Snodgrass to West Ham done deal. £7m, with potential to rise to a lofty £10m with add ons. Ehab negotiation materclass.
I think it's great, as that extra £3 mil will really come in handy when we are in the Championship next year!
Bollocks to this. I'm going to stand up for Ehab, never thought I would say that. It's an impossible negotiating position. You have a player that hasn't been training with the team for 12 days and he'll never play for us again. So you either take the reasonable offer or ask for £15m and wait. If the offer doesn't come what then? What happens if it comes in so late we don't have time to bring in replacements. Either way, he'll never play for us again. At least by selling him now we give Silva some money to find a replacement.
Im hoping any new players dont hinder tymon and bowen Anybody else really impressed with bowen? Showed alot of fight and desire were going to need, his offball movement is really good makes some,very clever runs Whats the lad at wolves like? the portugese winger
Totally agree. Whats more damaging to our efforts to stay up, keeping a key player against his will potentially disrupting the whole team? Or getting the best possible deal for the club and letting the player go and giving you time to sign a replacement. We'll never know the whole truth but its obvious from Silva's comments that this transfer is all Snodgrass's doing and if anything, Snodgrass has shown a great disrespect to the club and us fans. By all means seek the best deal for you and your family even if that means at another club but dont lay down the law to the club, missing training and demanding a transfer. Im sure if he trained and played for us he still would have got his move before deadline day.
You just don't get it do you. The loan to Allamhouse should have been doubled and we should have had 10 players ready to join training on January 1st. And then some Chinese businessman would have come to buy us out for £180m and everyone would be happy.
I'm going to throw rotten vegetables at the dirty Scottish ****bag. Stocks should be waiting for the next time he sets foot in the city.
Can we all agree that the players who have left the Club have done so primarily as a result of the incompetence of the owners. To allow our players contracts to run down with no talk of extending their current contracts is a scandalous lack of foresight on their part. Yes both left , but have done so to secure much longer and no doubt more lucrative deals which they had not been offered here.
Why should anyone boo him or Jake for that matter .. the lad wanted a contract to with a certain value and length .. we didn't give him it .. he knew other clubs were circling and chose to push through the move .. loyalty doesn't exist in football any more (with the exception of Totti at Roma) he'd made his decision .. good luck to him .. we move on.
Bright lights of the Smoke wins again Wife strolling down Oxford Street spending money Boro and Hull cant compete with a womans desire to shop FACT
If we knew it as a fact, then certainly. But we're guessing these are the reasons. West Brom and West Ham are bigger clubs than ours and have a much more stable future in the premier league. Isnt it just as likely that these are the true reasons behind the players jumping ship?
Had he gone to Burnley I'd have booed and abused him until my voice failed. West Ham? If he doesn't want to play for us, they're welcome to him. I won't boo him either.
If West Ham's new signing has a sort of Agent Snodgrass moment by scoring an own goal into our net on Saturday 1st April, then I'll applaud him wildly.
