Handed in written transfer request. I still think halfback is a problem we have never addressed properly. Brough obviously is top class and feel if he had another like him alongside we would move to that next level. Robbo goes ok but feel his best position is Hooker. We havent had 2 proper out and out halfbacks for longer than I care to remember. Think its deffo a signing we should be looking to try and make.

I imagine Marc Sneyd is already well and truly on the radar but that he's on everyone else's aswell. However, judging by the Crazy Dr's response he's going nowhere or at least not unless a whole lot of cash is stumped up. Would be very happy if we did sign him, mind.

Except his transfer request has been turned down and kooky has said Snyeds agent won't dictate twitter.com/drmarwanK/status/479314887366438912

Would be a great aide to Danny, saying that he looks to be a class player in his own right, would certainly take some pressure of Brough.

staying with salford

more likely we get ellis

Can see him going out on loan again next season the only question is where.

Hes only got 1 year left on his contract, so I would imagine a loan is a definate no go

Salford have also signed Dobson from next season - I can see one of Sneyd or Chase leaving.

well thats obviously Sneyd, to even think it could be chase is crazy

l think you have to be very carefull who you pair with Brough, he is Captain and see,s himself as top gun, l think that was the problem when Brown was Captain, Broughy wants to be No 1.
lmagine Sammut or Chase here, they can turn a game on its head, by doing something off the cuff that is absolutely brilliant, or absolutely disasterous, in equal measure, do something stupid, and Broughy will be spitting and snarling at them, do something great, and Broughy will be spitting and snarling at them.
Syned actually comes across as just a good alround player, young, with lots of potential, just the type to cope with a supporting roll to Brough, Wood is doing that at the moment, but with both Brough and Robbo getting on a bit, players like Syned should and no doubt are being tracked.
ln Anderson we trust.

koukash is happy to have all 4 at the club next season unless they get some money for one

sneyd
chase
dobson
fages

great option to have

Seems daft to me. Salford are refusing to let Sneyd go, but have bought in Dobson to play alongside chase ( not convinced they are a complimentary pair anyway) so Sneyd comes back, possibly using up cap space to get a monk on sat on the bench-or worse in the stands. He rarely plays, he's out of the shop window on a personal level, it causes friction within the squad. Next year he's a free agent he gets a lower salary than he can ask now-and Salford get diddly squat for him.

Sounds to me that it's all about nobody else having him? Maybe Koucash would rather keep him on Salford books so he can't improve another team and play against Salford?

competition for places and cover for injuries maybe

Read on their forum a while ago sneyd might go to hooker, but that was when nobby was there. Can see Salford killing a few careers of promising players, much like Chelsea and man city have done in football at times

I doubt that Sneyd will be at Salford next year, however I think the Good Doctor will be more interested in using him to broker a trade for someone coming in rather than a straight sale. The Doc isn't daft and will find a deal that suits Salford.

l think Koucash is heading for trouble, like having 4 head chefs in a resturant, l wonder how many head lads he has in his stable?, Dobson and Chase in the same team, l have to see that, Dobson is an organizer, he follows game plans, his team mates read him, like he reads the game, Chase is exactly the opposite, with these two on the field at the same time, all i can see is the team tearing itself apart, trying to follow the game plan.
There will be trouble ahead.

Coolcash has twittered himself into a corner by saying Sneyd is our boy and he's coming back. Now he's looking for a way to save face.

Big rumour going round that Salford are after Lunt and that Koukash is going to offer Sneyd + cash for him, dunno how true this will turn out to be !

Sneyd's agent has been touting him around other Clubs which is a bit naughty seeing as he signed an extension with Salford last year and still has another 18 months on his contract. Seems like the agent is looking for a lucrative percentage from a deal and is prepared to gamble with a player. MK and Martin Vickers (Our CEO) had a meeting with Sneyd a week or so ago about coming back and he said all parties came away happy. Then the agent tells him to put a transfer request in, which was turned down. Probably all designed to alert other Clubs who might want to bid on an 'Unhappy' player. Read into it what you will.

The Lunt rumour popped-up today but there was no mention of Sneyd involved in it. That doesn't mean it's not true though. It certainly makes sense to me from our Clubs perspective. It all depends on factors that we're never going to know.

Will be interesting to see if this rumours got legs...

Jamie Ellis deal is done so imagine we won't go for sneyd

brilliant news if true, new half back for danny brough then

What is people's views on Jamie Ellis ? Do you rate him ?

Not particularly, but we have turned ok players into very good ones before, He will improve us at half back though, we need a proper half back to help Broughy out.

Sneyd would be a good buy and it sounds like we might be a hooker short with Brough and Ellis HBs and Robbo and Wood at Hooker. No real cover so wouldn't rule out Sneyd.
