No..not *that* Smith!  Saints & Leeds in for £500,000 Derby striker? 08:17 July, 7, 2006 Tommy Smith is set to leave Derby County according to reports on Friday The 26-year-old forward has one year left on his current Pride Park deal but is reportedly not going to sign a new contract, meaning a move away in the summer is likely. Former Derby boss George Burley would be keen to bring Smith to St Mary's while Leeds United have also been credited with an interest in the ex-Watford and Sunderland man who scored 9 goals last season. |

It could also mean the back of Hulse, but if we can get 2m for him and only have to pay 500k for Smith then i'd be more than happy with that scenario.

Considering some of the names that have been flying around this summer, this isn't a bad one. However.....where would he fit in? Healy, Blake, Hulse, Cresswell.......unless KB will use him on the right hand side of midfield...but that would be Carole's position.....I hope this doesn't mean we are thinking of selling Hulse cos he is the main man.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. Hulse over Smith anyday. |

Just to put you all straight!! Besides, £500,000 wouldnt buy you his left foot!! He's worth 4-5 times that at least!
Billy hits out at 'mischief'
Billy Davies has hit out at what he describes as "mischief-making" over the future of Tommy Smith at Derby County.
A report in a national newspaper says that the Rams' player of the year is refusing to sign a new deal and this could spark a race for his signature, with Southampton and Leeds United thought to be interested.
Smith has another year to run on his current contract and the club are keen to extend the 26-year-old's deal.
Davis says he will be discussing the matter with the player.
"Since I have arrived I have spoken to Tommy on two or three occasions and I will be speaking to him again," added Davies.
"I am very, very keen to extend his contract and I want him at the club. This report is mischief-making."

well hes very quick! He would be a good player to play off someone like hulse or cresswell. he's a winger, not a striker! Plays best down the left - we have used him as a forward, but only because we had no forwards!  |
