I honestly have no idea. Thats kinda what I was asking really. People seem to be gunning for him under the assumption that he refused to train, but I can't find any quotes stating this was the case. If he was genuinely injured, and unable to train, then maybe we should call off the witch hunt.
Think you're playing with words. Snodgrass is on record saying how much he appreciated Steve Bruce supporting him and making him feel a part of it when injured. Shankly and cloughy used to treat injured players like ****. Wouldn't have them around the place. As I say I'm out of touch with the game. The great Redondo refused to be paid when he was injured in one of his first games for Milan I think and was put a year. I know who I respect more.
Refusing to play whilst waiting for a move is c'ntism of the highest order. Gone,but not forgotten.. Allam's OUT
http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull...uscle-injury/story-30073629-detail/story.html bet he makes a miraculous recovery for the Spammers
Whether he was staying with us or moving he would still want to train if he was able to keep his fitness level up.
Lets face it, football to them is a job. Snodgrass is not a Hull City supporter, so doesn't have any loyalty to us. As a professional footballer it's his responsibility to his family to get the best deal for them. West Ham offered him a better deal than we could, so he's off and I don't blame him. I've done the same myself and moved jobs when a better deal was offered.
haha Im not playing with anything. No manager in the modern era would ostracise a player for being injured! Granted, they may not be able to train with the rest of the team (depending on the injury), but they certainly wouldn't treat them like lepers. You seem to be suggesting that, simply because we looked after him (our asset) when injured that he should blindly disregard all the other **** that is going on with our club, the fact that he was dealt with badly by EA, and felt like he needed to find a better, more long term deal. Putting my self in his situation, I would possibly do the same thing. What I wouldn't do, though, is refuse to train in order to force a move.
If he was injured he made a bloody quick recovery, just refused to train imo. Good ****ing riddance!!!
Snodgrass or any other player isn't interested in "the ****" going on at our club. It's money that's all he's interested in. Do you think Man U players downed tools when all the glazers **** was going on? No they get paid to play and focus on playing. Nothing more. Sc holes was appalled when he was told some players went to the chairman pre season . It's **** all to do with them. Do you think Snodgrass should get involved, hold a fans forum, about some fans standing at west ham and the cock up of the seating plan. The lack of police. God it's a tough job been a footballler isn't it. He wanted more money than we could give him. So he's left. I think he should have stayed. You don't. Fair enough.
If he wanted more money or a lot longer contract then I've no problem with him going! I've no problem with city not giving a long contract to a player who MAY have a dodgy knee? My only issue if it's true snoddy refused to play while being paid? Then in my mind he's a ****!
He wasn't training with rest of the squad. The manager said 'He didn't train with us for 12 days' in front of the national media. Highly likely that he therefore didn't train with the rest of the team.
Funny you should say that, I have it on good authority that since he left us, but ONLY since he left, he's acquired a taste for sniffing dogs ar**'s!
Actually I agree with you and think he should have stayed too. All I'm saying is, I can understand why he didn't, and I don't think we should demonise him for wanting to secure a longer term, higher value contract somewhere else.
Marco Silva said Snodgrass wanted to leave. Its not really a secret because he refused a contract with us. Did Marco Silva say he wanted a transfer in this window? Marco Silva said Snodgrass was injured. He trained with Greg Luer who is also injured. Did he train with Greg Luer because he refused to train with the first team or because he had an injury? Marco Silva said he has a small transfer budget that has now got larger by selling one of our most popular players. Luckily Snodgrass is now one our least popular ex-players.
