Smithies to Cardif

[maidstone_hoop]

Apparently for just 4 mill. If this is true then the club are a f***ing joke.

We should be getting 10mill plus with the amount of money around at the moment and the fact he’s the best keeper in the championship.

[Ginger Ninja]

Yeah, getting £3m more than we paid for him is a joke
Step forward, Mr Lumley.

[Norths]

Very poor negotiating if that's the fee being received.

[Hitman34]

4 mil is a bit of a joke. With all the millions flying about in the prem, we gotta be looking at 7mil min. Add to that, I think hudds have a sell on clause if memory serves me right.

[Ginger Ninja]

How many years left on Smithies contract? If it's 1 year, there's no way we would be getting much more than £4m.

[1973 ranger]

Did he not extend a year or two ago till 2020/21? Not sure about this transfer as very settled where he is so why trade that in to go to Cardiff. Think he lives the Windsor area.

[Hitman34]

Two reasons 73, prem league and money.

[Norths]

There's no spinning this into a positive. Absolutely shocking business by the club. Up there with the Trevor Sinclair deal.

[1973 ranger]

Then have to agree with Norths this is a terrible deal for our club.

[Leweshoop]

If true this is a disaster

[West Acton]

Think £4mil is probs about right for keeper from championship.

Thought Cardiff had decent keeper where is he off too??

[Timmy the Doc]

Oh no. One of the best keepers in the Championship. Surely worth £7-8m? Poor start for the transfer window.

Sense prevails. No way are we gonna get more than £4m.

[acricketer]

Unphooking believable. 4m? Joke.

He's got 2 years left mate.

4m quid is a little light, but if the player wants to go, what are you gonna do? Didn't have a great season last season, not compared to the year before. If there is only 1 side in for him, you get the best deal that you can and get the deal done. The plus side is I reckon we could plug a few gaps in the squad with 4m quid.
