OrangeBurn 57 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 his scoring record has been pretty poor at every club, 1.5mill?Miller was the very same and look at his the last 2 seasons, it's been, not only good, but vital.millers ratio was always better than 1 in 19Millers Ratio before signing for Rangers was 1 Goal : 3.3 gamesSince joining his ratio is 1 goal : 2.2Therefor improved by 1/3.Smiths right now is 1 Goal : 4.9 games.So if he too improved by 1/3 he would be at 1 Goal: 3.3 games.Therefor, if both players played 40 games this season for Rangers (Miller at current goal ratio and if Smith improved) :Miller - 18 GoalsSmith - 12 GoalsI hated maths, and it might be cause I'm shit at it too. millers better than smith and im not his biggest fani was hoping anyone we brought in would be better than what we have i dont think smith is any better than any of our strongest 11I'm the exact same mate. Millers performances last season were on the whole terrific. I don't think Smith is anything to be worked up by, but what i'm saying is, we shouldn't judge every ST we buy, purely based on their goals. Miller gives us so much more than goals, and Boyd only gave us goals, not a drip of sweat more. I think if Walter does sign him, he should at least give the boy a chance to prove us right/wrong.

OrangeBurn 57 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 After everything that wattie and Bain have said about buying the right players and not making the same mistakes again, but here we are going for a 30 year old for £1.5million. Utter madnessIf we had got Darcheville or Prso for 1.5 million we still wouldn't complain though. I mean we got them for free, but if we knew they would play so well for us, i'd have paid 5 million for Prso he was THAT good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Can't see the point in this transfer tbh. Far too expensive for a start.. £1.5mill for a player (usually a sub by all accounts for Portsmouth) who is out of form and pretty much failed at epl level and why the fuck are we getting held to ransom to a club that are in administration.1.5mill !!!! Ehhhh no ta, u can keep him.I'm very very 'IWWT' but this is a strange one, too much cash for not Enuf player IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Threads like the Jelavic one rarely pop up, and I'm not too sure how many threads were merged into the Tommy Smith one as I've not been on all day. Threads get merged if required, if not, then they are usually left, closed or deleted. No need to have various threads on a topic already discussed - unless the situation changes.
