I'd be happy for Snodgrass to stay so long as the fee isn't stupid.  We've got a lot of work to do this summer if we're promoted and he'd be a solid choice on the right for a couple of years.  I'd want another winger as well though (younger, quicker and able to go round the outside) to give us options to change things up.  Because I'd be looking at signing at least 2 wingers I don't think we can afford to pay silly money for him.  I problem is I suspect West Ham are looking at the season he's had and thinking they can get their money back on him, especially given the fact that Moyes probably wouldn't mind keeping him.  I'm worried we'll get a fee of £10-12m to keep him and it should be more like £3-4m.

I'd probably go as high as £5-£6m.  It would cost much more than to replace him with somebody of similar quality, but also reflects the fact that at his age this will be his last major contract and there'll be no future sell on value to him.

I agree, that would still be a decent deal.

Yep, I agree with you both on this.

It’s hard to say what’s fair these days. I would look to get the deal done early, because what looks like a lot at the start of the window can look like a bargain by the end of it.

West Ham will want at least what they paid less theone year amortisation of his contract.

West Ham may take a haircut of some kind, in which case we should swoop in. I see them drifting down the PL into the 'maintenance zone'. i.e. the bit where you only spend enough to avoid relly, and then it gets you.

I've been impressed with Snoddy after an indifferent start but he's 30 and we shouldn't line the pron dwarfs' pockets with too much coin for him.

He's thirty, but his game isn't reliant on pace, so I see no reason why he can't be a good player for a few years to come.

He’s been excellent. Not as naturally skilful as Adomah perhaps, but his work rate and the quality of his balls into dangerous areas have been exceptional.

Beckham was like that I thought.

Another good performance from Snoddy today, he's turned out to be one hell of a consistent player at this level for us.

He’s also a massive pain the arse for the opposing players. He really does get kicked around by just being very intelligent with the ball.

Opposition fans hate him, which is usually a good sign.
