Can we call him Pongo?

I have a feeling before he's gone we'll be calling him a lot worse than that unless he recaptures his Leeds form. Had a look around today on Norwich and Hull forums; neither missed him. Saying that, the majority thought he was played out of position and the Hull lot were also glad to see the back of Elmo, so who knows. He was an all-action player for Leeds, a really exciting, hard working player, let's see if he can rediscover that passion whilst he's here. At least he knows he's got a manager that wants him.

If I'm reading transfermarkt properly he's averaged a goal or assist every other game for 100 games at this level

That'll do for me

Snodgrass will add quality and creativity to the squad, and you'd like to think that he's good enough to stand out against opposition regardless of what position he's played in. Personally I can see him as a driving force for the midfield and with his ability on the ball, I'd have him playing centrally behind forwards to use creativity and vision.

One of the right wingers is gonna have to "do a Youngy" and get used to playing on the left and cutting in on their right. If we are getting Snodgrass on-loan he probably starts most of the time, like Onouha.
He's not really what we need but Bruce going back to old clubs to get his faves is hardly a surprise. Brace yourselves for a Gardner-Cattermole deadline day swap.

As long as he plays alongside Kodija and Keiran Clarke

I was under the impression it was his delivery from wide that was his best attribute.  If that's the case, you can't play him centrally.  He'll either play on the left or replace Elmo wide right with Adomah/Green on the left I'd guess.

Seems a level headed type, too.

Quote
On 24 January 2011, an arrest warrant was issued for Snodgrass after he failed to turn up to court regarding an alleged driving offence.[72] A spokesman for Leeds United said that the non-appearance was due to a misunderstanding and that Snodgrass was working with the judicial authorities to resolve the matter.[72]

On 3 March 2017, another arrest warrant was issued for him after he failed to attend his trial for allegedly driving in Glasgow with a baby being held in the arms of a passenger. His defence lawyer said that Snodgrass' absence was due to a misunderstanding.

maybe the reason for the misunderstanding was the fact that he cant read the letter about the court date??

What a tool. Just the type of role model we need at our club? as I have read on here that as one of the founders of the original league, that all our players need to be saints.

I just read that he is yet to make up his mind as other clubs are now in for him (including premier league clubs).

If he's as good as some ppl make him out to be then he should be good enough to adapt to other roles or positions in the Championship; if he's not, then I'd fall into the category of thinking that him signing is a waste of time and money when we already have Adomah and Elmo that can play in that role (even if I think Adomah is a bit shit).

We should go for the guy from Norwich who terrorised Hutton last Saturday, and forced him to pretend he was injured, so he could be subbed LOL
