John Terry hailed Robert Snodgrass as a ‘massive signing’ on Instagram whilst Delan Rice lauded his former West Ham teammate as ‘different class’ following West Brom’s win at Wolves on Saturday.
During his days at Aston Villa, Terry would have seen first hand what Snodgrass is like because he had a debut to remember yesterday.
Sam Allardyce was searching for his first win as West Brom boss and it came at a special team against their bitter rivals.
This is what Aston Villa coach Terry wrote to his former teammate: ‘The Snoddy affect. Seen it and felt it myself. Massive signing for WBA.’
Whilst Snodgrass’ former West Ham teammate, Rice, added: ‘Different class Snods’.
The belief in the West Brom camp would have hit the roof yesterday because Allardyce is an expert in the area of keeping troubled teams in the Premier League.
Picking up a win breeds confidence as it is, but beating your rivals takes it to another level.
But this is where Snodgrass’ experience will kick in because he will ensure the players keep their feet on the ground and maintain their levels for their forthcoming fixtures.
