Guest BooBoo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If we waste the Dyer money on Smith its fkn criminal!!! Depends on who else is available though. Not really. £6m for Smith is still a gross waste of money. He's not top class, obviously. But he's vast improvement on the likes of Pattison. Considering we'll likely play 4-3-3 a fair bit next season we'll need extra bodies in the middle. One thing I feel Smith will give us is someone other than Barton who can provide a bit of penetration from midfield. A box-to-box player if you like, who will get beyond the strikers and can contribute goals from midfield. Runners from deep are imperative to stretching a defence. Can also do a job up front and as a DM, which is handy considering our thin squad. It's not the most exciting signing, but it does make sense. He's also nowhere near as bad as most people here seem to think. The last line is spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If we waste the Dyer money on Smith its fkn criminal!!! Depends on who else is available though. No it does not, that much money is a total waste for Smith even if he is the only player left on the market. Just use it for a LB for fks sake!!!

jimmymag Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If we replace Dyer with Smith, that is a major step backwards. At least Dyer can f*cking run. Aye, when he can be bothered! Good fucking riddance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ryanegg Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If we sign Smith or Gudjohnson as a replacement for Dyer then we are fools, one player who has not shown his best form yet coming back from a serious injury and the other an injury prone 29 year old, then were getting no better than Dyer. Both players would be asking for around 60-80 grand wages which is roughly what dyer is on too, so were not really gaining anything. Also i cannot think of anyone who is on the market atm who would be a good replacment for dyer, so were up shit creek without a paddle on that one.

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 seriously doubt we'll get Eidur now; his kneeis fucked. I think this deal will fund moves for some defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheriff John Bunnell (Ret Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hopefully agrees terms ASAP! 10 Days till the season kicks off...

Nicky Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The reason i'd prefer Smith over Gudjohnson given the choice is simply, we have enough strikers at the club, and Smith can play as a midfielder. Reckon he'd give it his all, and along with Barton and Geremi, we'd have a fair bit of bite on the middle of the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Aye played there for Chelsea in Mourinhos first season and was very effective more creativity and goal threat than smith he played up front in Mourinho's first season. would think it is common sense that dyer's replacement is someone with pace, so not smith or gudjohnsen. we could do with gudjohnsen's skill and vision in midfield (tho i don't think he has ever looked fantastic there) but i don't think smith has too many redeeming qualities.
