Smith off to United for Undisclosed fee

Interesting one, the BBC are reporting they are in talks.
Only 23 I think, and shown in patches he's a real talent. Is he the type of player at that price, we should be looking at? I could see him in a midfield 5, but he's perhaps not someone who could slot into a partnership with Hendrick. He's just the sort of talent to price ratio we'd be looking at though I imagine.

Would have made a good partnership with Jones.

It's obviously Robin Smith.

A really good signing for Man Utd, and the Indians will be very wary of this man when they face Man Utd in the World Cup next season.

This could have been him but he may be a bit past it.

Manchester United

Richard "Dick" Smith (died 18 November 1909) was an English footballer. He started his Newton Heath career in 1894. He played for the club for seven seasons, scoring 37 goals.

Would be a good signing but West Ham would be a better fit. Smith is a man of iron.

Deal off, Yeovil have blown them out of the water on wages apparently. Signed a 2 year deal.

Holty, what you're missing is that I started a thread saying 'Hughes to Watford - 8 million'. Despite everyone else knowing exactly who I was talking about, Diesel decided this was a crime akin to genocide because I omitted "Will". He was making no ground on that thread via a few put downs he couldn't respond to, so through misty tears he started this one.

Lethal up front with Wesson.. best shots on target stats since that Italian lad Uzzi played for the Gunners.

When I saw the title I thought it was Ceri Hughes.

...and if Diesel had said that instead behaving like a little boy who'd dropped his ice cream, I probably would've changed it.

To be fair, this thread Smith to United could be anyone to about 20 teams.

Yours was obvious by naming the team, with the recent rumours being on here and in the media.

I genuinely don't know which Smith this OP is about, although I'm guessing the team in question is Essex Reds

Diesel's just being a knob.

The Will Hughes to Watford link was posted on here last week, although rather unhelpfully it was merged with a thread about Tom Ince.

Why? I have no idea, you'd have to ask the mods.

It has however lead to this confusion for Diesel where he couldn't idenitfy which Hughes was going to Watford when another poster started a thread yesterday. It wasn't rocket science to work out who it was, but he was then very childish in setting up this arsey thread.

I honestly thought the joke banner headline meant Smiths crisps had been bought by United Biscuits.
