bmck 117 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou has revealed Rangers are currently in talks with winger Tommy Smith over a move to Ibrox. Rangers had already bid Ã?£300,000 for Smith though the troubled English club said such a low offer was ‘derisory’. Yesterday, Ian Durrant confirmed Rangers had been in talks with two players, Tommy Smith was believed to be one until Portsmouth today confirmed it. Andronikou told Portsmouth news outlet The News: “There has been dialogue and that will continue. We’ll see where it goes.” Smith has a disciplinary record which though it can’t compete with Gary Linker’s, is still enviable in modern football with only 16 yellow cards and no red cards in his fourteen years as a professional footballer. The talented 30 year old is seen by Walter Smith as an ideal addition to the squad as he focuses to strengthen with a couple of players who can play on the wings. OH FFS, it is with us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,707 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 OH FFS, it is with us. I've still not seen this guy play,I don't follow the EPL like others do, but he's not coming across as a good signing:( 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Whilst �£1.5 million would be a ridiculous fee, i do actually rate him and think he'd do alright for us. Would certainly prefer him to taking a potshot on someone like Welcome or Mphela 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 ^ That's a fair point. It's probably easier to be excited by someone foreign because you kid yourself on there's a chance they could be spectacular. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Welcome is the one i'd be most disappointed if we signed. Not that i've ever seen him play or know anything about him, but because i think he's our last resort and someone we'll only sign if absolutely every other deal collapses 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 780 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Even the Pompey fans on their forum don't know if it's QPR or us:) He is linked with both us and QPR hence the confusion 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabashcannonball 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Rangers have renewed their interest in Portsmouth striker Tommy Smith as they step up a recruitment drive before the SPL kick-off. The Ibrox club had a reported �£300,000 bid rejected by the Pompey administrator in June, but Walter Smith remains a fan of the 30-year-old and there has now been fresh contact between the clubs. It is understood Tommy Smith would not be an alternative to Nikica Jelavic, and the club are also targeting USA striker Robbie Findlay. (Daily Mail) Must be fekkin Stevie Wonder who does our transfers....�£300k increased to �£1.5 mill allegedly, if that is true the words desperation and sheer incompetency come to mind. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I agree with the quote that it shouldn't affect the Jelavic deal as i'd imagine Smith is being signed to play as a winger 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Gah, no thanks, over 30 hardly did anything at Portsmouth, was about as bad as that Watford player who plays for Newcastle 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
