ewerk 26803 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Has he been any good in recent seasons? Looks like he's been first choice for Napoli which bodes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Can't say I've watched him in recent seasons but his leadership qualities are something we're definitely a bit short of in this squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership and a bit of backbone. Mitrovic should be out there for the latter, no one else in our squad has that sort of edge. I'm hopeful that we'll get some of it from Lejeune.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He is. He had one 6 month spell of scoring goals and West Ham shat their pants and chucked money at him. 50 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: My West Ham mate reckons snodgrass is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 6 goals in 37 games for Norwich in 2012-13, 6 goals in 30 games for Norwich in 2013-14, 7 goals in 20 games for Hull last year. Snodgrass is a decent number ten and a major improvement on anything else we've got, especially at the price he'd cost relative to current market rates.

trooper 940 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 No wonder Rafa's having trouble shifting players just reading about Colback on £70,000 a week still got 2 years left on a 5 year contract. De Jong got 3 years left on a 6 year contract. They may not be worth much in the transfer market but the wage bill will be crazy for players not playing. One worrying fact i took was although we got Colback on a free, if he sees out the rest of his contract he'll have cost the club £17.5 million. Yet there's loads of them De Jong, Riviere, Mitrovic, Saviet, Krul there's probably a few others. Even if we loan them out we'll have to pay a portion of their wages.

Mitro's on 60k...He was asking 70k and nearly didn't sign remember. Haidara 45k...People like DeJong would have been on 30k at Ajax so we probably doubled that etc...Not sure it's wise to dish out these long contracts.
