Should have gone for Watkins.
Another yep.
However there are lot of players out there who have terrorised our Al. We can't sign all of them😟

The one that left Exeter in the summer.

A really good player and will improve the squad.  Wish we could return Elmo and get our money back though.

Elmo has been pretty decent so far, I reckon. A bit early to be writing him off.

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.

Think the Hull fans don't look favourably on him as he spent most of his time injured and then left at the first opportunity, he was a good player for them.

At Championship level he's very good.  A nice throw back, box-to-box player.  We need more goals from other areas of the field.  29 is a good age too.  If we did sign him full time we could get a good 2 or 3 years of him at his best.

I'm not writing him off.  I just don't think we need both and Snodgrass is by far the better player in my view.

Always happy for us to sign a good player, and he will be our best right winger.

It does seem a shame that three of our best players Adomah, Elmo and Snodgrass would all play in the same position whilst we have no cover at all at left wing and left back.

Definitely a good player though.

Don't forget Green, right mid is definitely his best position. Only being shunted to the left at the moment due to oversupply on the right and Grealish's injury. Bjarnason is surely a wide option too. Switching to 433, then Kodjia and Gabby become wide options. We already have a surplus of number ten options including the man who scored us a hattrick last weekend.

Snodgrass should be more than a capable performer at this level but not for us. Our backup options at centre back and left back are woefully thin yet another attacking midfielder is prioritised. Exposes Wynness yet again as a spoofer authorising this.

Bjarnasson - an option for what? He looks like a bit player.

Elmo so far has shown really  well for us far and is much the better to option to adomah. I know football is a subject of opinions but anyone calling Elmo needs to take special lessons in something

so  those that don't rate him should just conform to the Elmo virtue signalling and say  nothing?
