John P Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Could Snodgrass play as a number 10? He has a lot of the attributes to play there but not sure if he ever has? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 A lot better than anyone else we have for that position currently. Unless any of the top 6 were after him or someone abroad his best move would be here by far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If we want a LW or #10 we'd be better off buying a LW or #10 rather than buying a RW and shoehorning them in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If Hull sell Snodgrass, in the position they are in, they want their heads looked at. He's refusing to sign a new contract and the Allam's want every penny they get before they sell up. It's not Hull letting him go, it's the Allam's.

Ronaldo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Snodgrass we need, we lack depth on the wing which is why Gouffran has played quite a lot. He's not a winger, though. He just gets put out there so he can play the free role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'd hope we'd go for younger and better than Snodgrass. It's a Villa signing, we should expect more. Still can't believe we wasted any amount of money on Murphy, so worried this one will actually happen. Rafa is a bit hit and miss in the transfer market so far.

He just gets put out there so he can play the free role. Neither is Gouffran but I don't like out and out wingers, just players who can actually play decent in wide positions.

Snodgrass still isn't the type of player we should be looking at, unless we fear we. Won't make it up with this squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 He'd be a decent signing, squad player for a couple of years then sell him on. Low risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't believe we wasted any amount of money on Murphy, so worried this one will actually happen. Rafa is a bit hit and miss in the transfer market so far. Seriously? Absolutely transformed the club from top to bottom in terms of recruitment. Handled outgoings better than any manager we've had before by rinsing every last penny out of Spurs and Liverpool for two players who didn't want to be here. Bought the right blend of talent and hard working players to create a much stronger team ethic which sees us top the league (the main objective no matter what). It's blatantly obvious Snodgrass would improve our squad. So what if Murphy hasn't featured much, he's part of a close-knit squad who are all pulling in the same direction now. What would you prefer? Riviere and Obertan? I seriously hope Rafa never comes into contact with some fans' opinion of everything he's doing for our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Rafa is always a bit hit and miss in the transfer market in terms of top quality, he has always made questionable signings at most clubs, however what he does better than most is gets them to play as a team and signs players to fit his tactics and formation. He could go out and get a top class player, but that would not necessarily be beneficial to the types of teams he creates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have brought shola back if he wanted a dressing room mascot that won't see the pitch. Love the relevance of shitebulb & riv. I'm sure at some point it will dawn on me why that would be a preferred option... Nope still nothing. TBH I wouldn't have bought him at all, not if Rafa is only going to play one striker, I'd have just kept it till next season, same goes for Snodgrass, Judge however is interesting now he's come back from injury and I wasn't really sold on him either (but others on here have made me see the errors of my ways) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Murphy was signed as a back-up. If back-ups aren't needed that's a good thing. Not having that back-up would have been bad. And no point keeping Armstrong around without football for his development. Rather a proven striker coming towards the end of his career, who is - seemingly - happy to be a reserve.
