Srg Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Not sure why they would loan. With his age, what advantage does a loan give them rather than just getting rid? Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I’d imagine their manager saying they need more in just means they need more in before anyone would leave. He didn’t get a game last night which is surprising considering they were losing in the last 10 mins and he was their top scorer. I’d imagine Gregory, Windass, Fletcher and even Paterson (who played RB last night) would be ahead of Smith judging by last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 General response from Wendy fans on t’internet seems to be that they’d be OK with him leaving permanently but loaning him out would make no sense. I do think a loan may make some sense though. If he scores the goals to take us up, then we *should* have more financial muscle to buy him. If not, Wednesday still have a very good L1 striker if they go down. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you saw a pic of him somewhere and subconciously thought to post it? Hope the end of the actor's life was much less unpleasant that the drug boss character.

Would save us money when the budget is tight this year, but could be obliged to buy him if we go up to convince Weds to do the deal. It could be similar to the Washington deal but with a loan aspect instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets his wages off the bill for someone to come in, and they have to be realistic knowing they could go down this year meaning they might need him next season.

Anag Ram Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I’m all for a big number nine like Smith coming in but we have to have a Plan B. We don’t have a single forward capable of turning defenders or beating them with pace. We’re assembling a team of slow players and hoping crosses will lead to goals. As Wigan (and not Derby) showed yesterday, a well organised defence can deal with crosses from the wing. Smith will help increase our chances of scoring. Collins seems a lovely character but I think even he knows he’s not a finisher. But we definitely need a pacy 10 and a driving midfield player or we will struggle this year.

Think Washington is supposed to be the pacy striker who plays on the shoulder. But not seen enough of him to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
