Smith has averaged 40 games a season for the last 4 or 5 campaigns. That's really good.
Know nothing about him as a player though.

I used to go to school with a Michael Smith. I wonder if is the same bloke.
Was he any good at kicking a football?I used to go to school with a Michael Smith. I wonder if is the same bloke.
Just about to post that link!Has he not taken his phone?
Maybe he has to physically sign on the dotted line which requires him to be at Ryton in person.
Bit odd to have a clubs owner tweeting out details of everything that's going on. We'd all like more communication from SISU but that seems to be taking it a bit far!
'We're actually going up' City fans on Michael Smith
Seriously? Does anyone actually think we're promotion contenders yet?
The side is still lacking in goals a attacking threat yet the telegraph are saying us fans or one... think we really are going up.
Early summer signs seem good yet all attacking threat is yet to be assembled. George Thomas is yet to signal what his plans are... and support for McNulty brought in.
Far to early to call for promotion

I seem to remember the CT running a similar, 'We're definitely going up now' story full of fan quotes (well, at least one) when Armstrong extended his loan to the end of the season. And that worked out fine, so I would agree that we are definitely going up.No idea why people give it that, usually find they get so excited and optimistic they are even more angry if it doesn't happen. Same with takeover stuff.
Will have to see the squad come the first day of the season (and maybe even loan window if needed).
Signing Collins would get us into the play offs. That's the key area we need to address in my opinion. Goals!I have my reservations about promotion. Even if we have a competitive squad, it is as much luck as it is quality on the pitch that will tip us over the line into those playoff/automatic spots. I agree with the above, without another striker I think we'll struggle on the goals front. It's previously been identified that without an effective partner alongside McNulty, he will struggle. Obviously the ideal would be James Collins, but how likely that is, is another matter for another thread.
If we manage to get the Smith deal over the line I think it will be a promising acquisition. Consistent performer, solid and experienced. He'll definitely provide great competition to DKE to push on and progress. Clean sheets are imperative to any promotion push, so we'll obviously need these types of players coming into the squad to achieve them.

Talented kids? George Thomas is one but who are the others? Much prefer proven league 2 playersAgree about a goal scorer but from the players in already and those who are rumoured to be on the way it looks like Robins is also looking for leaders who will step up to support our talented kids. That was our biggest failing last year. Look at all the points we dropped from winning positions because of our lack of game management experience
Another fee? We haven't actually payed for one player yet.
Oh yes sorry forgot about that oneConcrete Rod Mcdonald.... undisclosed fee

Would say them two have the potential but would be better off going to these prem/champ teams. Less rough and tough then league 2. Would be better suited higher upI would say Stevenson and Harries are also talented players which is why most likely they'll be joining clubs (at least) two divisions above us for six figure fees.
Agree about potential and from their point of view (money wise) they probably would be better off higher up but from City's point class player are class and good players will always cope with "rough and tough"Would say them two have the potential but would be better off going to these prem/champ teams. Less rough and tough then league 2. Would be better suited higher up
If they went to prem/champ teams, they would likely go out on loan to league one or two to develop and get first team game experience before getting anywhere near the first team.Would say them two have the potential but would be better off going to these prem/champ teams.

Started young myself. Problem is I couldn't forget the recipe.I started later in life, so my lad is on his way to Secondary school in September and I have just retired (albeit early!) I have a mate younger than me who is a grandparent to a lad only a year younger than my lad. Messes with my head, sometimes - though if you had seen me at Wembley I reverted to teenage behaviour, and am still a big kid at heart!
Well you know what that means then !Smith has averaged 40 games a season for the last 4 or 5 campaigns. That's really good.

Had first in the 80's. She is 31 now. Had kids in each decade except for this one....and that was close. If he came 6 weeks later I would have had at least 1 kid 4 decades on the trot. And im still not even 50 :smuggrin:
My kids keep me young. I don't have a lot of choice. Youngest are 7 and 8. Then 15. 3 in their 20's and the 31 year old. Only 2 grandkids so far.
