Fop 1 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It must be a little difficult for Smith as he's been made to play all over the place around his major injury. I suspect we've never seen what he could be and never will (although whether that "could be" is enough is open to debate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Why doesn't he score? Ferguson wanted to make sure he was disciplined in the DM role so got a sports therapist in who hypnotised Smith and made him believe if he went anywhere near the opposition goal he would die a slow and painful death. Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 There's no way Smith (who has been shite) is as bad a buy as Luque or Boumsong were. i dunno like. another season like this one and he wouldn't be far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Luque has to be the worst really, although signings like Diego Gavilan and Andreas Andersson were probably just as bad in some ways. At least Smith's had the odd good game. Luque was shocking on the pitch, barely played anyway, cost us a fortune in wages and in transfer fees and we had to give him away in the end. Smith's a long way off that imo. Still been awful though. Edited April 3, 2008 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that two of the goals in that game were scored by players who were dismal failures at nufc (him and Chopra) made it all the more sweet.

He said it was the proudest moment of his career. Then joined the mackems. That game was brilliant for so many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I R Toon Fan 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I liked Barton (as a player) at Man City for a few seasons. I know he's a complete bell but he can be a good player. Last two games proved that but can he keep it up? duh duh duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 the current formation seams to suit him, but will we still be playig the same next season, or against better opponents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty 4 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Have always said he's the attacking player we need. Always looks like he's going to create something. Edited April 5, 2008 by Besty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 With each game he gets better and is turning into the player i was expecting us to have signed! If he keeps going like this (and doesn't get sent down) he'll be an asset next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It's sods law that he's going to get sent down, isn't it? It's a conspiracy iyam. They've put his trial after the season so they can punish him depending on how well he does under KK. If he carried on playing shite, he'd definitely have got off!

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Against Tottenham he was creating chances for others and had one memorable opportunity. Against Reading he looked more like the player Man City relied on to get goals. Alright he didn't score but he was making chance after chance. If he doesn't get sent down and gets a goal the flood gates could open and he could be the goal scoring midfielder we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 703 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Still not convinced. Two swallows don't make a summer. He has looked like earning his price tag over the last three games, but there's 38 league games in the season. Even the worst players can have streaks, take a look at Carlton Cole earlier this season or Matty Taylor at Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
