The Night-Owl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Rogers said: Sunderland are weighing up a move for West Ham's 29-year-old winger Robert Snodgrass - although the Hammers' £8m asking price could prove a major stumbling block - according to the Newasle Chronicle. At least the price is dropping Might not matter if he's still unwilling to drop back down into the Championship? And if he can engineer a move to another top flight club. Aren't Brighton interested?

Reach's two recent Championship seasons 80 matches 8 goals 7 assists 24 years old Snodgrass's last three Championship seasons 63 matches played 70 matches out injured 7 goals 11 assists 30 years old in September TBF Snodgrass had a good season with West Hame at the highest level, scoring 7 in 35 appearances, so no question that makes him a far better and more proven player right now. But given their ages, fitness records and Championship stats, I dont think Adam's price-tag compares too badly. How can you compare one players last two seasons, but not the others?!! Why are you comparing only Championship figures, and ignoring Snodgrass's Premiership stats? You can't cherry pick noncomparable numbers and compare them to make an argument.

But on the subject of the Blunts, I watched a couple of games last year and the teams we''re shocking defensively. The Championship has moved on vastly and I think they'll struggle. Sharpe isn't Championship standard now. Had he been, Leeds wouldn't have let him go and some other Championship club would have snapped him up. Chedwyn didn't pull many trees up the last time he was at this level, and that's over half a decade ago. Wilder's a good manager, but the quality isn't there. How they finish will depend upon what they do in January, as I think they'll be struggling by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it over Snodgrass's three seasons because he missed so many matches injured. But here you are, over the last two seasons. Snodgrass Matches 62 Goals 11 Assists 11 Age 30 Reach Matches 80 Goals 8 Assists 7 Age 24 But Snodgrass played 24 of his in the Prem, so is indisputably the better player.

They have a great team spirit, a good historic stadium and they've got a point to prove. They also have some reasonable quality players and a Championship level striker in Billy Sharp. And to be honest, as long as they finish below us I'd be pleased for them. It's good for the city, and for football and for our rivalry. I know I'll get negged for saying that but you've got to give credit where credit's due, even if it's to United. Team spirit - agreed. Good, historic stadium - not sure how that will be a positive. Surely 20,000 inside Bramall Lane with stupidly high expectations will be a negative if United aren't winning games? Reasonable quality players - Stearman is a solid signing for a team trying to establish themselves in the Championship. Fleck may have the quality to make the step up. Apparently O'Connell is decent (never seen him!), now I've run out of names... Billy Sharp - was a Championship quality striker, 6 years ago. Last time he played at this level, he got 5 in 33 I think. If he manages 15 goals, he'll have had a great season. Don't see any other United player getting double figures. I'd rather we never played United again, though I do enjoy it when we face each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
