'Devastated'

Smith seems to be playing just behind the striker(s), all over the place.

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

Great for Leeds though.
..........
Hasza,like your own post says,devastated but still hope you can get promoted with out him.

You can see why I was upset (but not suprised) he moved on. Is going to be a class player. Could not get to the game yesterday - so did not see (or hear) where smudge was playing. Reckon it will take a few games yet for a) for him to get match fit b) to see how whats the most effective role in our team.

For me, if he can still poach goals, then he should be up front. While he might not have had the pace in the premisership for that, he may well still have it for our league.

Good luck with Smith at Leeds. Was saddened to see the demise of your manager and that he was not given the chance to get you over the line this year.

If we lose Robinson over the summer, he is welcome here

Grayson has been badly treated by bates and I am not saying that because he is leeds fan,he improved leeds every season he was here.bates said we had a wage budget of 9mill this season and grayson has gone up to nearly 12mill,now if that is true why did bates let him bring in delph Townsend Pugh Rodgers and smith this jan?we were in top 6 all season till jan and bates gets rid.

Notice that they were all on loan so the thieving barsteward wouldnt have to weigh out too much.We had a chairman Sam hamman who was a thief like Bates and ruined us

Dart,not all loan,Pugh and Rodgers are permanent with smith perm at end of season apparently,Townsend and delph loan but big part of wages payed by leeds(probably about 15k per week each)so not cheap.

Dartford, I must disagree with you there, Bates isn't in the same league (as it were) as Sam.

Adam was always going to go to a bigger club after his impressive performances aainst QPR, just surprised Harry didn't keep him at Spurs

He's not ready for the prem yet, and he hasn't been sold to Leeds. Harry is obviously keeping an eye on his progress.

Hasza,

Yeah that makes sense, he has seen him perform in L1, now Championship and he will be able to assess if Adam is ready for the step up to Premiership next season.

Maybe - but there may be a buy clause if Leeds get promoted, so they take him on.

Why would there be? What position would Leeds be in to force that clause on Spurs?

posted on 7/2/12

ok - here's my plastic ball again...... Spurs may (pure speculation on my part) have done a deal so that there is a sell on clause for Leeds at the end of the season - so an option so to speak for Leeds to go on and buy him if they were to go up.

Thats on the basis that Spurs want to cash in on him....but who the hell knows, I had more success writing for Jackanory

Moocamp,not a clue what hazsa is talking about but what I do know is that a well respected reporter for Yorkshire post tweeted an hr or 2 before it was made public that Adam smith was being sent to leeds on loan which we could make permanent if it worked out at end of season.it has been said that he is out of contract at end of season so we would have to pay compo.
