We're not in such a luxurious position as to turn down someone of his quality, attitude and approach.

See Sheffield United away last season.

He'd be great here for another season, loved it and made a difference. He's worth a few points over the season.

The problem i see is why would West Ham want to loan him out again?

There's must be other clubs that would buy him outright and we really shouldn't be getting involved (IMHO) in actually BUYING him at his age

A year loan with zero follow on commitments would be great though

only don't they have to be linked to  a buy deal at this stage?

They can't sell him unless abroad. And he won't go.

He's got 2 seasons left on his current deal so he might do a straight loan though I'd have thought a loan to buy would be what Wet Spam would be after.

Agree entirely. His enthusiasm is infectious. The other players love him. And aside from hat look at how many goals he was involved in. He played a huge role last season. He just needs to be used sparingly; same with Green, Albert even Jack. We need rotate better so adding someone of Snodgrass’ ability is a no brainer for me.

He was well off the pace first half of the season as he missed pres season. Once fit he was a crucial part of the set up.
He looks fitter and leaner as well and I think Pellegrino will not want anything that's not foreign and shiney.
Him and jack for a full season could be the difference this year


Bring him back

I really like Snoddy but I also have a problem with the lack of pace through the team last year and he was a big part of that so I'm torn on whether I'd like him back or not. My concern is that signing him dictates a lot of how we have to play.  If Grealish had gone I'd have taken him to play that role in a heartbeat, as is I'm not fussed either way, especially if the alternative sees us get in a pacy and tricky winger/forward (basically a clone of Green). A couple of players like that up front who are between the lines would be perfect for me.

Thought McGinn was supposed to be a similar player to Snodgrass?

I won’t be to bothered if he doesn’t come back
I think we need to push on from last year and put it all behind us

he played ok in my opinion which probably looked better than what they were on the whole because of some very decent balls into the box in occasions

I think he’s s good championship player and no more imo,
 I know that’s where we are at the moment but I reckon we can do better



Such as?

I'm hoping the bloke we just bought will be better for starters

Better than 7 goals and 14 assists? Let's hope, eh?

I would love him back here. The chance to rotate him, Green and Adomah would give us a freshness we lacked last year.

He just clicked with the club. I love him and his attitude, the soft free kicks he bought, the way he got under the skin of the opposition and of course his goals and delivery.

If he's not in the West Ham squad at all for Liverpool you've got to fancy there's a chance he may be coming. Bruce is certainly interested.

Yes, rotation is the key.
