Never really rated him and can't see why MK feel he will add anything other than depth to their squad. Not concerned by this one bit in fact quite the reverse.
good signing for a League 1 club and although he has been out injured & not my favourite player I'm sure he should be playing at least Championship level.
Hopefully he will play well for them (except against us in 2 weeks time) and will help MK Dons to take points off our rivals.......
I remember when we played leeds in the prem and both him and david batty surrounded john robinson after a hefty tackle. Smith & Batty were pushing robinson about until andy todd steamed in and went face to face with the both of them. Thought they were hard men until they met toddy!
says he's not the kind who just stays and picks up his wages but i'm guessing that's exactly what he has been doing until his 60k per week contract is almost up

That's what i thought. Only now playing on loan as his contract is nearly up.
Also one of the pictures on the BBC article is him lunging in with some ogre challenge, only thing he ever does.
Nobodies favourite player, but to be fair played at the very top. Achieved 19 England caps and played in Europe for Leeds United and Manchester United. Picked up some pretty horrific injuries, but soldiered on (against medical advice) just for the love of the game. He also played for Newcastle and turned out for M.K. Dons and Notts County as he dropped through the divisions from Championship to League 1 and League 2.
Yes he was the bloke who effectively cut short rufus career.It was at Elland Road, a shockingly late tackle.I wish him all the worst in life,a horrrible nasty git who every time he played I was praying for a career ending injury.
Remember him and Bow as two nasty snarly ferral players!
Absolutely not to be compared. Bowyer is a legend Smith is a cnut
Hmmm
Only cos Bowyer is ours. He was a horrible shitbag of a player too, tbf
With the possible exception of Rob Lee Bowyer was the best young player I have ever seen. If only our present bunch of players showed as much desire as he did we would not keep dropping points from winning positions like we have in our last 3 games.
Not suprised. There was (and I am sure is still) a big rivarly between the 2 clubs. Also remembering Cantona going from Leeds to Man U. There was a big rivarly there before. Leeds fans hated Man Itd fans. (yeah I know ost of the country hated Man Utd).
Further to my previous post,one of my most happy moments in football was when he was in a wall at united and the free kick broke his leg.joyous retribution
He scored in his home debut for Leeds against us. When he left for Man United he still looked about 14.
But reading between the lines many Leeds fans still feel very bitter about him.
He was sold to Man Utd for the same reason that Cantona was - because Leeds were in dire financial difficulty and Man Utd were the only club happy to pay everything up front.

All you can do now is beg Curb_It for forgiveness and pray she's not had a few today and feeling vengeful.
