    On his way to Norwich.

    Best winger in the championship gone to a league he deserves.

    I suppose there is space for Aluko to take his place as the best in the league.

    Wouldn't say Snodgrass was the best winger in the league, more like the most overrated winger in the league. Still glad he's left Leeds though as he was one of their better players.

    Meh! It's all opinions but I have seen a fair bit (tws supporting cousin) they will miss him.

    Snodgrass is a moody little she-ite. Superb when in the mood and a Harper-esk type when he is not. Glad that TWS have been made weaker still. I think TWS will struggle this season. Norwich City will be an interesting watch though. imo.

    I - embarrassingly - have family that support TWS. They were heartbroken that Snodgrass has gone.

    It makes me enjoy my day more knowing that TWS fans feel ****.

    I couldn't give a toss who they sign or sell, just like they don't care about us.

    We've done some decent business, but we're not there yet. Let's concentrate on our team.

    Snodgrass is a good player but a total twat on the pitch as well, I'm delighted that we don't have to see him at the KC in the league at least, and also that it weakens TWS. Also I know he plays on the wing mostly but isn't he more of a playmaker type, a bit like Koren on the wing? He isn't exactly a pacey tricky winger is he?

    Surely we should care the same as we'd care if Wolves sold Fletcher, Bolton sold Petrov or Cardiff sold Whittingham. It's a rival selling one of their better players, surely it's a good thing whether you hate Leeds or have never heard of them.

    My family had hatred for TWS engraved into me as a young kid being risen. Hating TWS is in my blood!
    It's even better because my brother Married a lass who's family supports TWS, so my in-laws are the ones I can l have banter with all the time. Gets me through the days!

    Anything that makes them weaker, and far more of a chance of doing badly in the League, makes me want to Party!



    Time to step in Party Hull! ;)

    He's never had pace but he was tricky at times, and his delivery and set piece play was excellent at times, which is what we'll miss most. He's not as big a loss to us as our rivals would like to think, and it's worth over 2.5 million to us which will go back into the team.

    He destroyed us sometimes when we lost 4-1 and scored a great free kick in the 2-2 draw the season before. Pleased he's gone though.

    That was more or less my understanding; that he is more about quality on the ball than taking players on, so even though he plays out wide he isn't really a winger.

    +Can anybody honestly see Master Bates allowing all of the 2.5 million to back into team building. Looking at previous financial antics of the man I cant

    I've always wondered why people hate snodgrass. I wouldn't say he is a twat, he can do some stuff that will cause other fans to get annoyed at him but we have had considerably worse in that department over the last few seasons

    He takes players on as well. He isn't quick but then again he isn't slow either. His acceleration is good so he is still able to beat a man but not sprint away from one. I don't think it'll be the set pieces we miss from him, while they have been good, they have been very inconsistent to say the least. His corners either do not beat the first man or fly over the top, his freekicks are good though. He will be sorely missed and any leeds fan that says different is high

    Unless it's a few million on some new executive suites, money well spent!

    Never mind executive suites, they need a new ground!

    Peter Whittingham is the best winger in the league for me.

    Nice to see Leeds fans actually giving a good opinion of him, rather than just calling him **** for leaving <ok>
