    Didn't Arsenal trigger the Suarez release fee and that didn't happen.
    Barca have been chasing Coutinho for a month. So we're not alone in long drawn out transfers.
    Why are we so happy to put ourselves down?

    According to SSN a senior club official has said €40M is too expensive and he hasn't trained for weeks so probably couldn't play for at least 4-6 weeks. Surely they've known this all along.

    The more I have read about this bloke he is more of a deep lying creative midfielder rather than a defensive midfielder his stats show he made considerably less tackles than obiang . I don't think as a club we can afford to make a mistake with 30mil plus . I was quite looking forward to signing him but the longer it's gone on and the not training part so he gets his move (alledgely) makes me think maybe this might turn out to be a blessing

    we literally have no width in our team now. I don't consider Antonio or Arnie as genuine wide players.

    I think the board and Slav have boxed themselves in now. the formations are going to be very rigid or back to square pegs in round holes again.

    No wide players currently

    Who honestly saw that coming! ;whistle

    I reserve the right to comment later as I will be castigated for what I might say at the current moment if it's true.

    Maybe we are bluffing?

    He's fit enough to be included in their latest World Cup Qualifiers Squad?

    Chat is we are paying 35% of snodgrass's wages.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Oh well, lets pay £30m off the debt then.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    debt should already be paid off
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It's not, still £100m.

    With Snodgrass joining Aston Villa on loan, almost all of the last year's recruits have been shown the door. Surely, there should be an inquest. How did WHU get their recruitment so wrong? Who scouted the players? How persuasive was their evidence? How much money has been wasted? How did the recruitment of dross affect the morale of other players? What changes have been made to avoid repetition of the same?

    Out of the permanent signings last season we've still got Ayew, Masuaku, Fernandes, Fonte and technically Lanzini as he was on loan the previous season

    Not all bad.

    Probably a bit short of attacking mids/wingers now and still lacking a defensive midfielder

    I think Masuaku can be converted/is good enough as a winger if needed. I also believe Byram could also do a job as a wide midfield player.

    Played alot of his football at Leeds as a right mid. ;thumbsup

    I'd rather not keep persisting with "could do a job at..."

    I've just read a transcript of snodgrass' glowing review of his experience at West Ham. Says that he played his best scoring and creating as either a number 10 or on the right

    Yet according to him slav insisted on playing on the left in payet's position

    Pretty damning. He was just one of those who came to West Ham in decent form and withered under slav.

    He was never going to play in those positions though, given the number of players we had for those. He shouldn't have come if he thought he would.

    And he wasn't any better when he did play on the right.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Just not good enough. He did have a lot of mins on the right. Never did anything.
  • alderzalderz
    Antonio played on the left to accommodate him at times and he was dreadful. Sounds like he's trying to justify to the Villa fans that he isn't a waste of time.

    Fixed it for you. :)
  • alderzalderz
    If it wasnt clear, I meant Antonio played on the left to leave space on the right for Snodgrass, and Snodgrass was still terrible
