villaglint Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Snodgrass would for me be a signing similar to Matt Ritchie to Newcastle last year. However by all accounts we've not got a pot to piss in so it's difficult to see how this can happen unless it's a loan and even then you'd imagine plenty of PL teams would be interested. Have we even been linked to him or is this just pleasant VT speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of thought cover for Taylor was paramount yes....but then again, we are talking about Steve Bruce! Just a thought, but maybe John Terry could persuade Baba Rahman to come on loan from Chelsea? Don't think he is likely to be in Chelsea's premier league 25 man squad is he? Was on loan at Schalke last year....he's probably better than Taylor to be fair!

Obviously I sort of know Joe from VTFC days, but a guy I work with is part of Joe's extended friendship group. I spoke to him today and he said the interest from Villa is real, and that Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds are also interested, but obviously Joe would be choosing Villa above all others. He's desperate to play in the Prem with huddersfield but given they've just signed Tom Ince I think he knows his playing time may be limited. Also, it's likely to just be a loan. I hope people know me well enough that I wouldn't make this up, I'm just passing on what this guy told me. If it's wrong then I'm blaming him! I'm now told he's off to Barnsley for £1 million. Dunno why. Edited August 9, 2017 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping we can find someone to do this valuable running, who can play a bit. Edited August 9, 2017 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So as I understand it at the moment we cannot buy anymore players because we don't have the money, but if we get into the premier league we would have all the money?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a case of we don't have the money. That makes it sound like the cupboards are bare. I believe it's more a case of we're not allowed to spend the money we have because of FFP. Happy to be corrected though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Snodgrass linked again. Id be happy with a loan but definitely not full time. he is 29 we have enough 30+ players in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC44 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We're going to panic and end up signing someone like Snodgrass on a 5 year contract knowing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we make some more astute purchases FFS. Where is our scouting? Just asked a well-connected Hammer in the office. Without prompting, the response was as bolded above, followed by "He's been nothing but pony since he arrived". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snodgrass is 30 in September and on the decline just look at what West Ham fans think of him. Also I'm not fond of the idea of us giving Porno dwarf and Werewolf money for their used rubbish.

Czechlad Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Adomah was 2nd in assists for our club last season. He was technically first for Villa assists. Why is Adomah being written off so quickly? I don't think we need 6 wingers at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think Snodgrass has great quality in that left foot of his and provided he stayed fit would be a good signing. 29 is not exactly ancient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'd be very happy to sign Snodgrass. Yes, he was poor for West Ham, but he was carrying an injury and was excellent for Hull in the first half of the season. I think he'd be a great addition for any Championship team whether signed permanently or on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
