oafcprozac Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) One month loan SMS I hope it's the kick up the arse he needs, but a move sideways will achieve little imo. He should have been sent to somewhere like Barrow... Edited September 23, 2010 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dont think Smalley will get until he is playing Sunday league, he has decent ability but no bottle whatsoever and has to be one of the most disinterested players I have seen wear the shirt!

ah_oafc Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Can't see why we should loan him to Rochdale. Rivals in the same league. Bury would of done :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 loan move is good for him, get him games, he either comes back to us a better player or he goes to rochdale and the people who didnt like him see the back of him, how can this be bad for us? im sure theres a clause somewhere stating he cant play against us, I hope he does well and I hope rochdale do well, obviously I hope we do better but if another local non-money club acheives something id be over the moon!

opinions4u Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Anyone think it's a case of half a dozen players on the transfer list that we can't get rid of, so it's a case of shunt any fringe player out on loan to get the wage bill down? Regardless, I think it's a good move for Smalley and a real chance to prove his critics wrong. It worked for O'Grady. I wish it was a club in a different division, but beggars can't be choosers and I think we need the wage bill trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on-loan for a month.. so that means he'll be back before we play them.. is this a attempt by PD to know rochdales tactics from the inside and will plot their downfall for 2nd November..?

Macca Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 He's not getting a game here and with Jones and Dikaba ahead of him for a starting position it makes sense to get him a better chance of first-team football, thats if Rochdale decide to use him, they didn't need Dale Stephens when he was there.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The lad definitely has talent, but doesn't apply himself well at all. Plus, he's a pretty dire injury record over the past 18 months. Wonderful in the air when he wants to be, but no football brain. Keith Hill seems to get the best out of raw and potential-only talent. Could be a decent move for him because if he doesn't do so well there, then a drop down a few divisions beckons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Credit to RoyleArmy for seeing this coming, although if Smalley is his source then he couldn't have gone far wrong! Unlike O'Grady I'm sure that Smalley has the ability to be a good League One winger or striker (hopefully with us), but as of now he hasn't produced the goods for us so I think this deal is a good move for all parties.

Bristolatic Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think 11 goals in 120 games pretty much proves he isn't a striker. He doesn't usually show that he has a winger's brain either by running down blind alleys with no end product. If defenders carried on running with him, he'd let them chase him half way up the Chaddy, BUT I think there is something in there that may be dragged out of him. Perhaps Keith Hill can do that but, if he doesn't, I can see young Deane dropping down the divisions into obscurity. If he does come back a better player, then it's a loan move that's worthwhile. Good luck, son. Now work your Niagaras off and prove those of us who don't rate you to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Seeing as it is a months loan i see it as Dickov has people higher than him in the pecking order at the minute. So ship him out to get his confidence and fitness back to his game, maybe even some bottle and a kick up the arse. Hopefully he will come back a good player but im not holding my breath.
