Your thread was merged with the left back poll thread and his name was added to said poll. Now stop behaving like a silly little tart.

Where are people coming up with the idea that the £6m for Smith comprises our entire transfer fund? I don't think it's that tbh. It's just that £6m can be spent better elsewhere, regardless of how big the budget is. Smith in for £6m. Dyer out for £5m. Net spend of £1m. Saving about £25,000 a week in wages. I honestly don't get the hysteria.

He's nowhere near as bad as some are making him out to be. It's just ridiculous the way some folk go on about potential signings not being good enough for us. He's no world beater, granted, but he'd be a decent squad player and give us a bit of depth. At first glance the fee seems a little high at £6m but compare it to Chopra and Bent it's about the going rate tbh. Now it looks more and more likely that Dyer is on his way, we'll be one down and he'll need to be replaced. Smith would be an acceptable replacement imo and he'd cost us less in wages.

I sense a locking tbh...

We agree Dave. What we associated with the Ultra's dislike is how our name is slandered about by a certain person who WAS well respected on the forum and that person trying too associate us with the behavior of the riff-raff at the game due too a leaflet grudge Dave. Well can you kindly take your 'leaflet grudge' to PM's please because this is shite.

Someone's angry.

Saying that like,we've always done shite the seasons he hasn't played. So lets play him and maybe he'l bring us some luck eh ? Hopefully Make your mind up...

Depends on the formation tbh. If we go with 4 in midfield then I'd stick him out on the left of it. If we're going with 3 CM's then, as long as he's got 2 minders in there with him, I'd be quite happy to see him there with the chance to get forward and support the target man. If we don't sign another LB then I think he's good enough to be converted into a better LB than Babayaro is and Huntingdon could ever be. Allardyce has got to find a way of getting the best out of this kid.

What are his qualities that make him a good player in your opinion? I never said he was a good player. I said he wasn't a bad player. Bitch.

Fuck, no! Not a bad player but WAY down the list of potential transfers in...

Who gives a shit tbh...

Can't be. The Arse won their first game and Inter lost their's. Fuck knows how they've worked it out. 'Random' draw I assume...

He was very good today, mature performance. Define mature. In this context - responsible, disciplined and sensible.

Sounds encouraging but it's still early to be getting carried away. Juve are a million miles from us, fitness-wise. Looking good though.

Poor bastard will just have to put up with being first choice for the Italian champions then won't he?

Christian Chivu from Roma to Inter for €13m (about £8.7m).

You're fucking obsessed with this 3 at the back shit, aren't you?

cough* beardsley*cough. would have been a good idea when roeder was manager,not sure what allardyce would make of it if true. It would be nice to have him at the club on some capacity and if it was just selling the club to players,investors,advertisers etc i can't think of anyone better. The exception that proves the rule... erm..........mark mcghee ? You can hardly compare McGhee in '79 to Keegan in '82 though surely??

You should never go back. That applies to all walks of life. Love the bloke to bits but no thanks.

Cheers.

Sort that fuking AV out. He's got a point like. Sort the fucker out. blueyes.gif

I havent seen Rozenhal yet but him apart, no one is better than him. No doubt he would be good for us Exactly. We might have a Cb who might be as good as him. Other than that? Yet some thick twats are dismissing him as a joke signing. Beggars belief tbh.
