southvillekiddy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Matt Smith has made 12 appearances out of 24 matches for Fulham, all as a sub. not one start. Apart from one game against Cardiff, when he came on after 18 minutes and scored his one goal of the season, he has not made an appearance until the last quarter at best. If he was expecting to start every game with Fulham after his amazing showing with us last season then he must be peed off. Seems an obvious move to make a substantial bid for him next month. For a change we would know exactly what to expect - an intelligent powerful goal-scorer with both feet and his head. Maybe Kodjia would even pass to him. It wouldn't take the silly money we offered for Gray and Gayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 ready made wilbs replacement, if only wed offered him a deal when his loan finished, instead a summer of chasing fantasy football signings, it would have saved all this fuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 No he finished last year strong after the loan helping keep Fulham up. He started the first 4 league games this year and scored one and was playing well with McCormack. He then injured his knee and missed 2 months and made his return as a sub against us. He hasn't started since his return because Moussa Dembele has been scoring many goals and he's not better than McCormack. I would love to have him back here back its not going to happen I don't think. Moussa Dembele is out of contract and he could be moving on in January so they don't lose him for nothing. Also rumours McCormack is being looked at by prem clubs such as Bournemouth. If you add their transfer embargo it looks extremely unlikely Matt Smith would be available at all, loan or otherwise.

Guest Redrobbin Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Baffling why there not using him unless he still isn't 100% fit. They could do with a few more goals going forward. Having said that they are better defensively than us. Hence the better goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 We could argue to death on this. We could really do a lot worse. If we are only going to loan then by all mean go for anyone in the premier league. Matt Smith at this level scores. On a per minute basis he scores 1 every 184 minutes. That's 1 every 2 games. He's certainly not prolific but his overall game isn't just a big lump up top. He scores, he links up, he assists, he provides an aerial threat and he's got the right attitude. I'm not sure Peter Crouch or Rickie Lambert care about Bristol City one bit and care if they performed for us. They'd be dropping from prem to a relegation zone championship club. Not exactly motivation to try your hardest. At least with Matt we know what we would know what we are getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I think that its a matter of wages when on loan to us we only paid a percentage of his wages, to pay what he gets at Fulham may break our pay structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't have it both ways, either he's unproven because he's rarely a starter and has played very few minutes in the Championship (at which point your minute by minute stats come in) or he's unproven as he has 69 Championship games (just one and a half seasons worth) and scored 18 goals. Not to mention we would be buying a striker from the bench of a team that have earnt just 6 more points than us this season. Proven Championship players or stick with the unproven ones we already have, no point in more unproven inexperienced players. For me, buying experience is the most important thing this January.

Scoring isn't a problem for Fulham, keeping them out is. He formed a decent partnership with Ross McCormack at the back end of last season. He wouldn't have been my first choice at start of season, but in our current situation, I think he could an almost perfect signing, especially alongside Kodjia.

I'm not sure what relegation would cost us financially in the long run, but I'd suggest it would be a hell of a lot more than the amount to spend on some decent permanents (ok, easier said and done trying to sell the club to them!) or having to pay an additional fee to land some decent loans.

Offside Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'd be really pleased if we signed Matt Smith.

He's a handful for any defence, great attitude that would definitely lift our morale, good football intelligence that would provide opportunities for Kodjia, good finisher (with a pretty good goals to mins ratio at this level) also helpful for defending set-pieces.

Fulham are in a transfer embargo precisely because they are living beyond their means. If they want to exit the transfer embargo then they need to trim (even during that embargo) otherwise it's a perpetual cycle. I do not think that they do (hold all the cards) and if they are confident of staying up (they ought to be with that squad) and scoring as they undoubtedly are, I'd say Matt Smith is a prime candidate for sale. I admit I don't know how quickly they can exit, but if they want the benefit of a summer transfer window they simply may have to sell now. With the exception of the clubs who are in real trouble, I really think those embargoed are actually in a very poor negotiating position - 'don't want our money, fine, good luck next season with no additions' - especially Fulham as I think their parachute ends now doesn't it?

Because if they don't get their house in order then the transfer embargo will continue. If their current outlay caused them to breach FFP then they have to increase turnover and/or shed costs, which if they want to do substantially will only really involve selling players. Of course it's a bit more than that; if they feel they are in trouble, or feel they can meet the new limits then they may not need to shed nor want to. But, they simply may have to sell if they want to buy next window. Their statement says they don't need to sell to meet FFP next year. However, wouldn't you say that to preserve any form of bargaining position? Judging by their most recent accounts, they have a long way to go. I think the point is they are under embargo because they are trying to gain an unfair advantage by overspending. They then need to level the playing field before being allowed to improve themselves Edit: beaten to it by davefevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yes this old chestnut again... see he was unused sub again for Fulham yesterday. Has not made 1 start since Fulham changed manager and last few games, even though Fulham doing poorly, has not been brought off the bench even. Add to this that Fulham need to balance the books to get out of transfer embargo and I really can't understand why we are not in for him. For me he would be perfect foil for Kodjia, at 26 is a better bet than YK at 34 and you would have thought would want to come here, unlike Zach Clough who may reluctantly move then not perform.
