Bill 1,788 Posted July 27, 2013 You should try it Tilyou would be surprised how far you can get with storiesbearing in mind places like Sky, the Sun, Talksh ite and others of their ilk are staffed by teenage intern(s) scanning the net for stories ...... and that is about all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 28, 2013 doesn''t need to be a slow newsdayit''s pretty much routine practice, based on the fact that they know that numpties who read these stories have the IQ and memory of a goldfish and will not wonder why the last 100 stories have not turned out to have either happened or have any follow up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted July 28, 2013 Tempted by wages so could happen but would be surprised if wewere willing to let him go easily or cheaply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted July 28, 2013 Doubt they could afford it... Long contract, no need to sell, McNally to deal with .Haaaaaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted July 28, 2013 Our best attacking player last season by a country mile, the club would never sell. Is this another Nursey rumour? The club has played him like a fiddle all summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorny 0 Posted July 28, 2013 Flaw in the Mirror report - Snodgrass can only play on the right wing or up front. We tried him on the left a few times last season but he struggled.£5m not to bad but we need him. We won''t let him go easily.I''d question West Hams fair play financial fiasco after Fat Sam spat his dummy when originally couldn''t sign Carroll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don''t expect the club would even listen to anything less than £13M. Would take some real lazy scouting for the Hammers to think it''s a better deal than similar players from abroad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorny 0 Posted July 28, 2013 Trying to do the maths here. Fer we got at a decent price, how much for? Rumours £5m give or take. Going rate probably right but as West Ham (without a hamstring injury or similar) whack another £2m on as I think both around the same level but Fer may drive more. £13m is going crazy and is in the top six price range for buying players (minus Arsenal who no one can work out at the moment).From watching Snodgrass last season, he still has the flaws. Left sided play and can over/under hit passes. When they come off...perfection. He''s getting there but not worth double figures yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walking Man 13 Posted July 28, 2013 Double it and I think we''d begin to consider it. The reason why I say £10m is because we have no need to sell and Snodgrass is tied to a long term contract. We hold all the cards and therefore can extort as much money out of the situation as we so wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,097 Posted July 28, 2013 How much did Matt Jarvis go to west Ham for? 10 mil?If Jarvis is worth that snodgrass is worth at least 12 If we were to sell we have other options but don''t think he''ll sell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thas a rummun 2 Posted July 28, 2013 £5m? [:^)]If they were willing to pay over £10m for Matt Jarvis not too long ago, then they''d have to at least match that.And even then I''d take their bid and wipe my bum with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted July 28, 2013 IMO enquiries go on between clubs go on all the time via agents etc. However most of the time nothing comes of the them. On this occasion the story does smell of a large dose of speculation, with a reporters value of £5m. Even without NCFC bias Snoddy is worth far more than £5m. That lump Charlie Adam was what? £7m when he moved to Liverpool at the time. A decent young Champ midfielder who''d never played PL football could cost £5m and it wouldn''t raise an eyebrow.All in all a story hacked together on some rumour.

King Klose 0 Posted July 28, 2013 West Ham can ''move'' for Snodgrass as much as they want, but unless they show £20 million+ there is no reason we would listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hackedoff 0 Posted July 28, 2013 It really shows how far our club has come. Much like Leeds, i would normally be very worried had West Ham come in for our players. Now, a few yrs on it isn''t even an issue. There are realistically only 6-7 teams in this league that could tempt our players. The rest are no better than us.

CodeNameCanary 0 Posted July 28, 2013 I honestly don''t think the money would do it. Snodgrass is now entering his 2nd season at a club that he''ll feel did ok last term and with all the new players coming in it must be quite an exciting time to be at Norwich. Plus the fact that he has quite a few mates at the club.No goer, what ever price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flying high up in the sky! 1 Posted July 28, 2013 Banana, do you like any of our players? This would never happen. Snoddy is part of what we are building here and will still be one of the first names on the team sheet this season regardless of who we bring in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted July 28, 2013 The cynic in me says that this is Snodgrass and his agent angling for an improved contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sussexyellow 55 Posted July 28, 2013 I recall Allardyce saying in January that he had made enquiries about a ridiculous number of players without success. 40 sticks in my mind but could have been 80. So known to use scattergun tactics to see if he gets any bites.So I suspect nothing more than that, although the improved contract speculation could be a possibility.
