Anybody who thinks Smith can perform any footballing function in the top two tiers of English football simply musn't have watched our games for the last 2 seasons. The only explanation, nothing to do with the 'maturity' of the debate.

 

Now listen...

 

Experience, leadership and to be a role model for younger players is a function in football. Okay?

 

I agree with you that Alan Smith has almost nothing to offer on the pitch (when using the ball, positioning etc.)... But the discussion is not about that.

 

The discussion is = Sam Allardyce want Alan Smith at West Ham.

 

And what kind of style of play does Sam Allardyce use? 4-3-3 / 4-5-1, boring, long balls etc... Long balls from defenders to forwards...

 

Where will Alan Smith fit in the best? In our 4-4-2 or in Sam Allardyce 4-5-1?

He'd probably cope slightly better being in a poorer division, that's all I can say. Then again he's going to be surrounded by a worse team than we had in the Championship so he might struggle even more.

 

I honestly don't think any tactic or formation will make his footballing capabilities look any more adequate.

I'd be over the moon. I'd almost forgive him for signing the useless t*** in the first place.

after signing him at an estimated 60kpw for 5 years you'd almost forgive him if we got rid for the last year ? :crazy2:

 

 

 

(just having a dig, i thought he'd be decent when we signed him)

I remember pretty much everyone on here praying for his departure during the summer of 08, one year into his contract. :lol:

oh definitly, i was one, i lead the charge aginst those saying he was doing well when we started in the championship aswell but when we were first linked with him i thought he'd be a decent signing.
