Snodgrass

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:27 am

Anyone else suspect we may be trying to really load pressure on Norwich? I think we may be, this Burnley board are no set of clowns, and will want the best deal!

Don't get me wrong would be very happy to see RS tearing the left wing apart against Leicester on Tuesday neet!

Could it be his agent to ensure the likes of West Ham know what's required?

Hull City by the looks of things have leaked it - trying to spark the others into action to get the fee up it appears.

I'm confident that Snodgrass WON'T be signing. He'll go to another Prem club.

It'll be part of the Brady-related shenanigans. Us and Hull probably doing each other amurial favour to put pressure on elsewhere.

Brady is still possible.

Think it's a case of having a couple of irons in the fire.
We don't want to get fawazed again do we.

I still think Brady is the favourite.

HANDBRAKE TIME....come on people what sort of wage is he going to command ! Won't happen....hope it does but have my doubts

If he was not interested in coming here would the bid have been accepted and made public

If West Ham sign Snoggrass then hopefully they won't be interested in Brady.

Id rather compete with the likes of Middlesbrough for Brady than West Ham

The Henri Lansbury saga over the last few transfer windows has led me to be rather cautious of "done deals".

Don't for a moment believe that this is a ploy simply to do the Brady deal.

Sorry for post 51 got pipped by others whilst typing it. Hope it does happen but the SSN info bar will change in next couple of hours to WHUFC have bid of 10.5 mill accepted!!
Norwich need to call us and accept the 10 mill for Brady!

PaintYorkClaretnBlue · Post by **PaintYorkClaretnBlue** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:34 am

I don't think that hull will be expecting a bidding war, it will be Snodgrass' agent who will be waiting by the phone. It wouldn't surprise me if West Am match our bid and he goes there.

Surely only to get their respective bids up to £10 million?

Nobody in their right mind would try to outbid an already accepted figure. Apart from Man City of course.

Why would West ham have to bid any more than Burnley to get to speak to Snodgrass?

He won't be going to Middlesbrough - I understand he doesn't like Spanish omelettes.

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:37 am

I suspect that this is all some sort of game to try and force the hand of Norwich on the Brady deal. As others have stated already, wages would be a major stubbling block on this one.

Personally I'd prefer Brady for the long term, however Snodgrass quality would be massive for us.

I'd love to have both but come on be realistic

You maybe giving Hulls owner too much credit here. I hear he's a bit of a barn pot so he maybe expect a bidding war

Can someone explain this bidding war concept when it seems they've already accepted our bid?

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:43 am

At the very least, this suggests that Hull have resigned themselves to the likelihood of relegation. So there would be a silver lining if he goes elsewhere.

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:44 am

Struggling to think how releasing this info would spark a bidding war. Surely any team wanting him would bid the same. Can't see West Ham with their owners bidding more than that. Why would they?

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:44 am

That's what is barmy.....bid accepted can't really spark a bidding war now can it. We won't pay Snodgrass' wages though in pretty sure in that

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:46 am

2 of the 3 bookmakers offering odds on this do not have Burnley as favourites to sign Snodgrass. West Ham favourites.

Long way from being a done deal

Don't you just hate the transfer window ? Torture !

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:46 am

A few sports reporters, including some from Burnley are very skeptical of this happening.

Strange how the 15 minutes of jubilation of this fee being accepted has ended and the negativity has started.

Not to say that this is a done deal, and it does seem like there's more to it than just him coming and signing, but it's straight from joy to disappointment. Maybe it's just part and parcel of being a Burnley fan.

Papabendi · Post by **Papabendi** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:46 am

One effect it may have is to get the Brady situation moving too...

Because buying players is like a blind auction in some ways, buying parties should not know what the other is bidding.
And usually the selling club will only publicly say he's worth about twice what they'd probably take for him.

So by making public a price they would accept it allows other teams to zero in on the price and decide If they want to increase it with a high chance of the offer being accepted.

Edit: Hull have shouted 'Going once..!'

Fair point. And there probably is still a way to go. But I suspect those that are commenting along those lines don't have a clue. Some of the comments on this thread alone aren't dissimilar

Has definitely been suggested but no one can come up with a rational explanation of how that could be so. Presumably Hull are satisfied with £10m and if other clubs meet that valuation presumably they will leave it to Snodgrass and crucially his agent to decide.

PaintYorkClaretnBlue · Post by **PaintYorkClaretnBlue** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:53 am

Skybet have us at 4/6 to sign him, boro are 7/2 and West Ham are 5/1.

Bookies aren't often wrong but 5/1 is a decent price if you think the hammers are nailed on!!

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:53 am

The only rational explanation is that Hulls Chairman is a bit nuts

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:54 am

Matched bids and outbidding on wages are possibilities. Or just that he wants too much in wages anyway.

Got to be a 4 year contract. We keep getting short deals which will bite us in the bum, if the player is at all successful.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:54 am

Burnley odds-on with 2 of 3 bookies (Sky Bet and VC Bet) but 2/1 still with William Hill who have West Ham at 11/10.

The Robbie Brady prices have not shifted for days.

VC Bet have now removed their quote on Burnley Sky Bet even money. Things are happening somewhere.

BennyD · Post by **BennyD** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:55 am

It's on the BBC Sport website. I hope they are correct. It also says Brady is off to Palace.
