Cheers Jinxed.

Will Richard Snodgrass be announced today?

Telemarketing companies, now calling from, what appear to be mobile phone numbers..

Gets me every damn time.

Isn't he a left back?


They really don't like signing right backs do they..

They would if the currency was Japanese Yen.

^^^ I doubt that, my gut feeling is that personal terms with Payet were agreed a long (long) time ago They must have been, especially for him to want to stop playing for us. I doubt he'd risk it all, from just hearing that Marseille were interested. At the very least they dangled a very appealing c...

Haven't played FM since 2014/15, Missus is away for a week so I'm thinking of picking up FM17, locking the door and shutting the curtains..

Has it changed much in 2-3 years?

What's new, etc?

Thanks in advance

It might be worse as he wouldn't be the focal point of all their attacks! Look at Carroll or Benteke when they joined Liverpool. Went from free scoring at poor Newcastle and Villa teams to struggling in a good Liverpool side. Possibly, but Defoe has scored goals everywhere he has been, he is a natu...

One thing I will say for those pulling apart his scoring record at Sunderland.

It's Sunderland.... he has that type of goal scoring record at Sunderland.. a team who continue to struggle every year.

What would his record be like in a half decent team that actually creates chances?

I think you could be right.

Just saying

I just don't think they understand..

Imagine being a West Ham fan and thinking signing Daniel Sturridge would be a disaster :lol: He'd be the best striker we've had in a decade! the disaster part probably refers to his injury record. Someone posted yesterday that Carroll , Sakho, Sturridge and Ings are the four most injured players in...

Darren Fletcher has been excellent for West Brom.

At the time, he would have been a brilliant signing, absolutely no denying it.


If we can get half as much out of Snodgrass that West Brom have out of Fletcher, then it will prove to have been a good piece of business.

The board told us about the next level The board boasted about catching the big boys The board talked about 20m strikers The board talked about players fitting to play in a world class iconic cat 4 stadium Based on how things have turned out, will be interesting to see season ticket sales next seas...

Imagine after everything, if he chooses Burnley.

We appear to have moved a level down from last season to this one. If you look at the league, and the teams that occupy the top 7, I'd say we are where we should be, give or take a couple of positions. We were never going to break into that top 6 realistically, teams that were underperforming last ...

Good post Bobo. Hard to disagree with any of that. Snodgrass whilst not being a popular choice is almost certainly an upgrade on Tore, the potential signing does seem like a stop gap however. Like any potential signing, lets give him a chance and just get behind him, he will be donning the claret an...

Completely agree.

A completely unique asset to have, when he is fully fit.

Step 1: Carroll gets injured Step 2: Carroll gets fit again Step 3: Carroll gets a new injury just before returning to action which keeps him out for a while longer Step 4: Carroll gets fit again Step 5: Carroll returns Step 6: Carroll hits a bit of form, prompting some fans and inevitably the boar...

Still more reliable than Sky Sports News.

I agree. If we don't get Snodgrass I won't care a jot, but I understand how they feel. It is frustrating that this is a window where we should be repairing the damage done in the summer, and have instead looked almost equally inept. I think we can finally put to bed all claims of us moving up a lev...
