Norwich City Transfers: 5 Replacements For Robert Snodgrass
3. Chris Brunt (West Brom)
29-year-old West Brom winger Chris Brunt may not be seen as the most glamorous, but its hard to argue against his Premier League pedigree. The Northern Ireland international has now played over 200 league games at this level as well as 40 for his country. If Norwich are sucked back into the relegation battle, then Brunt has the sort of experience that you would want in that type of situation. However, some people may point out that the Baggies winger usually plays on the left wing while Snograss most commonly plays on the right. I would have to say that would be a fair comment, but I would be looking towards Brunt to replace Snograss influence rather than being an exact replacement. The player has started 13 games in the Premier League this season as well as providing one goal and five assists in those games. Further stats on Brunt includes 1.7 shots, 1.6 key passes per match as well as an average rating of 6.91. Its probably fair to say that Brunt doesnt have a guaranteed starting berth with the Baggies, so may well be worth making a bid.
