ricardo 7,401 Posted July 17, 2012 If I was a Leeds fan reading Warnock''s statement I would be very worried indeed. What has happened to all the talk of "building a team round him and not for sale at any price". It sounds to me that they are resigned to losing him and are preparing the ground for the inevitable fallout from the fans. They won''t be happy but when you''ve punched below your weight for years it''s always on the cards that you will lose your best players. Sorry all you Leeds fans but NCFC have been there and done that and we know ihow it feels.I think it''s odds on that he will be here before the week is out.

Bill 1,788 Posted July 17, 2012 " Unless they come up with a valuation that the club thinks is satisfactory then that’s what we want to do.” So it''s now a case of the amount of money not whether he will leave or not I would suggest that there may be ''sale clause'' whereby if so much is offered then the player can leave. If so City will be aware of that. If notI would imagine McNally is getting the best deal possible, as with Butterfield, where we offer what we feel we can get away with. We shall see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 17, 2012 If there is a release/sale clause they can tout all they like but unless another club comes in that''s all they get. I wouldn''t imagine their ''touting'' will achieve much with McNally either ps my only worry is whether Birmingham will let us have any of our ''biggest transfer budget'' back so we can afford him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted July 17, 2012 I couldn''t care less whether we sign Snodgrass or not. I question whether he is suited to the EPL. I''d much rather we pushed the boat out for Naughton and another centre half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Nothing is certain in footy. But he has been linked with us now for a while. With Howson and Johnson here, and also the fact that Leeds have lost Lonergan as well may well mean Snodgrass wants to move on too.He will be 25 by the time the season really gets going, I doubt he wants to wait until he is 26 before tasting premiership football for the first time. I would be surprised if he stays at Leeds. The new contract they offered him was offered when Warnock was first appointed I believe, if it was too good to refuse he would have signed it.Leeds will sell, but from Warnock''s language it is more of a case of give us more.

cityislife 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Personally i feel we don''t actually need him, we have the likes of Pilks, Bennet, Hoolahan, Howson chipping in, not sure this should be our top priority. I think we should look at the lack of pace in defence.....Is this just a personal battle of Mr McNally''s ''getting one over Mr Lambert''.....I think it could be you know...

Mister Chops 7 Posted July 17, 2012 As someone else has said, I''d love it if this was simply to push up Villa''s offer - although I imagine Villa can easily beat us on wages, and the power does lie with players these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,454 Posted July 17, 2012 Latest rumour ont'' net is we only bid £1.5m for Snoddy - that should please the doom merchants on here. It is right not to be ripped off but if this is true then this does seem a tad low. Obviously McNasty remembering Bates reaction to the Howson fee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SplatCat 18 Posted July 17, 2012 Well I personally am a big believer in thinking that if we have quality midfielders and strikers that will help our defence out loads. Defend as a team attack as a team. It sure puts a load of pressure on the team defensively if we can''t score or keep the ball. Makes much more sense to think of the team ''with the ball'' and ''without the ball'' than attacking and defensively imo. Snodgrass will be one of our best players if he comes, he''s one the best in the champ, he''s exactly the sort we should be going for as at Prem level ball retention is absolutely vital and we weren''t incredible at that last year. Plus only if we get him will we have 4 wingers - Pilks, Benno, Snoddy and Butterfield. And from what I''ve heard Butterfield likes to play more centrally so that may be pushing it.

smooth 114 Posted July 17, 2012 I believe the spine ofthe team needs help, centre half, central midfield and striker. But I also agree full back may be needed as is a wide player.Snodgrass at this point in his career and with one year left, now is the time to capture him. So I hope we can bring him in to our squad, he will fit in quickly and have the quality for this league. We can then go about the business of other positions, I do think we will do a bit of business this window as a few of our players may move on.It would be a great week if we could pick up Snodgrass, so looking forward to the developments. Sure others clubs may come a sniffing now. So hope we have done our homework and got in with a great bid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFCgardener 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Got to laugh at Warnock, claiming to be making the statement because the bid had been made public. Not, it hadn''t, it was a rumour at that time, Warnock was the one making it public. Of course Warnock wants to sell Sondgrass, he has been stalling over a new contract for some time now and they dont want to lose him for nothing in the summer or pittance in Jan. Warnock making the bd public because he knows Snoddy wants out and wants a biddig war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted July 18, 2012 He''s worth a go at, but not at any price. I''m sure we won''t get caught up in a bidding war for him. If anyone wants to pay 8 million for him, they''re welcome to do so. But I''m sure we''re not! Fù^* Warnock, frankly I hope he falls flat on his face with Snoddy demanding a transfer.

Jacko 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Ricardo I reckon they will look at Howson as precedent and demand £2 million. So on that basis I think a fair price for Snodgrass with a year to run on his deal is around the £3-4 million mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
