rudemedic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Dont forget the compo we would get for Smith as well. As long as we offered him another deal. £0 He's 24 when his contract expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesmitt Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 £0 He's 24 when his contract expires. My mistake, thought he was not 24 till July. Will his contract definitely end the 30th June or could the club have thought ahead and just offered him a 2 year deal from the date he signed in May?

bossrocks Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Get a season ticket you might get a shirt thrown in (allegedly). I'll be getting an ST regardless but might buy an away kit if I get a free home one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If Smith leaves he will be no better then the money grabber Chris Porter. An arsehole of a comment, if you don't mind me saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Got to say that if I was Smith I would jump at the chance of more money. If he refused a step up and stayed loyal with us and didn't continue his current performances he would be off next summer. Chances are then he would have to take a step sideways or down at best. If he moved to a championship club even on the bench and doesn't get much of a look in chances are someone high in league 1 would take a punt and give him a chance next summer. All down to how confident he is to make a step up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Blu Guru has it spot on above IMO. Smith's best chance of a decent move is right now. While he's still being talked about and is fresh in the memory after his 3 decent games against higher opposition. Strike whilst the irons hot for him, and before people realise he's actually not very good (yet - emphasis on that) So if he goes to the Championship for say £400-£500 a week more than he's on with us, that basically a £20K a year wage increase. Who could blame him for that? Make hay and all that; and when he's found out at the higher level - the lower league target man career he's already forging can just continue. If he's sensible (And he is it seems) he'll then be able to continue to play in League 1 or 2; just with a decent bit of money from bench warming for a year or 2. I have it in my head he's gone. I thought that as soon as he got his fancy new boot deal for scoring 2 goals on the TV. His increase in twitter followers and from having Adrian Chilles fall in love with him has seen his stock rise well above his actual ability. He'd be foolish to not take advantage of that whilst he can and before he's found out. Good luck to the lad mind; and he goes with a massive thanks from me for his recent exploits.

Agree with all of this except I think there's a possibility he could make it at a higher level. Its a big 'if' but he had Liverpool and Everton defenders terrified. An Everton supporting mate of mine said their fans (and he thought their players) have never been so afraid of an opposition player in recent times. Distin was clearly uncomfortable when Smith came on in both games after having it easy against Iwelump. If he's supremely self-confident, he may want to play regular football and feel he can keep improving before going for an even bigger move next summer. If he's as bright as he seems, I suspect he'll do as you suggest and leave now for the money. And I wouldn't blame him. But I would like to see him playing for us next year if he can keep up the cup form. Edited March 1, 2013 by bossrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangerinedreams Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Many Premiership managers will now be thinking of using Mat Smith as a 'Plan B', especially in Europe, even Barcelona's defenders wouldn't know how to cope with him as normally they don't come up against that type of player. Matt Smith heading the winner in a Champions League Cup Final - you saw it here first. Keepers' worst nightmare mate! Edit: he's a :censored:in wreckin ball Pause for thought: is he a better player when the tide is in our favour...?
