Robert Snodgrass - loaned for 17-18 season

[Richard E]

It's also an anagram of 'assdongs'.

Only if he has a silent "r"

The more I think on this the more disappointed I am with it.

By all accounts this is the end of our business so we're going into the season with Davis as our only target man after seeing how much better we were with a target man playing, with Taylor as our only left back and with Elphick being reintegrated because we're short at centre back.  On top of that we only have a 19 year old or people playing out of position (bjarnason, snodgrass, adomah and kodjia have been suggested/tried at various points) for the left wing.

Not content with us having 3 right backs and 1 left back Bruce has now replicated the problem on the wings.  On top of that we're still missing an option or 2 to add real pace to the side, Green, RHM and Davis all have a bit (but none of them are express) but the rest of the attacking players are all mid-paced or slower.

I think we have too many options if anything

I.know the name has legendary status with us Villa fans.
But I can't think about the name Snodgrass without putting the word "Pongo" in front of it.
Must be an age thing.

[cdbearsfan]

Had to Google it. I'm not sure "Pongo" will catch on as a nickname, to he honest!

I agree that it's an odd use of the budget - a shame the opportunity to sign him seems to have come after we signed Elmo.  BUT, he is a very, very good player and I think he will be a huge asset to the squad if played in his correct position on the right.

Is Clark expected to cover for LB, I wonder.
I'm not overly keen on bringing in Snodders but actually I am more concerned with getting rid of some of the wasters before the ned of the month.
Last night may - just may - have pointed us in the direction we should be taking, although it is hardly a good one-off from which to draw many conclusions.

And to think we sold the Scottish Inesta

Wednesday supporting mate of mine was at Fulham on Saturday and said he ran the game - was allowed to play further forward.

Yep, he does well for them. But then he has found his level in this league. He wasn't good enough for us then, and hopefully won't be soon but right now he'd probably do okay for us too, such is the level we've sunk to.
