Birmingham fans seem to think it's rubbish so probably a false flag

Better give Kenny a call to see if he can recommend a replacement, for the gem he found us. If he goes I think promotion becomes much harder , he’s been a massive part of our success this season, he can turn a game . We shouldn’t let him go until May and we should be asking £500,000 if he insists on going , not roll over for £300,000. Show some guts Orient
Agree. 300k is peanuts for a player of his quality.Alright we miss out on a fee if we wait until the end of the season. It’s more important for him to stay and help us get promotion.
For his quality yes; for his ability to stay fit I'd say no. If Smyth does have a decision to make today it will be football versus finances. A team like Brum can't afford to manage his minutes in any where near the same way as we have had to. If I was a betting man, then he will only last half a dozen games at a championship side before breaking down in some way. Its very sad because his ability is clear, but he's made of glass.
FWIW he's hardly made a contribution to our efforts throughout the month of January. He's been very off colour and is a primary reason for our change of fortune. Its not as if he's been man marked out of games - he just ain't been in them.
If he was at Birmingham, he wouldn't be the main man and have started 24 out of their 28 games. He'd be very much a squad player.

Maybe a rumour circulated knowing it to be false , to allow us to think we've had a good day and cover up lack of striker.

Well didn't the rumour start after the usuals spat their dummies out when it was clear nobody else was coming in?

Aren't Birmingham flat out broke? Paying over the odds for an injury prone league 2 winger who's only got 6 months left on his contract would be really baffling business from them.

George Sessions on Twitter says it’s BS. Think he’s been reliable before.

Sadly FTC Jnr believes that Smyth is already sizing up accommodation in Brum and checking out hot vehicles in the local British Leyland dealership.

I agree. Surely there’s a striker out there who would be chomping at the bit to prove himself if given a second chance. It would be better than nothing and a replacement for Wareham

Well, a good pal of mine was in Leyton High Rd yesterday & overheard a conversation between 2 men, discussing that a mate of theirs had overheard someone connected to the club saying Smyth, Birmingham & Spaghetti Junction but couldn't make out the rest of what was said.
You heard it here first.
