Dolman Block B Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well, on his day was superb, young and knows the club well. Would he be the answer to our midfield woe,s? Understand he had a heart problem but was he not up and training within a week or two? Anyone know how he is doing, if he is match fit or even avaliable for a loan deal?

Riaz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I rate Evander Sno and would love to see him back, BUT he is not the sort of player we are looking for I don't think. We're looking for a playmaker and Evander is not really that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodburyred Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Been thinking this for the last few months would love him to be starting in our centre of midfield with Elliot something he was never given the opertunity to do last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 He reminds me of Yaya Toure of Man City! a great box to box midfielder who can also score goals. Try this it's free for 30 days. free antivirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yes if he was to be played in central midfield ONLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 His first touch was one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen on a football field. I'd have him back in a flash, players central midfield and no where else! Him are Hartley in midfield....oh what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yes if he was to be played in central midfield ONLY. Thats not allowed, GJ liked to have clubs in the bag, and those clubs had to be able to play snooker, rounders and cricket, and very occasionally golf.

Robbored Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is Evander back playing after the heart problem he had?He could be the answer assuming he's fit to play again.I rated him even though Johnson never played him in best center midfield position. Tried to make him a left winger if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thats exactly what he did, total waste. I also remember watching Clarkson be made to plough a furrow down the left side. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wasted out on the wing while he was here. Decent when he played his proper position. Would be a good signing but I can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Of course, assuming he was available and willing Evander would walk straight into our midfield right now. Honestly, the Elliot, Johnson and Skuse combinations are proving to be woefully inadequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I rate Evander Sno and would love to see him back, BUT he is not the sort of player we are looking for I don't think. We're looking for a playmaker and Evander is not really that... Really? I thought that was exactly what he was. Someone who would always want the ball, find space, great touch, retain possesion, pass short and long. Could also go by a player and if given the chance ( in central midfield!), dictate the tempo of the game. This in my mind would definitely come under the "play maker" role.

James Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Didn't rate him at all. Amazed that so many people thought he was fantastic. The rubbish about him played out of position doesn't wash either. He was played in the centre and failed to dazzle enough times, and genuine quality players will adapt to being played left or right of what some people claim is their desired position. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Distinctly ordinary You obviously wern't at either the Ajax home or Leicester Away games last season then.. These being the ONLY 2 games where he was played in his natural position and also happen to be the games where he controlled the tempo and was literally unplayable, square pegs in round holes and all that...

petehinton Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 wasn't played rightly under GJ, would be class to see him back here. May cost a fair bit of money to loan him to the rest of the season though, as i've heard it cost us to loan him last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon uk Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wouldnt mind seeing sno back - his wiki page suggests he played a friendly in november - 2 months after the heart attack, so he should be fit to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Would have him back in a second. Control, passing, tackling, strong, good engine. However like Marv last season was wasted on the Wing so that lesser players could keep their positions in the middle Was criminal that we had Hartley and Sno but rarely played them together in the middle of midfield. Out of contract at end of season, so would be cheap ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Would love to see the big fella back, IF he is still the same player. That's not a criticism. If I had been through what he has, I'd be scared to climb the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 He was/is awesome. Only bloody Bristol City could take an Ajax player and put him out of position to favour LJ. Or rather only GJ could do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Seemed like Marvin Elliott number 2 to me. Another defensive midfielder who should play ahead of the defence rather than an attacking creative one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wow! That's really what our turgid, predictable and 20-passes- too-many counter-attacks need. A midfielder with all the pace of a sloth on mogadon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Fabulous, he scored in counter attacks in two games. He also slowed down the attack and lost possession in many, many, many more. Played out of position frequently? Yes. But TBH apart from the odd bit of flair footwork, he didn't impress me - and Celtic fans, who had longer to form an opinion, seem to think the same.

I'm not questionin how he played against Ajex but that was a pre season friendly not a competative league game. That leaves 1 good performance in the best part of a season on that ratio bring back Trundle. Nothing against the guy but he left cause he couldn't get in the team he's since had a heart attack and has yet to play competatively in Holland. You think he will be the answer to our problems.

rockin-robin Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The best I saw Sno play was away at Leicester when we won 3-0. If I recall, he played just behind the two strikers and was fantastic all game......he scored also. Do we need an attacking midfielder?.......Yes Are his heart problems a problem?.........Yes I would still see if we could get him on a loan till the end of the season.

He may not of been amazing in every game but was still a cut above everyone else. If we had better finishers he would of had alot of assists. Celtic had him as a inconsistant 18 year old? Who still managed to get MOM against Man Utd and AC Milan in the champions league. His ability is not in doubt. Im sure if we built our team around him he would have a similar impact to that of Charlie Adam at Blackpool. Dont think we'll get him for a second though.

Guest mindjuicer Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Amazing first touch and opposition started putting 3 or 4 people on him. If we'd taken advantage of the space that created, GJ would probably still be manager. Whilst he could pick out a long pass, he mostly slowed down play which doesn't suit our gameplay now.
