Perhaps I do them a disservice and they've all separately contacted Snodgrass/his agent and Motherwell to confirm but I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If the next signing isn't Snodgrass, they're going to be met with Rey Mysterio at Royal Rumble 2014 vibes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The STV Sports article headline is we're 'reportedly' in talks and cites The Sun as the source. It's pretty speculative. Also, f**k The Sun. Quote Motherwell are reportedly in talks to sign former Scotland international Robert Snodgrass. The Sun say that he is expected to make his decision on a return to the Scottish Premiership in the next 24 hours.

Realised he'd tipped it past the keeper, then simultaneously realised he could absolutely cement the goalkeeper a belter and get away with it. Which is what he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanos Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Saw Snoddy in Tim Hortons earlier, or at least a geezer with a huge napper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm not one to rake the coals of the previous game on a thursday but just read this new quote from Goodwin about Saturday's game and it's pretty fucking absurd Quote “We are still a very new group, there are still a number of players from other countries and this is their first experience of the Scottish Premiership. “Maybe Saturday was a bit of an eye-opener to them in terms of what to expect when teams come to Pittodrie. “The majority of teams are going to come to Pittodrie and set up the way Motherwell did with 10 men behind the ball and trying to hit us on the counter-attack. “I thought Motherwell executed that game plan brilliantly, so full credit to Stevie Hammell and his players for that, but it’s up to us to find a way to break the opposition down. He's either delusional or he's doubling down after being caught out by a pretty big change in approach from us - but the idea that we were sitting in waiting to be "broken down" is reality-denying stuff that 14k Dons would be laughing at reading it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Dons possession was centre backs trying to pass it between each other. Where else does he expect the opposition to be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Probably the most itk post I'll ever put on here but Mrs P was having a right good blether with McKinstry's maw today. seemingly homesickness was a major factor in him coming back up the road and doesn't sound like they are anticipating him heading back down south after his loan ends . 10 year permanent deal at the end of the season incoming. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Scott Burns reporting on it. Saying we've chucked Hammell extra cash to try and get it done. Also, 3 or 4 more. Quote The Motherwell boss is also looking to bring in another striker before the close of the window and a full-back is also on his wish list. Another wide option could also come into play if Snodgrass decides that his future remains away from Fir Park. Motherwell could also move some of their own fringe players on before the close of the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Love articles like that which essentially state the absolutely obvious. Still not convinced about Snodgrass, certainly not pushing the boat out for him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 In these woke times, fringe has replaced pish in the vernacular. But let's not overlook 3 games ago most of us would have driven Goss to the airport. As for Snodgrass, yes he's 34, has transferred in his career for over £20m, was out of favour at West Brom and helped push Luton on from late Feb when he joined them. Guessing he didn't enjoy the first half of the season last year then his 4 weeks out without a club. If it was him wanting to come back home and a "come and get me" by his agent then who's in the mix. Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts have the money. Hibs have been throwing it about mostly on players yet to perform, I doubt the other two would be interested. Dundee United have weighted their team heavily in the +30 category already, wouldn't rule them out though. So out of the rest it is St Mirren, Killie, St Johnstone, Ross County and Livi have the past association. We have money to spend but how many of the other clubs have done their business already and have anything left in the bank? Bear in mind we've just given our Dutch centre forward who's 32 another year and beyond the 60 minute mark he looks gubbed in every game. The decision within 24hrs thing would suggest an announcement today. Think it was nothing more than creating urgency or he's itching to get involved this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
