Adam Smith has been recalled by Spurs with immediate effect, he was supposed to be on a season long loan.
Does this ring any bells as I recall Andros Townsend being recalled by them a few years back and he didnt even make their bench.
I cant see Adam will make the Spurs squad, so are they selling him or loaning him out to a bigger club.
Its a great shame as he has fitted into our team really well.
The timing of this stinks, as we have Sheffield Weds tomorrow, with no Doumbe or Chicksen, and the transfer window closes tomorrow.
Who will take Smiths place against Wednesday, any ideas ?.
As I said thanks a bundle Spurs,
Thank you Spurs NOT

he has just joined us (Leeds United) on season loan with view to permanent deal in the summer which is maybe why they recalled him as no disrespect but it would have been unlikely MK could have bought him from spurs.
Agreed though the way Spurs went about things doesnt sound great.

Pretty fuming that he's left us to go on loan somewhere else. Shocking shocking shocking way to do business.
Great for Leeds though.

Moo,remember I said on here I had heard this was happening,can't believe I got it right 2weeks ago.good for leeds as he is a special young player but sorry for mk as I want you to take the 2nd auto leaving the 3 Yorkshire clubs fighting it out for 1 place only for a good Stevenage team taking it

you were indeed spot on superwhites, and as I said then I would be devastated if he moved...and I am. However you cannot blame him or Spurs. Just hope your owner actually dips into his pocket at the end of the season.
Money wise we know we cannot compete (yet) with the bigger clubs. But I think because of the style of play we have, bigger clubs are happy to send their players here to get good playing time. When the chips are down though, they look after themselves.
Dan Bates Out the man is right we could not have bought him from Spurs and with Leeds he is guaranteed championship games and if you go up he will in all likely hood be joining you full time. Good luck and fingers crossed we can overcome your compatriots in our league

Strange way to do things by Spurs but then the manager is on trial at the moment.Maybe Redknap knows Bates well as they are both dodgy characters.Can honestly see no point in him going to Leeds when he is ready for the prem

.........
Then on that point why did he go to L1 if he is ready for prem?we have hardly been out of top 6 all season and you have a chance if you finish there.we have brought in 4 players from prem this month,Townsend delph and now smith,all 3 young and exciting talents that will give us a good chance.

Townsend was with us for a while as well - and again he was good. We've had good ones from Spurs, maybe Bale needs to be showcased before the end of the season, he is welcome here

As a Leeds fan, I have to agree; any reason this couldn't have been sorted a few days ago to give you guys time to find a replacement. Still, it seems you thought highly of him, as you are disappointed to lose him, so I am sure he will do well in his step up to Championship football. Nevertheless, as someone who until recently lived just up the A5, I wish you guys all the best this season; hope you can find someone to fill his spot by the end of today.

I can't see Robbo on his mobile while the match is on and the rest of the players will need to pull together as they will know its not going to easy.
Adam Smith will do well attacking but I fear his defensive abilities will be put to the test in the Championship

I bet Adam is glad hes joined Leeds now!!
