Dokko Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Rightio, lets go into the season with a 14 man squad. That's a fucking brilliant idea. Why does everyone on here go so over the top about our players being shitter than shit? Is Smith was as shit as you lot think, why don't we just get in a cheap league 1 player to replace him? I`m sure Donaldson ( if thats his name ) done more in the few minutes he had in his entire NUFC career aye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we? Because Smith is better than we can actually get? I'm as pissed off as everyone that (it looks like) we're not signing a replacement for Smith, but I also accept that if we don't sign a striker, we can't afford to let Smith go. The squad is as thin as we've ever had it in the Premiership, we simply cannot let more players go without replacements coming in. WarrenBartonCentrePartin, read my original post and take note of the words "until we replace him". It's a clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Smith may be s***, but until we replace him, he's better than nothing. no he isnt, he's worse than nothing It's a tough call, they're very similar players. Roughly the same number of goals, assists, or even shots on goal per year. I think I'd still give it to nothing though. He can play any position so he's more versatile, plus he's on significantly lower wages. Oh, and nothing doesn't have that ugly as fuck hairdo.

It followed the question of why don't we sign a cheap league one striker.

My original post was about keeping Smith if we don't get a replacement; this was followed by "having 10 men would be better than having Smith" and "nobody is better than Smith, he's worse than shit". Kinda appears that people would be happy to sell Smith, even if nobody came in, which is absolute nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sell Smith for £1.5m and bring in Nicky Maynard or Billy Sharp. Probably cost a 5th of the wage as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I will be fuming if we sign this useless shitbag. I wouldn't even take him for free. He makes Phil Neville look like a half decent midfielder ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Smith has actually cost us goals, and I find it unlikely that another striker, be it a complete rookie like Ryan Donaldson, would do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play a striker in front of the defence and I think you'd be wrong. I'm by no means a Smith fan by the way, but if he were that easy to replace you'd hope that our Billionaire owner might try and do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
