    Default Tommy Smith

    Heard on saturday that Tommy may well be on his way out of QPR on loan this january, and we are apparently very interested. I saw today that this has been repeated elsewhere and appeared on football rumours (highly unreliable), but I did hear about this beforehand.

    Just wondering if any of our regular ITKs have heard anything similar.

    Would love to see Tommy back for the rest of the season myself, would be a more than adequate replacement for Kights.

    Thoughts?

    I'll check it out, if we could make it happen - would be absolutely delighted. One of my favourite Watford players of recent years, would be great to see him back.

    Tom is appearing on the bench every game for QPR who don't exactly have a large squad. I know they have brought the lad in from Man Utd but I can not see him moving until the end of Jan if he does as it will depend on QPR transfer activity.

    Would love him back to fill the gap on the left, definitely.

    I remember when watfordlegends interviewed him when he was playing for Portsmouth & they asked whether he'd ever return to the club again in which he replied "definitely" so who knows! Would love to have him back.

    Still loving him for leaving Rodgers waiting at a press conference with a Reading shirt with Smith on the back

    I don't what the situation with TM contract is, but if QPR pay his wages to kept him match fit then I would say yes , if we are paying his wages why should we pay to get him fit for QPR to off load him at a fee.

    I get what you mean and basically agree with it, but, as much as he's probably my favourite player of the recent times, it's not as straight forward as that.

    He was fully on course to go and sign for Reading, with Rodgers, and that supporters hated him at the time. He never felt the same way as supporters (he shouldn't have to anyway, mind).

    It's just that Portsmouth came in last minute offering more money.

    It wasn't really that he rejected Reading because it was Rodgers there but just thought I'd attempt to clear it up a tad.

    I'd certainly like him back here, but as it's previously been said, Malky will almost certainly try for him as well and personally I can see him choosing Cardiff over us.

    I agree, he's a SGB.

    like most i would love to have smithy back for the rest of the season. he is the sort of player who can change games with just a single decision, a bit like kights.

    It seems that QPR will be flashing their cheque book so Tommy is likely to fall further down the pecking order. At his age he needs to be playing first team football and I think he would be more or less guaranteed a starting spot here. At Cardiff he would probably not be a regular in the starting eleven, but Cardiff have the financial resources to pay most if not all of his wages.

    Hopefully Mr Warnock will look favourably on any request we put in bearing in mind we kept Heidar fit for them.

    Malky only managed Smith for a couple months if I'm right?

    But played with for however long, and guessing they're mates.

    Also even if he wasn't Cardiff's manager they still can offer him more money and the fact that they're a team with big promotion chances.

    But then again he has history here and won't have to travel/move.
