OoOGazOoO Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just watched a clip of him scoring for us in the friendly against Sampdoria (2007) on youtube. Cracking header.......... Just watched that on Youtube, awesome header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 He was very good last session. (2009/10) oh no he wasn't. he was very good at cardiff and thats about it (he was good at home to villa this season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 He was very good last session. (2009/10) oh no he wasn't. he was very good at cardiff and thats about it (he was good at home to villa this season) He wasn't bad against WBA on the first day of the season either.

LesPaul Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Which is even less impressive as we were down a division. One of the biggest wastes of money in this clubs history and THAT is saying something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Find it hard to hate Smudger like, it's not his fault he's quite a lot below average. I still feel a bit sorry for him that Fergie ruined his career by making him a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I thought he was pretty good for the first half of last season when we were insistent on playing for narrow victories. He pretty much became surplus though for the second half of the season when we realised we were actually too good for most of the teams in the division and started rolling them over.

Aye, probably, can't really remember what he was like before that TBH. 6 league goals up front in his first season there, 10 in all competitions. Had a fair bit competition though with Rooney and Van Nistlerooy. His big injury was in 2005 so didn't have that much time to get used to his new role. Think he played more as a striker for them when he did come back from injury cos Van Nistlerooy had left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been 'pretty good' at any stage of his NUFC career. His contribution ranges from shite to absolute fucking holocaust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Did Smith go to the US? A year left on his contract. Told to find a new club. No-one interested, except maybe Leeds if we pay most of his wages. If we are stuck with him, do we name him in the 25 man squad (probably as a reserve for Tiote), or do we leave him out? If the latter then we may as well send him to Leeds and save a bit of the cash? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 We're almost certainly be stuck with this fucking liability for the remainder of his contract here. I worry that he's going to given the green light to cover for Tiote whilst he goes to ACN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboTrev Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He cost/is costing us a ridiculous amount of money, however, my opinion is that he does an adequate job as a defensive midfielder and he was doing okay just before we signed Tiote. I also thought he did better than most when we played Darlo the other night. He won tackles, rarely gave the ball away, was always available for a pass and worked hard to link defence to attack.

He's useless. "An adequate job" is Danny Guthrie. Smith is just about a Championship player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He's absolutely shambolic. He makes up for his the fact he's awful at reading the game by diving in like a lunatic. Butt was doing the same when his legs were totally shot. Just wish he'd move on. I can't see us winning a single game with him playing CM unless the opposition have six men.
