Dan Robin Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 The former Bristol City player will have a medical tomorrow, and he will sign a 3 year contract (with an option for a further year) with Genoa. from: http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/?action=read&id=280831 I'm curious to see him playing in the Serie A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Good luck to him, always liked him and wish he'd been given the chance to play in his best position for us. Nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Genoa are a big club, I hope it works out for him. I always thought he was a great player but it didn't really work out for him. Obviously got bags of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHanded Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Think seria a will suit him.... Will be able to control the game from a playmaker's position! Good luck to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cummins17 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Great player, gutted Johnson never gave him a chance in his natural position, really feel he could of been a great player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Completely agree. Genoa are a top team in Serie A. They would certainly piss all over us. It's also a complete misconception that Serie A is slow. Yes players don't run around like headless Chickens, but there is a lot of movement off the ball, and play generally gets built up through the midfield. Something that Sno missed when playing for us. I heard he suffered from a neck injury whilst playing for us. It came from repetitive strain syndrome...constantly watching the ball being hoofed over his head from defence to the corner flags... Good luck to the fella...our loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark_at_ee_mind Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good luck to him. After watching him play for Ajax vs City I almost came in my pants when he signed for us. I still think he is/was great player, with massive potential and it's a real shame it didn't work out for him here. Great to see that he's obviously recovered from his cardiac problems too. All the best Evander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 It didn't work for him here because Johnson hardly ever played him in central midfield but stuck him on the left wing. Good luck to the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanaticRed Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 When ever he played centre mid he looked a class above everyone on the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven arms Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 A class above,I must have been watching a different Evander Sno then.the only time he looked good is when he played for Ajax and ripped us apart that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Unfortunately he didn't pass the medical, so he won't play with Genoa http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/?action=read&id=281516 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a sad story, as sky sports said, will this mean the end to his playing career? I hope he can overcome this condition and can play on but if not the absolutely gutted for the big man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I read in an Italian site that Genoa couldn't sign him because he has a sort of pacemaker, and the Italian football laws don't allow a player to play in such conditions. I wish him to be able to play football again in another league and in a lower division (where maybe the physical work is ''softer'') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashtonvale Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Might be a good option for us on a pay as you play basis.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Might be a good option for us on a pay as you play basis.. Exactly what i thought... Say's he's without a Club. Sign him up, and i'm sure he would want to prove his fitness. Nothing to lose. Edit...just forgot, we've got to get rid, before we add...Doh! Shame. Would rather have him here proving himself over LJ and Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Feel for the guy, unsure why Genoa refused the deal after finding out about the pacemaker - surely they would have known about that already. He's a brave bloke for wanting to carry on playing, hope he doesn't retire but wonder what club would take a gamble on him now. Would like to see him back, perhaps Millen would use him differently - can't see it happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I asked about the chances of him coming back, and although he was rated here for his technique, he was often home sick and frequently asked to fly home. This started to effect his training, and apparantly he became disinterested towards the end of the season. For this reason City wouldn't have him back. However in saying that, Sno was obviously willing to sign a 3 year deal to play in Genoa. I can't imagine they would allow him flights home all the time during the week. Hope he finds a Club though, and his health stays good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
