West Ham have confirmed that Robert Snodgrass has joined Championship club Aston Villa on a season-long loan and Hammers fans are glad to see the back of him.
The news was confirmed on the official West Ham Twitter page on Friday afternoon.
Good luck, @robsnodgrass7!https://t.co/HB2KdBOzdC

The Scotland international only joined West Ham from Hull in January of this year for a fee close to £11m.
He moved on the back of a rich vein of form at Hull where he scored 14 goals in 56 games, with ten assists.
However, he couldn’t replicate that form at the London Stadium and failed to score a single goal for his new club.
He now joins up with former manager Steve Bruce at Villa Park, where he’ll spend the season on loan and look to play himself back into Slaven Bilic’s plans or earn himself a permanent move elsewhere.
West Ham fans are happy that the player has left, albeit temporarily, but may have to face his return in about nine months’ time.
