AntrimBlack Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Surely too old for the PL. For the CH - depends on the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 31 in September, but agree with people wanting him signed permanently. The price has to be right, but he's got a good football brain and has experience. We shouldn't all be obsessed with age and pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously not as accomplished as Terry, but I get the impression he's been just as positive an influence on a presence level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted May 17, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2018 In the 93rd minute he ran 30 yards at full pelt to block a clearance. The ball span in to the corner and we basically kept it there until the end of the game. Gladiator. Absolute man-love from me for Snoddy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's splitting between players who just seem to ooze an easy predisposition to their arena and those who graft hard to become really good. I'm a bit doubtful myself, as the former still have to work bloody hard, but they just make it look automatic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say i think the difference is that skill is learning to apply your talent effectively. I give you Jack Grealish as exhibit 1. Unless you're George Best, you can't generally get by just on talent. I don't really see the grounds for saying Snoddy doesn't have talent. Sure, he's a grafter, but he's a rather good one, no? He was offered trials by Celtic and Barcelona when a nipper so he must have had a bit of a spark about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
