Seen Snodgrass a few times now and always been impressed with his attacking side of the game. A part of me wants him to go to the EPL as soon as he gets the chance as it will be better for us. However I also fear it may hinder his club/international career. If he moves to say Everton whom he has been linked with, would it work out for him. Of all the clubs he has been linked with, Everton are the biggest and best to have been linked to, but he would have to do a lot of defensive work with Everton. Thus harming his attacking flair and feel Everton (or wherever he ends up) fans would get on his back. Would he maybe be better staying the in the Championship with Leeds.


Or is this all nonsense as I am sure Levein will pick Driver when fit over Snodgrass anyway

Robert Snodgrass and Ross McCormack are two players I have no idea why Levein over looks them*. Sometime I wonder if we have someone who's never watched a game of football in his life managing our national team.

* I could think of many more players as well but that would side track the thread.

Snodgrass has been in every recent squad, personally I don't think he is as good as Naismith or Morrison and then Bannan played well when selected. So he hasn't really been over looked.

[woof!]

I like Snoddgrass, but he doesn't have the pace to play on the wing. He'd be best in an advance playmaker role but the competition is quite fierce. He needs to play in the premiership to be judged properly or somewhere like Spain where he'd probably be a star.

[nessies long lost ghost]

It's a pity for him that we have really good players in the positions he plays. Currently I'd probably go with Morrison, Bannan and Naismith ahead of him but he has a chance to break in with Naismith out injured for a long while.

[paddymcp]

Snodgrass hasn't really impressed me in any of the occasions i've seen him in the last year or so.

No way is he worth some of the fee's being muted for him.

He makes up for the lack of pace with a decent amount of skill.

His set pieces are also very good.

I think he'd be better off waiting to see if he gets in the Prem with Leeds first, if not they can sell him in the summer.

[Savage Henry]

I think both he and McCormack are pretty ordinary players, even by the standards of the national team. I'm kind of struggling to see why Snodgrass would be a star in Spain but not the EPL, incidentally.

Why? He would be an average player in Spain playing for one of the average teams at the lower end of the table a la Nacho Novo.

[wingnut]

The Leeds crowd seem to hold him in high esteem and he's been their player of the year a couple of times,let's face it he's playing in a better league than our premier and is playing well at the moment and is on the radar of Premier teams in England,not quick but good player and can score goals and has plenty assists at Leeds,if given a good chance could do well for Scotland,if he was at any of the Old Firm he'd get more caps for Scotland that's for sure.

[woof!]

The pace of the Spanish game and the emphasis on skill over brawn are two reasons why he'd be a success in Spain. That's not to say he'd flop in the premiership but he might get stuck out on the wing. Novo couldn't lace his boots.

He has been getting goals this season but apparently his overall play is much worse than in the past few seasons, he does lack that bit of pace though and if he had that he would probably have been in the EPL a while ago.

Key word there,

Stick with hearsay.

He has impressed me when I have watched Leeds games this season.

End of the day, Snodgrass is much better then Stuart Downing. So if Liverpool spent 20 million on him then Snodgrass is a 30 million pound player (of course, not even in today's mad English transfer market is Snodgrass a 30 million player, but Downing for me is not even a 5 million pound player).

Snodgrass should be first choice for Scotland.

No he isn't

[Paco]

If he wasn't chronically slow he'd be a great player. But he is, so he's barely international standard. A squad player at best.

I am not for one second saying Snodgrass is worth that much, but he is a better player then Downing, so on that basis of left wingers, Snodgrass should be valued at more then downing. I still believe he is our best left wing option. If he was at Liverpool think he would do a better job then Downing. Point of thread was, if he joins a less glam English premier league side, he'd probably have more of a defensive role and would maybe hinder his progress

That'll be why Downing has played in the Premiership for many years and won himself a big money move to Liverpool, whilst Snodgrass has played in League One and now the Championship?

I've never been impressed with in a Scotland shirt. Plenty players I'd let start ahead of him.

[lau03143]

Snodgrass doesn't do enough defensively. He's a passenger on that front, so will never be a top international player for Scotland.

[TartanArmani]

Just to put back to the top of the page. But with the transfer window being on am wondering if maybe Snodgrass will get sold? Leeds on verge of selling Dougie Howson to Norwich, could this mean no move for Snods? Surely must be some takers for him. With Leeds selling, looks like they won't be going up, so really he needs to be looking to move on.

He is pretty slow, so not exactly what they look for in the Premiership.

[McKee]

Dougie Howson.

I've never been especially impressed with Snodgrass, though he undeniably had a couple of great seasons with Leeds. He's not an awful player but he'd be nowhere near first choice for Scotland IMO and I don't think he's good enough for the EPL. And as for the suggestion he's a better player than Stewart Downing, just
