Cardiff aim to wrap up Smith Deal
Wed Aug 22, 2012 10:59 am
Cardiff City are today hoping to finally clinch the signing of Tommy Smith.
West London Sport revealed earlier this month that Bluebirds boss Malky Mackay was hoping to capture Smith, 32, as well as Heidar Helguson from QPR.
Helguson recently agreed a move to the Championship club, who have also completed the signing of defender Matt Connolly from the R’s.
Now Mackay is trying to persuade Smith to make the move to Wales. The pair know each other well from their time together at Watford.
QPR boss Mark Hughes confirmed this week that an offer for Smith from Cardiff had been accepted, but that the deal “hasn’t really progressed” as the player considered his options.
But there appeared to be some progress on Tuesday, with Smith’s future looking likely to be decided shortly.
A number of other clubs have expressed an interest in the player, who moved to Loftus Road from Portsmouth in 2010 and whose career has included two spells at Watford.

lots of qpr fans are saying that smith has a really good football brain.
Would he be a squad player or first team?
where would malky play him?
any thoughts?

I dont think he will be the finishing touch that we need,
He (malky) cannot expect to win games and score goals playing helguson up front on his own and then bring on mason who yes is good. but he isn't going to set alight a promotion push campaign.
again with tommy smith, I dont see goals, and none of our strikers are going to flourish under his inteligent and creative play
We need a star

My gut instinct is the fans don't want him but he will become a fans fav.
Kim, bellers, smith all to play inside wide in a 4-5-1
