RUMOUR - Tommy Smith

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

I think if you buy your contract out you have to go to another league.

Like Webster went from Hearts to Wigan....

Well that's us out of it then

[Royal With Cheese]

How long does TS have on his Watford contract?

1 Season I think.

And Watford want more than a million for him? Hold your ground! £1m tops!!!

Jay - talking shite as usual.

i think its us, we are a new club as we have not made an approach before right?

[Sun Tzu]

I very much doubt it's us as we have previoulsy been after him.

On the other hand Rodgers will know what Watford value him at so would be unlikely to put in an offer he knew would be rejected out of hand. The amount is well within what we could pay, but I suspect it's someone other than us or Wolves - QPR ? Burnley ?

No we have made an approach before which was confirmed by their chairman.

From Skysports

Watford have allowed Tommy Smith to speak to an unnamed club after accepting a bid of £1.8million.

Manager Malky Mackay stated earlier on Thursday that the Hornets had turned down offers for the forward.

Former Hornets boss Brendan Rodgers, now in charge at Reading, had reportedly been interested in landing the 29-year-old.

Watford chairman Jimmy Russo has now announced that a new club has entered the race and lodged an acceptable offer.

"We've received a new bid today for Tommy and we will allow him to speak to the club in question," Russo told the club's official website.

"This is a new club that has expressed a desire to sign Tommy."

They are playing hardball I.M.O

[wolsey]

They are playing hardball I.M.O

and hopefully at that price someone at RFC will decide not to play that game

[tee peg]

A stupid price but who knows.........

[Ian Royal]

within our limit assuming he fits into Buck's plans and the rest of the squad well.

[CholseyRoyal]

Naah, bound to be Wolves after him.

[maf82]

we only have 800k out of 6 mill to spend.so it aint us.

[Matt de K]

Well surely Brendan will have his number and be on the phone to him getting all the inside details anyway?? Like "Is this true or is your chairman spouting off more shit??"

[Wycombe Royal]

If he costs £1.8m then I would rather we offer a bit more to Swindon to match West Brom's accepted offer for Cox.

I woulde be very surprised if RFC bid £1.8m for tommy smith,I Wolves will more than likely be the team that bid for him.
