Sam Smith

Post by Monkey Boy »

As well as making a cheeky bid for El Miz, wonder if we could get Sam Smith on the cheap from Reading. He signed on a free last season so I don’t know what contract he’s on ( why he signed for them??) seeing that Reading are having a garage sale at the moment,he would be an excellent choice. Started banging in the goals lately after being out injured,however not sure how much he would cost but I’d have him in a heart beat. ( not the singer )

Cambridge offered him the most they'd ever offered a player and he found it easy to turn down in favour of Reading - who gave him a 3 year deal. They would want £££ for him so that would make it a non-starter.

As for El Miz, we have more chance of signing Sam Smith!

I think we stand an outside chance with El Miz plus how about swapping Pigott and a bag of balls for Smith🤔 or pay off his contract? He can’t be happy there?

Reading would probably keep the balls and return Pigott!

I see you moved on from wonderboy Luke Armstrong then.

If you read my posts last year I said we should try for Smith, as for Armstrong I’d still take him. He’s playing in a poor side and low on confidence. In the right team he will score goals.

I think Sam Smith would be beyond our budget wage wise, as written elsewhere Cambridge made him a good offer to stay last summer but Reading made him one of their highest earners. We also are not going to be able to match their valuation of him - he's an asset and worth a few bob even if they are struggling.

Yes I know it is a long shot but seeing what trouble there in thought we could get him on the cheap. If we had him up front and also managed to get El Miz🙂🙂🙂🙂
