1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Smith was on about £500 a week at the mutton botherers according to Kenny Shiels on the radio commentry of a game so if we are paying him anywhere near that it is a disgrace and i expect it to be less than a grand.If he is as much of a mick as he seems to be no way would he have joined us for a grand a week imo.Id rather Smith as Robertson wouldnt get the time to develop here though he has raw potential and should turn out better but he.wouldnt dislodge Wallace so bring in someone experienced cheap and who will do a job in a few positions and make do for me.Find it nuts you'd prefer Smith over Robertson lol each to their own then Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,696 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Find it nuts you'd prefer Smith over Robertson lol each to their own thenWith us Robertson would never reach his undoubted potential as he wouldnt play first team football he would be a sub at best loaned out for a bit then released and go and have a good career else where.Ability wise he has something potentially special and if it was for a first choice left back no question it would be young Robertson id pick but for back up it may as well be Smith save Robertson's career being fucked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,696 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Robertson at QP was better than Smith will ever be again.Agreed but he is nowhere near as good as Wallace and wont get better sitting on the bench we would waste his time with us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 In fact I have something similar with my middle name, which is commonly thought to be Irish.I can go one better. My mum's family are rc Celtic fans descended from Irish immigrants. Although I've no been stuck with any really dodgy names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger players must be able to slot in if the 'primary' player is out injured/suspended. Only way to achieve that is to ensure the younger players are given 'playing time'.

scarkev 3,540 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ok even if Robertson would have been a non-starter it doesn't take away from the fact our signing policy and approach has been far to short term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wawrinka 88 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If we'd signed him, he'd have played about 6 times and would be nowhere near the Scotland teamSometimes you just need to accept that even though a player is good, we simply don't need them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
