At least Brad Guzan used to kick it into touch.

I can't see many current players of ours scoring a goal like the one he got against Sheff Utd.

Green scores a lot of goals like that to be fair.

Probably because Bruce used the 'tactic' with Elmo in a previous life.

I remember being driven to distraction by that very tactic (Johnston to Elmo) in our opener v Hull at Villa Park last season. I hate it when our keeper is our playmaker.

I read about it on a Hull forum. I thought they were taking the piss.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but I have a strong feeling he will be coming back. You have the respectful tweets and quotes Robert has said about his time at the club. Jacks reply to him on twitter earlier on but more importantly Yarmolenko plays in an identical position to him, left footed and does a similar job.

Bruce was asked right at the end about Snoddy and he said, "I don't think it's a fair I talk about other clubs players right now"....that always means we're close to a deal ;)

If he’s in the starting 11 for Wet Spam at the weekend unlikely, on the bench hmmm maybe, not named in the squad he’s packing his bags.

I won’t be to bothered if he doesn’t come back
I think we need to push on from last year and put it all behind us

he played ok in my opinion which probably looked better than what they were on the whole because of some very decent balls into the box in occasions

I think he’s s good championship player and no more imo,
 I know that’s where we are at the moment but I reckon we can do better

That's what I was thinking too, and whilst I applaud our new direction of investing in yoof, I'll take him back for another year on loan in a heartbeat, but feel we'll be able to rest him a lot more this time.

Bring him back. Pretty please.

All I want is Snoddy, a left-back, a centre-half and a striker. I'm not asking much.

If he brings him back he will start every game.
It’s time we started giving Green O’Hare some game time.
Keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.....
We need to move on.

Snoddy will of course be detrimental to Green’s chances of cementing a regular starting place.

Personally, I’d like to go with a bit more pace this season.

We were one game off promotion. I don't necessarily think turning down the opportunity to keep one of the best parts of that squad is going to get us promoted. Improve the worst elements, don't replace the best.

Snodgrass would, again, easily be one of the best players in the division. And I think he would help in our young players' development, rather than impede them.

If we can get him, we'd be mad not to try.

I reckon a bit of him might feel he has unfinished business, too. I think he has a genuine love for the club that many players who have been here five times as long haven't developed. He'll be desperate to help get us promoted.

Bring Back The Snodfather.

Albert's would be more under threat i'd have thought with his woeful form of late
