GinRummy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Just now, Mr Elwood P said: Surely going to play no.10 instead of on the wing? Better than Boyce? You’ve got to think that’s the position we’ve signed him for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holyrood_Hearts Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 A few people focusing on his age. It’s funny how you get players in better leagues playing older than this without it being seen as a negative. If Snodgrass is fit & still got it (as such) he should do well. Can’t say I mind him being particularly quick but his technical game got him where he was. Delighted if he signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briever Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Happy with Snodgrass, he's not going to start most weeks - he's going to be a really handy player to bring on in the second half. A bit of midfield creativity we've been shouting for, Don't give a feck if he's a free agent now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts00 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 26 minutes ago, AlphonseCapone said: He was an utter welt as well. See to be fair, I think Savage, I think he's maybe just found out first hand how challenging a spot we are in. How I see it is: to sign players good enough to get you 3rd in Scotland is a doable target, in terms of the quality of player needed versus the stature of the club, we're in a favourable place. To sign players to get you significantly further ahead in 3rd versus the rest and can put in performances in Europe, the quality of player needed means we're not in as favourable a place versus the other teams competing in that market for those players. I'd guess we're missing out on players at a substantially higher rate than before. Perhaps Savage just didn't realise how savage the market would be (excuse the pun). This!

No it's not, it's a squad game these days and we need cover with Boyce injured which Snodgrass will provide. Grant will play plenty of games this season but you could see how disjointed we have been the last few games in an attacking sense. Hopefully Kio and Snodgrass help fill that void. I think he will be excellent in the number 10 role and he's also got very good delivery with set pieces which is something we badly need.

Also brings international and Premier League experience.

Chaps Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I can see a lot of similarities between Snods and Rudi’s second spell. Rudi mainly had a free role up top I’d presume Snodgrass will have a similar role and move around the pitch more than Rudi which ain’t hard and both good vision, could see a pass, decent delivery have wands of left foots. Good signing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south morocco Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 16 minutes ago, hearts00 said: Not true. We know of 3 players that would have been good for us that we chased aggressivley but were knocked back. There would likely have been another 2 or 3 that knocked us back. At that point he moves to the next on the list and we gor Humphrys. We coukd have signed Snodgrass ages ago but clearly tried many other targets higher on the list first. Hearts are in a really difficult spot in that we are trying to sign players who are better than we have and that is not easy. Whose the 3 that’s knocked us back?

Mikey1874 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) We'll see how he does but Snodgrass is a very clever player. For example I rate Kinsgsley and McKay as clever players. Also with the signings of Grant and Forrest before last 2 games Hearts are moving the ball quicker. He fits into the way we are already playing and will probably improve it. His best days might be past, but he's got a very good reputation in the game. Edited September 6, 2022 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
