Crystal palace want to sign Ross mccormack and Matt smith this summer and and feel a bid in the region of 5.5m will secure both players.

1.) 23 Apr 2014
They can feel all they want won't be happening. Smith is worth a couple of million now so they need to almost double that bid.

Rubbish, that's about 1/2 of what there worth minimum!

3.) 23 Apr 2014
5.5 million what about Ross s other leg?

4.) 23 Apr 2014
Smith ain't worth 1 million yet alone 2! 5.5 wld be a great deal which includes a striker that can't play on the floor is a great deal

5.) 23 Apr 2014
They can have Smith for sure. Probably the worst striker to have played for Leeds United

{Ed013's Note - very harsh! 11 goals in his first season isn't bad mate}

I could well believe that Pullis would like Smith, he fits the bill as a target man for him. Palace have a massive squad and would need to sell a lot of players in the summer. I hope Kebe is not part of the deal. We will have to wait and see who Massimo appoints as our new manager and the formation and style of football he wants us to play. I do not think Smith is Cellino's type of player and Cagliari seem to play a 4-3-3 formation most of the time

Sorry if they go it will be for about £ 12.5 mill

8.) 23 Apr 2014
Oh Steven, that money would buy our whole squad and if we could get that and start from scratch, I think Mr Cellino would be doing back flips!

9.) 23 Apr 2014
I know 5.5m is a joke Ross is worth more than that alone

10.) 23 Apr 2014
Smith is a good option to have for sure, not a starter for every game yet which is why we need a tall quick forward (ross+smith ain't quick) who can get 10-13 goals and give teams something else to think about.

Ross has to be worth what Rhodes went to Blackburn for, we are going to get loads of these stories but at least with MC we don't have to sell, only if a great price come in, would have been a fire sale for sure if had no takeover

11.) 23 Apr 2014
Anhow - Smith isn't even the worst striker in the current squad - we have Hunt. Granted, Smith isn't the best but he's already done better than Paynter, Ricketts, Forsell that I can think off off the top of my head.

12.) 23 Apr 2014
I'd give em' Smith in fact i'll drive him down, I'd keep Ross obviously, and if we could break the bank and get Jordan Rhodes what a front two that would be!

13.) 23 Apr 2014
Rhodes would be quality. But I'd keep him for the tight games gives us an option torments defences. I always think u need 2 poachers mcCormack and Rhodes. A target man Smith and a pacey dribbler like gradel type. 4 very good options all for different games as long as the coach is tactically astute

14.) 23 Apr 2014
Ross worth more than 5.5 smith is not the worse striker to play for leeds Anhow please remember

Derick Lilly, Ian Rush, Mark Heatley (lowest ever permiership goals total) Clyde Wijnhard, brain deane (2nd time round) Michael Ricketts, danny Cadermatri, Malcome Christie, Leon Constine, Liam Dickenson, Tore Andre Flo, Habib Habobu (if he was a forward couldn't work out what the F+++ he was), Pierre Laurent and BILLY PAYNTER AND THOMAS BROLIN. Expecting a rectraction and as punishment for silly comment you need to say five nice things about Matt Smith

Oh my god there were a few names in that lot I'd forgot about.
P.s does anybody else think Smith got a look of a young john charles, or should I get down to spec savers?

anhow what are you talking about Smith has done ok 11 goals without any decent services, he has created quite a few goals for Ross with his flick ons Get off the kids back!

17.) 24 Apr 2014
Frank strandli I forgot about him well excited when we signed him and did nothing another one who makes smith look like chapman

I think 11 goals is quality when you have mccormack to compete with up front.And don't forget, smith has only played professionally for about 2 and a half years before that he was playing for his uni team! he's also probably set up 4 or 5 of mccormacks goals. He's a good asset to the team and pairs well with a prolific striker like mccormack as he has clearly shown with great flick-ons all season. Give him a break he's 24 and not experienced, he has a lot to learn and can only get better with age. MOT
