Snodgrass has had a bad injury and may not be the player he was in his Norwich days. This is a really poor signing all things considered.

Why was he so good for Hull in the first half of last season then?

I think he's just what we need both on and off the pitch.
He has one hell of a sense of humour by the way.
I know that doesn't make him a good footballer, but that aside he's a better option than Lansbury for example

He is having a medical according to Sky sources.

There goes the only reason for keeping Micah Richards.

It really depends which Robert Snodgrass turns up. I've yet to find anything on Norwich, Hull or West Ham forums that have a really good word to say about him other than he can take a corner and deliver a free kick. At West Ham he was thrown under the bus when billed as Payets replacement. Hopefully he'll arrive with a point to prove.

Charlie N'Zogbia had a hell of a sense of humour.  Coming into training looking like a promo for the Chelsea Flower Show.  Made us all laugh but he was still fucking useless.

He was causing problems for defences way better than what he'll find in this league as recently as last season, so -based purely on his ability- this is a good move.

But aside from the concern that we are already well stocked for his best position, I'd wonder why Wham are prepared to jettison him on a loan deal so soon after signing him. I get that Arnautovic, Ayew, or whoever are probably ahead of him in the pecking order. But with injury and suspension, he could still have a role to play with them.  Or if not, they'd at least look to get a fair chunk of change back on him from another mid>lower Prem club.

Beware doing deals with Gollivan. They will know if they're selling/loaning us a pup.

I've got a mate who's a Norwich fan and he really rates him. I'd hope he adds another dimension to us.

...  he can take a corner and deliver a free kick.
Don't underestimate the improvement that will bring to a team that has been woeful at set pieces throughout this decade.

... although I'm not a fan of his arrival at the expene of LB cover.

That's a inventive and clever way of doing it. Welcome Robert. First job, North Stand needs a wash
