Summer transfer madness thread

[AVH87]

Are we the only team in the division who insists a player has to have a bus pass before joining? FFS, it's all getting a  bit  Dad's Army.

I blame the fans, pushing a players peak age up, numerous times on here recently I've seen Baker referred to as a 'prospect' - he's 26.

I'm sure it was similar with Clark when he went to Newcastle aged 26.

Snodgrass down the left would be a pretty good upgrade. Always looked pretty effective and we def need some options down that side as I don't think Green is ready to provide any consistency.

I thought he played on the right? But yes a big upgrade on what we have on the left if he can play there.

It sounds like the deal would be similar to that of the outgoing Amavi - loan and then permanent for similar fee.

Might be wrong, but I'm sure he's left footed.

Think he is right footed but plays predominantly on the left a la Ashley Young.  Can play the 'number 10' position as well I think.

Rhodes and Snodgrass aren't exactly Balotelli and Wesley Sneijder but are great moves at this time in championship. These 2 Patrick Roberts  and maybe a centre back who can also play left back then we re very good to go

Omg he's 100% left footed that's what he's about and his best place is on right side but definitely left footed

See Daily Fail are reporting we want Snodgrass on loan and hold an interest in Jordan Rhodes :-)

Snodgrass is a decent player who has done it consistently at this level but can't quite see why we keep looking at wide players when we don't have strikers who convert crosses.  Thought he was older than 29 also.

Rhodes is not a player I've ever rated, needs everything put on plate - like McCormack he's a Scot who can't get a name in a frankly awful national side.

Ain't that the truth. If we go anywhere near Jordan Rhodes it will show we've learnt nothing from the whole McCormack saga.

They Leigh Griffiths then ! I thought at wolves villa should have moved for him . Boy does he take a free kick !

[footyskillz]

Really hope the Snodgrass talk confess to something.  Head and shoulders better than most our squad.

I agree with first bit but there are a few on par with him skills wise . Takes a great set piece though !

He is left footed but likes to play on the right.  He has put his poor West Ham form down to being forced to play on the left so I can't see him joining us to do the same.
Excellent player, but not for us now we have Elmo surely?

It's the new strategy, buy players that may die during their contract.

Although somewhat appropriate for the town itself.
