Glasgow Rangers to sign Tommy Smith - Updated Title

[Frode]

As a young child Smith played as a central midfielder, before converting to a striker at age 12. [4] At 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m), Smith is shorter than the average Premier League footballer. [38] He is a quick player capable of kicking the ball with his weaker left foot, [39] and prefers being part of a team that plays passing football, than one that employs a more direct style. [40] Upon signing him for Portsmouth, then-manager Paul Hart said of Smith:

I’ve liked Tommy for a long time. He’s clever, infectious, enthusiastic and a hard worker. He can play as a centre-forward, behind the centre-forward or out wide, so covers a lot of positions. He’s going to be a great asset to us

agreed, good player at this level - hope he signs

Aah, the tough tackling Tommy Smith? We'll be signing Emlyn Hughes next. (One for the dad's). I like to do my bit for Help The Aged.

what about varney? :-0

V good signing and fans seem to like him wherever he has played, him cutting in from the right, tabs out left and Buz in the middle behind the striker - er, whoever he might be...

Tommy Smith would be a very good addition...

Alot of other championship clubs would love to have him on there books.

[stainrodisalegend]

agreed rangered, v much. i just hope this is in addition to a decent out and out striker rather than instead of. Him and Chops and we suddenly look promotion class. Him and no one or him and Varney (amounts to much the same thing) and I can't see us doing much this year.

[Goddard]

He is a very decent player at this level... not THE answer to our striker needs, but would improve our team a fair bit.

Looks like he might be going to rangers instead...
