What's the appropriate value of a guy out of contract in 6 months? Genuinely curious. Snodgrass' performances this season seem to merit more money, but I'm not ITK

He's got to be worth more because Hull are getting relegated for sure without him. I think they used an extension in his contract as well.

Milan paid 8 mil for Luiz Adriano when he had 6 months left at Shakhtar. They're worth as much as a team will pay.

He's out of contract in 18 months because Hull had an option to extend it for year which they used. They did it with a bunch of their players.

edit: "Hull, bottom of the Premier League have announced they have triggered one-year options on the contracts of Snodgrass, Michael Dawson, Andrew Robertson, Jake Livermore, Harry Maguire and Abel Hernández."

i think he would let us go back to 4231, he would be able to get close to negredo and they could play off eachother and then ramirez on the left I think we could do with his creativity for sure, not sure if we'll ever solve the adama traore vs stuani situation like.

Cohen Bramall - Arsenal's unlikely new recruit - is attempting to sum up a whirlwind few weeks.

One minute the 20-year-old is working at a car plant while playing part-time for Hednesford Town in the Northern Premier League, the next he's training at a Premier League club.

"I was working in Crewe for Bentley Motors," he tells BBC Sport.

"I was on the production line, filling up cars with gasses, brake fluid, washer fluid and all that. Day in day out, Monday to Friday, 6.30am until 5.15pm.

"I enjoyed it but when you're doing those shifts, then training on Tuesday and Thursday, going from Crewe to Birmingham, and playing on Saturday it's pretty tiring."

But his busy schedule hit a setback just days before Christmas.

"I got made redundant by Bentley on the Tuesday [20 December], which was crazy because I didn't know what I was going to do," he explains.

"I needed a full-time wage coming in, not a part-time wage from Hednesford, so I started thinking of getting a new job."

The following day, however, his world was turned upside down.

"My agent rings me on the Wednesday saying you've got a trial at Arsenal," Bramall recalls. "I was like 'what?' - I was gobsmacked.

"He said pack your stuff and get to this postcode, so I packed all my stuff in about an hour, got there as fast as I could, slept for a bit, then the next minute I'm in training with the first team.

"It was crazy how quick everything happened, how I met everyone and they just took me straight in. I had to take the opportunity with both hands."

That's right. It's one of the few ways of getting trials with this type of club. You are paying for the agents connections and a lot of agents start on the small end of things in the hope of unearthing the next big thing.

A former colleague of mine here in Ireland was a football agent part time and had a stable (or whatever) of 40 players that were spread across the Irish top division, Norway second tier and Germany second and third tiers.

Yeah this is suddenly everywhere. It'd be very surprising unless Alexis was going to leave soon. It feels a bit like Torino's president could just be trying to talk up Belotti's value.
