Latest Rumour [Robert Snodgrass]

[Marshy]

I'd take snodgrass over ince any day of the week if it was a choice. But wouldnnot think we are interested in either.

 

[Hillian1]

In other news Derby have placed Tom Ince on the transfer list

I wonder what daddy will make of that.

 

[dadams2k11]

As mentioned previously Derby are willing to let Tom Ince go and I would sooner sign him than Snodgrass.

Ince who has never had Prem experience, not saying he couldn't cut it, I don't know, or Snodgrass with Prem experience?

I personally feel we will sign better but if I had a gun to my head and had to make a choice it would be the Snodgrass.

 

[Albion Robster]

Ince is so overrated IMHO.
He's a good Championship player, but would struggle in the Premier League.

 

[Seasidesage]

Not sure where Snodgrass would fit in but to say he isn't a decent PL player is ridiculous

Didn't Ince play in the PL with Hull the last time they were there?

Edit - he did, as well as Palace and Blackpool.

 

[BN9 BHA]

The one Rumour I want to be true is AJAX away in a friendly!

No thanks, I would rather we play a German or French team.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

8 million for a player who turns 30 soon. Is this another one your of classics ?

30 isn't that old and £8m isn't that expensive.

 

[spence]

30 isn't that old and £8m isn't that expensive.

It is for us. We have to spend wisely

I like this rumour:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ton-pursue-Arsenal-target-Henry-Onyekuru.html



From the article:

'We helped bring Dimitri Payet to West Ham and firmly believe that Henry is on another planet even to Dimitri.

'We brought Jordan Ayew to Aston Villa and his brother Andre to Swansea, both were sold for big profits but I don't think they could lace this kid's boots, he's that good.'

'Eupen have bids from Anderlecht and Club Brugge while the exhaustive list of clubs to have made other offers includes Arsenal, Red Bull Leipzig, Schalke, Borussia Dortmund, Monchengladbach, Lyon, Lille, Monaco, Nice, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Roma.'

It's in the bag.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Who? Why would we want a player with such a silly name?

 

[severnside gull]

I believe a number of clubs have looked then questioned what they are being "sold" in terms of age/ background etc.
As for Snodgrass: 100 PL games, goal ratio of 1:5, pace & resilience. Not the best option but not a bad option. Ticks a lot of boxes.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

CH said the German would be used as #10, where would we play Snodgrass?

 

[jimhigham]

I'm not fond of the idea of paying over the odds for "marquee" signings. Our scouting and acquisition team got us to the Prem by being shrewd in the transfer market and unearthing gems from cheaper sources. Groß could turn out to be another in this mould. Personally I'd like to see us keep that going rather than buying into the Palace approach of blowing £30+ million just because we can.

Henry Onyekuru looks a better option than either Snodgrass or Ince. I'm sure we can outbid the teams listed!

 

[Alba Badger]

Snodgrass hasn't been the same since his knee injury when he first joined Hull. Had a good spell early this seaon but been right off form recently. Dislocating and breaking a knee cap will take its toll. Great player when he signed for Norwich. I hope I'm wrong and it's just a blip.

Lots of time for the lad, extremely nice bloke. And what he did for Stirling Albion while on loan will always make him a God in my eyes but his best days are behind him. 5 mill and he'd be worth a punt.

 

[dennis]

CH said the German would be used as #10, where would we play Snodgrass?

Nein, I would suggest

 

[Alba Badger]

Snodgrass is normally played on the wing.

This in buckets, with spades thrown in for good measure...

I think Chris Hughton and Tony Bloom will have the scouting team out looking for raw talent from abroad, rather than every Tom (see what I did there), Dick or Harry who becomes available just because they have Premier League experience.

 

[OzMike]

He got my dream team loads of points when at Hull.
