Burnley have had a bid of around £10million accepted for Hull's Robert Snodgrass.

West Ham have had lower bids rejected, and we also understand there is a second offer on the table from Middlesbrough.

According to SkySports.

Hope this is true. He would be a great signing for us.

Slurpy · Post by **Slurpy** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 10:55 am

Great News if true! Can't be the only one who would slightly prefer Brady but if the board think Norwich want too much than I'm not bothered.

Talksport also saying.

Tony cascarino saying" if he goes to burnley , you've got to ask, Hull, what are you doing!?"

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 10:59 am

Hull Mail reporting it.

But also saying that 'Boro and West Ham remain keen.

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:00 am

Are West Ham still interested?

If so they know exactly how much is needed to buy him and if they want him they can offer him considerably more money.

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:00 am

If Hull have a choice of us or Boro as buyers they would probably prefer he came to us rather than a relegation rival.

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:00 am

If Boro and the Hammers match the bid, I don't think he'll be coming here.

West Ham yes, but Boro are far more likely to relegated than we are.

If this is true and we can pull it off and Snodgrass comes to us
then it will be the best bit of transfer news clarets fans have had
and will be a huge fillip for the team too.

Let's hope he's A OK and arrives raring to go.

$10 m seems a snip when you look at what average championship players go for these days- come to Burnley Robert youll defo start every game and youll enjoy the club for what it is..............

They'll both be able to offer higher wages though.

If we can get this one done he should be a terrific signing. We really do seem to mean business.

This is massive if it comes off. A quality player with options may well have chosen us. Bring on the set pieces .

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:08 am

You'd assume that we've already chatted with his representatives and worked out the wages.

Hopefully West Ham don't fancy matching it or he'll probably end up there.

Good work though Burnley.

Giftonsnoidea · Post by **Giftonsnoidea** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:13 am

Definitely the quality we need but the age is a concern.

Have we shelved the Brady bid now?

Yeah I bet that never ever happens in this multi million pound head hunting game!

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:13 am

It might well be Push, but we know what he wants and he'll know what we are offering.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:14 am

Can we have him and Brady!?

ashtonlongsider · Post by **ashtonlongsider** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:15 am

Fingers crossed. This guys a lot better option than Brady. However I remain sceptical until he's holding the Claret shirt in front of the James Hargreaves Stand.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:15 am

I would've preferred Brady personally, and £10m for someone approaching 30. Football has gone mad.

RingoMcCartney · Post by **RingoMcCartney** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:15 am

Fair play to the board for showing ambition and a real financial commitment to staying in the Premier League.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:17 am

Whats to say we're not still in for Brady too?

ITV showing it as a done deal.

Unfortunately 10 million is bugger all these days for a Premier league player

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:22 am

While Brady probably the better option long term in the short and medium term getting in a player of Snodgrass's quality and at the same time weakening a rival is amazing business.

Please get it over the line Burnley!

Brilliant news if true. As it is Burns Night, presumably Sean has been working on his Chieftain of the Pudding Race to get tnis one over the line.

Slurpy · Post by **Slurpy** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:24 am

Possible that both parties are using each other as leverage? Burnley trying to force the hand of Norwich and Snodgrass trying to get one last pay day from West Ham?

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:24 am

Suggestions are that we are a long, long way from getting him. We've had an offer accepted but nothing more as yet.

Yes you are right to correct me, I was just reflecting what ITV were saying. There is many a slip, but at least we are top of the queue. Its a done deal when there is something on the Club Website - which at present there isn't.

Finally Garlicks beginning to learn from previous windows.

I still think West Ham are ahead of us in the pecking order.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:26 am

"West Ham are expected to make an improved offer." - Daily Mail

Selling price is out there now, I expect Hull will be waiting by the phone rather than rushing to get pen to paper.

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:26 am

I wonder who leaked this news?

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