He sure seems to score a few and get lots of assists for someone that isn't very good.

Snodgrass would in my view get in ahead of Elmo or Adomah. He could also play centrally or left if needed

Wouldn't be surprised if we do sell Adomah now

Does leave us having a ridiculous squad. Maybe the first choice side until grealish is fit would be:

Jedinak / Whelan (rotate)

Snodgrass Onomah hourihane Kodjia

Davis

Main rotation would be green, Elmo, Lansbury

And having looked him up, he's 29 so younger than I thought!

Yeah I thought he was over 30 now. Just been around a while and had some bad injuries.

I think he's a good pick up at this level, gets crosses in, chips in with goals and takes a good free kick. We should be strong on the left hand side with him and Hoolahan.

Where would he play?

A tough road back to the first team for Grealish when he is fit again.

Snodgrass
Whelan
Jedinak
Lansbury
Hourihane
Green
Adomah
Elmohamady
Grealish
Bjarnason
Kodjia
McCormack
Hogan
Davis

14 players in to 6 places.

McCormack isn't

McCormack isn't an option while SB is here, Davis was great but he's not going to start 40 games, will be in and out. Bjarnasson hasn't really amount to much and in any case seems to be used more and more as a full back. I can also see AEM being used a bit more as a right back as the season goes on.

Scrub those off and you have 10 for 6 positions which is about par with all the games and injuries/suspensions. You forgot Gabby btw....;)

Not happy with this one, we've just won by having pace and power in the attacking third and Snodgrass brings neither of those.

He's a good player but he's not remotely what we need, seems like we're signing him because we can not because he beings something we need.

Nail on head, another signing that just doesn't fit. We already have three options for right midfield, Elmo was unneccesary, Snodgrass is ridiculous.

If Adomah was sold then it wouldn't be a great loss at all tbh.

I agree. Hugely unimpressive player.

That's some excellent comic timing.
Typical...but every dog has it's day...even Thor has managed to score and he can't even control a ball!

Snoddy could play on the left back role perhaps

Let's not go back to square pegs in round holes.

Pick players in their best positions and watch them play to their potential. Play them out of position and wonder why they suddenly look shite.

Norwich rejected our bid for Wes a couple of years ago.

Amazed I actually spelt his name correctly considering I was going for Hourihane!

Can play 10 or both wings.  Adds good quality and scores a decent amount from midfield.  Green will be in and out at 19. Elmo may play full back some games.  This gives us another really good quality option.

Seems like Elmo take 2. Someone who Bruce has worked with before and rates even if we dont. He was right about Elmo (so far anyway), so sure, why not?

Snodgrass is a pretty tidy player.

Great name on the back of a shirt too  ;D
