I think you'll find Snodgrass's natural position where he's played most of his career is right midfield, as in the wide midfielder in a 4-4-2. Not that much different to a wing back and he's certainly got the stamina to get up & down the wing to attack & defend. Would you have said the same about Brady before Bruce played him in the left wing-back role, when you would have only considered him to be a winger/striker?
Eric Dier available for £5m... Future International? European experience.. Still very young.. about the same price as Dawson or Maguire too..
I agree with you on that. Bruce does seem to be playing it safe regarding transfer targets.. He said himself in an interview we're bringing in these sorts of players because he knows what he's getting.. Cant blame him for being safe but it would be nice to bring in some exciting talent from abroad.
Perhaps after his lessons at Sunderland, NP proved to be the final straw for him when it comes to taking chances on foreign players!
I hope he didn't nick your wipers, then - you'll never catch him. Especially if it rains as hard as the forecast says.
I feel sorry for the lad, he obviously wants to come here. It's not his fault that the club he plays for is full of deluded ****ers with deluded ****ers for fans.
He came from their academy, he's not going to pass up the opportunity to become a professional footballer because the team offering him a contract might refuse to sell him in the future. If someone offered me a professional contract at Sheffield United I know I'd take it.
Careful - Tickles might actually give you a serious answer, like he did when faced with the question "Accrington Stanley? Who are they?"
utilizing him as a wing back would be daft as **** though he's a beast, he runs like he's loaded on irn bru, and he's got the technical quality to make things happen, he will score goals for us big nosed **** like
When McGuires contract runs out at the blades, won't the ****ers still get something for him coz he's only 18-19 ? Won't be 2 mill though, more like 100- 150k.
