Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Yes which would actually exacerbate our pace problem. But I suppose we need options and the ability to change games.

[SoccerHQ]

Which would be good, but doesn’t solve our pace problem.

And it would push Green a bit further down the pecking order.

Maybe plan is to play Adomah and Snograss out wide as per and Green as number 10 (in event Jack leaves).

Or even given Kodjia has already picked up a knock to play Green as number 9.

Not sure how well that would work given the lump it up football though.

Still Snodgrass stats for last season were excellent and he didn't really get going until the second half of the season. Very good player at this level.

[Clampy]

I wouldn't be totally against it though because he's a very decent player at this level who can win you games.

It's a 46 game season so having Green, Snoddy and Albert would be very strong.

Until the latter two run out of steam again.

Great if Snoddy is coming in .

Though him and Elmo in that right side could prove frustratingly similar .

 I think we   do need him and his qualities as well it being a 46 league game season PLUS injuires , suspensions factored in a loan for him is well worth it .

Pace or not the man gets assists and goal chances . Plus he's no problem and clearly commited to uncle bruce.

It's a bring him back at (sensible) costs to me !

If Green maintains fitness, then here unlikely to play the same number of minutes. It's the reason you'd want three, not two, wide options.

[Brassneck]

Not sure where Snodgrass would fit into a 352?

Why spend all summer experimenting with a system and then bring in a player that is wholly unsuitable to that system?

As others have suggested, I'd prefer to go with a bit of pace this season.  Snoddy is a great pro and was fantastic for us last season but I'm hoping we'll be placing more emphasis on pace this time around.

[SoccerHQ]

We ain't going to play 3-5-2 at Hull.

We haven't got three CBs for a start....

Taylor is barely good enough as a left back.

Who do we play upfront if Kodjia is injured? Hogan and Davis haven't been seen for weeks.

It will be the usual 4-2-3-1.

[Duncan Shaw]

If we can afford it and it doesn't effect FFP it's hard to complain about Snoddy coming back after all her did for us last season.....yes he tailed off but he should have been rested more - maybe Bruce willl learn from that.

[mr underhill]

had Green been injury free he would have been rested

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Snodgrass loves villa and as clearly shown at Walsall we love him. His stats at villa are top notch. If we played De Laet at RB. We then have the pace to be a better attacking threat down the right side. Plus it would only be a loan. Win win ….

Absolutely. Having to pick the same players week in, week out was part of the reason why we fell away.

I'd be delighted with Snodgrass back.

[mr underhill]

I want to see more of Ritchie this season. Never really given a chance after the injury he picked up so soon after joining. He's generally looked good pre-season.

[OCD]

If we played 3-5-2, I think Snodgrass could play either off the main striker or centre right midfield. I think we can find a role for him even if we were playing a different formation.
