I never jeer Leeds players.

would he be wearing a Leeds shirt?

thats your answer

Never jeer unless a player has badly disrespected the club. Smudger would be a cheer for me.

Jonty would you cheer tho?

Yes, I'd cheer, I really like Smith.

However, don't think we should be signing him, if we do, it is purely a PR stunt by Bates the same way that Macca was.

But I dont want him, not good enough, been finished for years

Take away the name, all you have is player that was once good and not up to much anymore apart from the fact he would give 100%, there are no other postives i could think of, he will never sign for again anyway, all hype.

Forever

You've got it correct

Cheer, and cheer again.


With the rider that I personally would prefer a younger player, with potential to continue into the PL with us. But if he comes back and pulls on our shirt again, he'll be one of us! Jeer if you support someone else only.

I would certainly cheer him as I do for all of our players. Something is starting to get on my nerves about this Smith debate.

Firstly, the YEP! What the chuff do they know about the goings on at Elland Road?! I used to work there for four years but not in the editorial team and they really are a poor man's Sky Sports News. No wonder Dews got out to go work for LUFC instead. I don't believe anything they say in their articles although I still look...weird!

However on to Smithy now. I keep seeing people commenting that he is no longer good enough. Correct me if I am wrong but when he last played in our league, where did his team end up? He happened to play a key role in their midfield and managed to keep away any long term injuries.

We as realisitic Leeds fans have to remember where we are. Smith would add to what we have that is clear to see. He also supports the club and nobody can deny that. So if you were a pro footballer and you supported Leeds, would you put in the extra mile for Leeds more than you would say for Bolton?

My conclusion is he would be a key signing for us. We need more players like Paddy who wear their hearts literally on their sleeves (or should I say headband?!). A few doubted whether Paddy would sign a new deal claiming he would leave us for the first club who offered him a full time contract. Makes you wonder how people thought that.

So I say, Smith IN and Bates OUT!!

Smith

Never supported leeds, he supported liverpool

Agree about the YEP

Very poor to what it was 15 years ago

Good piece otley.

He supported the bin dippers? LIW, where did you get that from?

cheer

i hated him when he went to manure but i read his full bio last season and gained some respect back for him, if he had it his way he wouldnt have played for manure, he was forced by a particular destroyer of football clubs

Otley but where would he fit in our side?

posted on 15/7/11

Definately cheer him,

Jonty - in CDM next to Howson and Brown

or we cud put him in net

posted on 15/7/11

People are assuming we well play 442 this year but I very much doubt it. We will need 3 centre mids, at least one defensive because sg will play 451 again.

Sq and Carlos I hope were not going 451 again, might as well sell somma if Grayson isn't going to play him.
