"Whenever I've knocked on the boss' door to ask why I'm not playing he says 'I think you understand football enough to know why'.

Cold as hell. I love it.  ;D

 

Also love the reference to a prospective coaching role. Pardew knows Smith is finished and I'm glad someone actually realises that.

I'm convinced that Pardew's referring to Ashley/Llambias being responsible btw. I've no idea why everyone's interpreting it differently.

 

The second article backs that up. Smith claiming 'there's only one boss at Man U' as opposed to here - ie Pardew implying he's not responsible for Smith's lack of action. Barton's words somewhat back this up too.

"I've told the manager I would walk away if I didn't think I was good enough to get in the team or be one of the seven subs.

 

If it didn't bother you, you wouldn't be much of a pro. I know I'm good enough to get in that 18. "

 

you aren't, so fuck off.

 

"The manager doesn't blank me, he talks to me all the time, maybe even about stuff he shouldn't."

 

:pardsgrin:

Classic putting his name in the papers to remind other managers that he's available.

 

Good luck to the lad - aside from him picking up a ridiculous wage (thanks, Allardyce) - he's conducted himself well while he's been here, hardly his fault that the club offered him ridiculous wages which have subsequently been prohibitive to him moving on when we realised he wasn't good enough.

What would they have against a 60 grand a week player getting some game time though? i cant think of one reason why they wouldn't want smith around the 18 at least if he was good enough. Add that to the fact that everytime ive seen smith play for us, he's been complete garbage,  i doubt there's a conspiracy. Smith may think so like, but i doubt it.

Smith obviously thinks Pardew's been told not to play him, or at least that's how he's trying to present it.

 

Completely agrees with what Barton says about him being punished for advising the players not to sign the 'bonus sheet'. Obviously Smith isn't good enough to play for us - I personally think he's the worst player I've ever seen in black and white, athletically and technically. But Pardew has gone from starting him in the league a few times last season to not even picking him for the Carling Cup games.

 

He's obviously been told to give Smith nothing but a few minutes at the end of the odd game to remind the idiots like Allardyce out there that he still exists and isn't injured.

Totally agree. Some of the vitriol on here is so OTT it's untrue. Yes he's s*** and was a hideous signing but. He dint buy or pick himself.

This.

I don't rate him as a player at all and don't want him anywhere near the 18 man squad but as a person I feel sorry for him. He should have put in a transfer request long ago. It's that fat wanker that's to blame for all of this (no not Ashley, the other fat wanker, Alerdyce)
