  • We've been looking for a right back who most are satisfied with for an eternity now. You cannot keep saying there might not be the right one available window after window. It's a poor excuse. It isn't as though many supporters are yearning for a Dani Alves - just a solid reliable one will do!!
  • I quite like the one at Bournemouth. Thank it's Adam Smith? Always impresses me when I watch them.
  • a) Does he want to leave? b) Do they want to sell? c) How much?

    If only it was that easy.

    I like the idea of making our own Sam Byram as no 1 RB, but we need a back up as Arbeloa is not deemed good enough....
    Glen Johnson in the summer ;ok
  • jay

    Can't see Johnson coming to us to be back up to anyone.

    ex spurs and millwall ;nonono ;nonono ;nonono ;nonono
  • Grey , agree not now , but I don't see why not in the summer ;ok
  • Dean Smith (Brentford Manager) -

    "We have had offers from different clubs for Scott but all of them haven’t met the valuation.

    "We keep our business strictly private and we will say no to people if we don’t think the value has been met."

    Shouldn`t this be in the anagram thread or trivia thread. Because I would have arranged the words in a different order if it was me. ;biggrin
  • Why is Snodgrass so popular?

    I think it's the beard
  • Suzanne,

    He takes a good free kick but would be disappointed if his arrival, IF it happens, were to mean Feghouli left as I genuinely believe he has alot to offer.
  • Not sure why it means that Feghouli would leave. Payet out Snodgrass in.
  • sweepy,

    ;ok we can only hope that is the case if Snodgrass joins. I was only going on the concensus who believed he would be allowed to go once a few new players arrived.
  • He said he wanted to stay.
  • I think snodgrass will end up playing a mixture of roles; he likes playing on the right hand side so he can cut in and Antonio could be moved to the left, or he could play on the left and Cresswell overlapping/supporting will create enough space for him to deliver, or finally, in the 3 at the back system he could just take Payets position, so Lanzini and Snodgrass tucked in centrally a touch and playing off a CF in a more free role to compensate for his lack of appetite defensively. Still though, the though of him putting in quality crosses for Carroll and Antonio ..... ;wahoo ;wahoo
  • Niang to Watford, there may be trouble ahead? ;biggrin
  • Apparently it's a loan with an option to buy which becomes obligatory if he plays a certain number of games. You would have thought other Prem clubs would have looked at our expensive mistake and steered clear of deals like this??..

    ;doh
  • Ning Niang goolly goolly watch ya Ning Niang Nong ;quaver ;wahoo

    See Hull are on the verge of selling Abel Hernandez to WBA, added to Snodgrass going and Livermore already gone. Getting £30m in total for the three of them. Mason injured. Diame went in the summer.

    All it needs now is for Robertson and Huddlestone to jump ship and that will be the lot gone.
  • Snodgrass medical tomorrow according to Jinxed on KUMB. Take it how you want.
  • On SSN that he's having a medical and discussing terms tomorrow after choosing us over Burnley. Wonder what happens if it goes pear shaped, does he go cap in hand to Burnley.
  • It won't go pear shaped Thorn. He's a Hammer ;ok

    Now for Hogan...
  • Get Defoe, sell Payet.

    Net spend £3m.
  • He may not be everyone's first choice but he does seem like he's coming unless something really does go wrong

    Get the impression we won't be seeing Antonio on the wings much anymore, will be interesting to see how Bilic fits him into a midfield/attack where you'd imagine Carroll, Antonio and Lanzini are guaranteed starters

    Battle between Feghouli, Snodgrass and Ayew for that last spot, 3 very different types of players

    Have to imagine that baring Payet moving then the Hogan deal is off. Gutted if true I really fancy him and think he could've been a great buy but we'll see how the window unfolds
  • Speaking to a couple of Leeds fans and they think he's a great signing. They say he was great for them and he gives everything.
  • Happy Robert Snodgrass Day ;wave
  • Chelsea's Serbia defender Branislav Ivanovic, 32, is in talks over a move to Zenit St Petersburg. (Daily Mail)

    West Ham and Celtic are vying to sign Fenerbahce's Turkey full-back Hasan Ali Kaldirim, 27. (Yahoo Sport)

    What about Ivanovic for RB?

    Hangeland on Adebayor ;lol
    I was marking Adebayor in midfield. Suddenly he said: ’Ah, I’m hungry.’ I replied: ‘What?’ He said: ‘I can’t wait for the game to finish. I’m so hungry. Do you know a good restaurant in London?’ At Palace, when we had strength workouts, he would sit in the gym with a cup of coffee and a muffin. He was being paid by City, Tottenham and Palace at the same time, and he was sitting in the gym drinking coffee.
