Was told today about brayford and mackie joining within days .
I was also told malkey has made a firm enquiry about chris smalling from Manchester United on loan .
The first info looks bang on so I have no reason to doubt this !

Heard naff all about Mackie.

Smalling would be a superb signing. Can't see that one happening though.

Would be similar to Caulker when he joined Swansea on loan

Injury prone though

Although he plays for Man Utd, I'm not convinced Smalling would be an upgrade on what we have already.

I'm pretty sure they need him at OldvTrafford with the fitness record of their other centre halves.

Suppose you're right there.

I'd still have him here. I've always rated him to be fair.

I doubt we'd get him. But I'd like him here, better than Turner and Hudson.

Not an upgrade? Hudson and Turner are great championship defenders but to say Smalling isnt an upgrade is absurd.

Some of our fans amaze me if he's good enough for united and fergie he's certainly good enough for us

Can't see Man Utd letting Smalling out, but if they did and he came here would be a brilliant signing and he would walk into our side

Smalling, has a few caps behind himself, could say he's a fringe international for England, is not an upgrade on Ben 'Get out muscled by Josh King' Turner and well Hudson, he's decent, so can't say anything bad about Huds but Smalling would be an improvement for sure!

They have Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Carrick(Can play there) Varela, Wooton,Keane and Jones

Smalling would be good capture on a loan but I can't see it happening unfortulently.

Re: Chris smalling on loan

Thu Jul 25, 2013 6:21 pm

Would love to have Smalling here. Quality defender if he keeps his fitness up.

Can't see it happening, though!

Chris Smalling on loan would be exciting....

Smalling be a great signing on loan.

Why would a guy who plays for the biggest club in the world and is an England international go to a neely promoted club on loan? Why oh why? Ffs get real. And as for notnan upgrade on what you have, please think before you type as that sort of horse shit is simply bonkers.
It's nothing lile the caulker deal as he had never played pl football with spurs and was only 19.

Calm down people! I just don't rate Smalling, OK?

It's just my opinion. I'm entitled to it.

Well said mate. "prone to errors", "injury prone", "not an upgrade"...most the comments regarding any new player linked are totally absurd.

United just kicked off in a friendly in Japan, smalling in starting 11

Re: Chris smalling on loan

Would be a fantastic signing, but i fear, as mentioned previously, that United's defence is injury prone, so a non-starter really. Unless United are about to buy another CB?

Malky knows Moyes quite well, fingers crossed.
