Conor was the best midfielder in the Champ last season, and already has 4 goals this season. He should be playing week in week out for us. To oust him for a loan signing is ridiculous tbh. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted August 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2017 He answers a problem we don't have, will result in greater chopping and changing to keep everyone happy and because Bruce will be further away from an idea of what his best team is, and we already have a cast of thousands. I guess he's a good player, or was until January anyway, but I'm not at all excited by this signing. I don't think we needed anyone, but if we did, it was a left-winger, not yet another right-sided player, and one who has basically announced on arrival that he doesn't want to play on the left FFS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahead of Green, Elmohamady or Hourihane? He better be good to do that! This is the point I've been trying to make, I don't think he improves the first team tbh, he's a decent player and definitely bolsters the squad though I'd also pick Grealish over him when he's back, welcome Snograss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 26, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2017 Players get picked on merit, and that's all I'd ever expect from a football team... if he's the best option he plays if not then someone else does. It's a long old season though, and I'm sure he'll play an important point in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael118 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Good signing and an upgrade on Adomah & Elmohamady. Makes a nice change from all the downgrading we've been doing lately and since we were relegated. Edited August 26, 2017 by Michael118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where he plays. He plays centrally then I agree, if he plays on the right I disagree. He brings a lot more quality on the right than Elmo and it's clear Bruce doesn't fancy Adomah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's absolutely clear that he is here to play in his best position, on the right or behind the forward. Some shuffling to be done then. I really like his confidence. Definitely believes in himself.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Apparently Permanent fee already set. http://www.footballinsider247.com/aston-villa-fee-agreed-pl-club-29-year-old-attacker-insider/ Quote ASTON VILLA HAVE FEE AGREED WITH PL CLUB FOR 29-YEAR-OLD ATTACKER – INSIDER Aston Villa have a fee agreed with West Ham to make Robert Snodgrass’ move a permanent one if he reaches clauses in the loan agreement, according to a Hammers insider. ExWHUemplyee, who is a reliable source of West Ham information has claimed in on a column on The West Ham Way that the east London side will pay around 30% of his £60,000-a-week wages during his loan move and that the Midlands giants have the option to turn the move into a permanent one.

Keener window-cleaner Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm very happy with this signing! Didn't think we would have a chance of signing him. I agree that right wing is not a position we need to strengthen really, but if we have the opportunity to sign a player of his calibre we shouldn't hesitate. If he is fit and in form he must be one of, if not the, best player in the Championship in this position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 We don't score many goals away from home do we. The one we did score at Bristol came from a deflection. Theres no question that we need more quality from wide areas and Snodgrass will give us that. I think its an excellent signing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
