Hanshithispantz Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Baffling why he was considered some kind of prodigy by Leeds fans like, he always seemed like an incredibly average forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Smith had been a decent player before he joined us and was a broken player when they let him go. That's not excusing his performances or anything like that. But Obertan, here is a player who was given a huge chance to become something when he joined us yet due to his zero mental strength, heart and sheer ineptitude with a ball at his feet, here we have a player who is basically robbing the club of a wage and the game a shirt. I would put in a better 90 minutes for NUFC than him any day of the week and I sincerely mean that. When he tried to pass the ball only to hit his opponent 3 times in succession... seriously he should have been sacked for that alone. I've never seen a player who cost a few million quid with his pedigree play so much like he belonged on the stands. Rotten isn't the word. He is trully awful. He is Joe Kinnear, Ashley, Llambias all rolled into one as a player. God I hate the prick and his gormless looking face. Even if he put a bit heart and effort in he would be 20% better than he is which is 20% better than nowt. I honestly hope he suffers a career ending injury just to put himself and all of us out of our misery and to also free up a wage/shirt for someone who might actually make it in the game.

Ronaldo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Baffling why he was considered some kind of prodigy by Leeds fans like, he always seemed like an incredibly average forward. I can guaranteed you'll never hear such a shift in perception of a player's ability when he signed for Man U in 2004. Then again, they all wanted to sign him again in 2011 when it became clear we wanted nowt to do with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Smith was a good player who for whatever reason never quite become the kind of player he could have been, I think being played in CM and RM seriously fucked with his career. He was never a prolific goalscorer, but he was a decent forward with an eye for goal. Injuries also played their part. He was a very good prospect at one point though.

Belfast Mags Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I stand by my opinion that Obertan is the worst footballer I've ever seen play for us. He has no heart whatsoever and is thick as whale spunk. He is quick and that is it. Football ability he has zero of it. He's a coward. How he is a professional footballer I do not know. We spent several million pounds on him. He came from Man Utd. He is from good stock back in France. He is a freak and should be nowhere near a football pitch. We've had some shit players turn out in the past but this fucking imbecile takes the piss. Nail on head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think his cowardice sets him apart from other shit players. I can accept that some players aren't very good but the effort and will is there to try and attempt to influence a game. This fucker though, jesus christ, he's petrified and it's become awkward to watch him fail every single time he appears (was going to use 'plays'). Just release the cunt and be done with it ffs. Annoying thing was seeing Routledge leave so we could sign the fucker. Routledge is/was limited but at least he could contribute along the way.

Yorkie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Smith is the worst I've ever seen play for a prolonged period. Butt, the season we went down, was utterly disgraceful too - but he had a couple of decent spells prior to being possibly the worst footballer I've ever seen for us.

loki679 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Smith was a good player in his early days at Leeds, but injury robbed him of what little natural pace he had. He got 38 goals in 172 appearances for them. Sholaesque numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 When I lived in Leeds (our relegation season) I asked a few people if he was ever actually any good. All of them claimed that he really was. Unbelievable story, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If we're talking about players who actually played regularly then Smith would have to be the worst IMO. For all Obertan's shitness he hasn't actually appeared that regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF to Obertan he would probably be perfectly serviceable in the Championship, he's rubbish in this league but actually has traits that are useful in a footballer, mainly his pace and a modicum of skill. Smith, regardless of what league he plays in doesn't bring much to any area of the pitch other than being 'brave' enough to hack someone down.

henke Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If a team full of Smiths played a team full of Obertans, the Smiths would wipe the floor with the Obertans. How fucking scientific is that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think it's the spinelessness of Obertan that sets him apart from most other players. I've never seen a player shit themselves as much as that. It's the sort of thing that happened at school, but he's managed to get to the Premier League and be like that, it's really weird.

Yep, he actually reminds me of myself a bit, just lacking the conviction to always do the right thing. Not that I have his ability obviously, but I identify with his occasional brain freezes. I wouldn't call it spinelessness, more hesitancy or self-doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think Obertan is worse than Smith was. Smith "did a job" briefly in the Championship... kind of... at times... Obertan is just embarrassing, because obviously physically he has a lot going for gim. His brain must have holes in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smith team would have to forfeit the game after they have had too many players sent off. Fuck, I fucking hate Alan Smith. Hid throughout the games only to show up and do a daft tackle every now and then to fool some idiots that he was a "hard worker". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
