

He's not that young, or that good. He's only 6 months younger than Guthrie and people are saying Snodgrass is one for the future?

A huge no.

 

Well. By future I mean like a season or two

Lost cause then haha

 

if we want to kick on next season we need to be aiming a bit higher than this

 

he's decent but i'd prefer gradel..

 

Myna!!!!!!!!

 

I was just watching that at the time, thought i'd put it on my post randomly.

Back on topic, I'd be dissapointed too. I'd expect (or at least hope for) someone of a much higher quality, we should be looking for a strong first 11 signing and Snodgrass doesnt fit that category that's for sure.

 

We should also be looking for decent squad depth too, which Snodgrass does fall into in my opinion. It's not as if we're spending massive amounts of money on him. And if we can sneak somewhat of swap deal into it too, it could turn out a decent piece of business.

All a matter of opinion though of course, I must appreciate.

 

I know you are aiming for higher but how many of you have seen snodgress he is actualy very good

 

maybe he is for Leeds (no disrespect) and lg1 and the CCC but no thanks
