    So we'd just need to find a way of making it his debut each time he plays....

    Is he really 5' 4"? I know it says so on Wikipedia but Transfer Markt has him down as 1.75m (c5' 9"). One of them is incorrect. Or both :)
  • That’s better, back on the right thread!

    Just read a post saying we didn’t need De Bruyne, and realised I was on the England thread!

    Now where did I leave my pills.....

    Whatever, he ain't very tall. But he's quick, determined and positive with his decision making.

    Scored a very tidy goal on his Norn Iron debut:

    Could be a dynamic impact sub against tiring defenders.
    Might have just lost his way a bit, maybe Bowyer gets him back on track.

    Or it's just a rumour without substance and nothing to see here?

    Look who it is assisting his NI goal...

    Easy peasy. He scores on his debut, we send him back. Next day, sign him on loan again. He debuts in his second stint, scores... Send him back, next day sign him.... Etc etc.

    QPR pal rates him, he doesn't understand why Warburton doesn't.

    The Paul Smyth rumour has to be a non starter.
    How do you only score 1 goal in 19 at Wycombe when they get promoted if you are a striker ?

    Bless Josh Parker for his work rate but I never want to see a non scoring forward/striker at Cafc in the tenure of TS.

    A winger with 18 assists would be acceptable, but number 9's and a strike partner have to score goals. 
    He's more of a winger who can play up front.
    He's a bit like a smaller Alfie Doughty .......... direct pacy no frills winger, that runs hard with the ball, can go outside or cut inside and get a shot away.

    I've watched a few videos but not seen him cross or even pass the ball - but very direct, single minded and wants to score.


  • We'll he is really quick and looks to have good control. Worth a punt imo but priority has to be a CB.

    No more skillful midgets please. We have enough players who are too easily bullied out of a game by clogging league one midfielders.

    Because warburton sees him in training everyday and your mate doesn’t?

    Perhaps he plays for himself and  doesn't contribute much off the ball?

    If he’s going to play up front I don’t mind it at all. Would compliment Aneke/Bogle really well and looks to have the pace to get on the end of flick ons.

    Well, from the goal clips, he does seem single minded
    and just goes for goal, so maybe a bit selfish, but you
    can't argue with the end product :)

    League One 2020,  what you need is a team of Munchkins right?

    The Wycombe reaction to this news is encouraging...

    I'd take Smyth, gives us a different option up top

    Looking at those clips he definitely taller than 5ft 4......unless QPR's players are all midgets as well. 

    He's an international  ✅
    He's left footed ✅
    He's quick✅
    He's available ✅

    What's not to like.

    Maybe .... but that's 2 goals for QPR in 18 appearances over 2 and a half years, and one of those was on his debut.
    He's 23 now.

    If you listen to Bowyer talking about his frustration with Albie Morgan; his lack of movement once he's passed the ball plus his failure to track back and cover, chipping in with his share of off ball 'grunt' work for the team effort - I get the impression, that Smyth falls into that category also.

    Maybe the QPR manager Warburton wants his players to be team players - and do the off ball stuff and keep the shape.
    It's a team game after all.

    He's played with Conor Washington already - as a team mate at QPR and for Norn Iron squads.

    They'll be able to understand what they say to each other - even if nobody else does. :smile:

    I'm not in the Golfie critic team - but that is a very positive post for you!
  • I'm not entirely sure what role Paul Smyth would play

    He's not a striker, as he's not prolific. Is he creative as last season he had 1 goal and 2 assists for Wycombe in 19 appearances, which is fairly underwhelming for a team that got promoted

    I'd take Smyth, gives us a different option up top
    And he does have pace and ability to drive with the ball.

    It sounds like he would get a worse reception than Bogle. What is the point of putting a player down before (if he ever) joins us. Surely, we should have enough faith in SG and LB to see what they see in these players

    Underwhelmed, if we are looking at Smyth again! Unless he came in on a perm I think it’s a waste of a loan slot.

    But if he did come in.....in bowyer and Gallen we trust!

    Ha ha I got that wrong then!

    Anyway, I can't understand Pikey's either!
