Elliottman 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.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He is a below average player, I reckon if he could be trained to curb his diving in he might improve to just about average. We aren't going to be able to shift him, we've already paid most of his contract, so we just have to wait it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 As a person I don't have a problem with him at all. He always seems to be trying his best, he's just not very good. Bet he works hard in training as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely miserable against Blackpool, which was why Tiote came into the side. His performance that afternoon was unforgivable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It'll be a sad sight if he even pulls the shirt on for us this year. £60k a week for a 5th choice (at best) CM is criminal. Especially one as fucking dreadful as him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He looked alright for the first few games of the 2009/2010 season, before he got injured again. That was mainly because he was closer to his level in the championship. He has never been much more than a liability for us other than that unfortunately. Good comparison to a aged Nicky Butt, both should have been put down much earlier. Cruel seeing them in so much pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 This good in the championship and core to our promotion is a myth too. He was mediocre at best and this went unoticed because he wasn't chasing shadows half as much as he now does in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to look committed when your second touch is normally a slide tackle because the first one has bounced 5 yards away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hobshobs Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He is now what Nolan will be in another year. Though not as overweight. Keep hearing this great influence crap but it's what you do on the park that counts. Ashley got it right. Get rid of both. Problem is Smith is even worse than Nolan and consequently nonbody is interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Comparisons between Smith and Nolan are absolutely ridiculous tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
