shoey lol @ the 84 posts for tommy smith, oh now 85 wit me :lol:

He would have been, or could still be a decent reading player, but I think we will cope much the same with or without him.

He would have made an impact, as his stats would suggest, but one man aint no team


Pages!! :roll:

The problem is this Tommy Smith saga has come to represent all that has been wrong for some time with our transfer policy. It's not really about the player and whether we get him or not, but the dismal way we have gone about it and penny pinched ultimately to our own expense. Plus the fact he was BRs number one target so this represents our BEST efforts to secure a player. And of course the fact that NO other players have been touted at all so most likely we will have a couple of panic buys over the next week that could prove even more costly.

All his blab about world class models, getting to the prem this year, the players saying they've learnt masses from him in a real short time. Saying Smith wanted to come to us. Now saying he hasn't gone anywhere, when all recent evidence points to him clutching at straws. Attacking football... Not sure we've seen that this season.

we might lose out this time, but the good players, you will struggle to get, as there aint many out there.

I just hope we got more targets

On the recent exposé, I'd say ignorance is bliss.

i'm quite positive we'll draw Pompey in the 3rd round of the FA cup and it'll be Smith who scores 1 or 2 that knocks us out :|

My mate whose mate's girlfriend's uncle who's been doing the Shorey medical at West Ham for the last 6 years just told me that his other mate's (he only has 2, bless him) sister's nephew is doing Smith's medical as we speak

Falling on deaf ears I'm afraid - an awful lot of of people have fallen for the patter of a Manager with the selling skills and the Contractual Integrity of a Tenerife Time Share Salesman

There've been no rumours on UFRG, so there can't be any serious targets!

How not to conduct a transfer by rfc. It would never have happened in coppells day. A shambles. That said things are getting better on the pitch. I hope.
