Robert Snodgrass - loaned for 17-18 season

[OCD]

Just seen that he contributed 7 goals and 17 assists for us last season. He was only on loan for the second half of the season! It would be worth asking West Ham whether they see a future for him there because if not, that contribution over the course of a season would be huge.

He joined in August and played about 40 games for us.

He arrived ring rusty, but when he found his rhythm...

It won’t surprise me to see him back on loan. Very good player, tremendous influence on the club, loved by the fans. He’ll only be sub at best for West Ham.

Come to think of it, you’re right. I just don’t remember contributing much before the turn of the year.

I don't think he had a pre season and therefore wasn't match fit when he arrived.

He did ok for a couple of months but was utter gash late November and December, with a lot of people getting pretty pissed off with him but he sorted himself out after that was great again until about the End of April, sadly he was in another bad spell at the end of the season right when we needed him to lift us. He was probably the biggest disappointment of the lot in the final because if he'd have been anything like the player he'd been 2-3 months earlier we'd have created a lot more. I think, after the bolton game, we should've rested Adomah, Snoddy and Grabban a lot more. they were knackered the last few games. There was a decent break between the semi and final but I think it was just a step to far to really get 'up' for the final.  I don't blame Bruce for that but I do wonder if the average age of the squad and the number of games they'd played from Christmas played a part in how utterly flat we were.

when he was good he was very good for this level, but you're right he went flat just at the wrong time - as did Albert. I really like him but wouldn't think about bringing him back as it would be a waste of what money we have. For me, we ought to be playing Kodjia left, Albert right and someone else as centre forward ( with Davis as back up). Green could then come in for Albert as and when. Or vice versa. Snoddy denies that opprotunity.

The “someone else” is going to be a bit of an issue.

I loved Snoddy and it would be great to see him back at the club.  But I'm not his sure loan fee and his wages would be the best use of our resources, in particular the FFP tightrope.

If we can do the deal, we should.

[tomd2103]

Agree with this.  I thought we lacked real pace in the final third at times last season and if we are going to bring a wide player in then I would like to see someone who is genuinely quick come in.  Snodgrass had undoubted quality on the ball, but playing him on the right meant that he had to keep constantly cutting back on to his left foot and it often stopped us hitting teams on the break. 

I too would look to play Kodjia out wide and think the trio of him, Adomah and Green would offer decent options in those areas.  Only concern would be that two of those three are prone to picking up injuries and we may need further cover. 

[Damo70]

I thought Snodgrass did well for us and also looked committed. He wasn't happy at West Ham and if they were happy to let him go out on loan last season they will certainly be happy to let him leave one way or another now that they have strengthened their squad this summer. If we can do a deal that doesn't involve too big a loan fee and possibly them covering some of his wages I think he would be an asset again this coming season.

[kippaxvilla2]

He’s already been really praiseworthy of Pellegrini.  I doubt he will be leaving them this summer.

[eamonn]

Yep, new manager, new start. Snodgrass doesn't strike me as someone short of confidence, he'll be all out to get into Pellegrini's team.
