Bringing in a chap to a league two team who played almost every game in the championship last season AND was captain of that team is impressive.
Just goes to show that some players relish a bit of a challenge and want to prove themselves one more time rather than having an easier payday.London BCFC, Damo, Minsterbantam and 19 others like this. -
Midfielders like Pogba, Eriksen and Fernandinho available for free yet we sign this guy?

We have needed a player like Smallwood for years. Very pleased with this signing

Smallwood spent the majority of his career in the championship. Was captain for Championship outfit Hull last season. Watt has barely gotten out of 3rd gear in League 2
Paudie’s Replacement is still up for debate. But seeing as Platt has come in as well an finally replaced Canavan from 6 months ago, I’d say the defence is stronger as well
Walker is a massive upgrade on Cooke
Harratt & Young are better options than Elliot, Delfonseo, Lavery & Robinson combined

Like to see the doom merchants try and spin this one out
42 games last season in the championship and he’s come here this ain’t no but part dummy this is a statement of where the club is aiming to goDoodle, banbrotam, ModernBantam and 13 others like this. -
Great news! Two year contract with the option of a third. That's a serious statement of intent.

Credit To Sparks an Rupp. The signings of Chapman, Walker & Smallwood were not cheap by any means. Can’t say Hughes hasn’t been backed

Seems that the Smallwood/ Steven Gent link goes back through the families. Looks like Gents influence had a major say in Smallwood coming to Valley Parade. -

This a coup for us without a doubt. I understand we have beaten off some strong competition for his signing.
Well done to all concerned in managing to tempt him here.
Thanks to Rupp for backing them, because Smallwood won't be cheap.
Great signing, captain in waiting surely?Lancashire Bantam, meelin, Bantam Begins and 8 others like this. -

Very popular signing and a leader that's been long overdue in my opinion.
Take the armband and do what you do best.

If Sparky can make a silk purse out of last seasons sows ears, imagine what he can do with this exciting squad. Roll on 1st game of the season.

I hadn't realised that Smallwood had been offered another 12 month contract at Hull, but turned it down as he wanted longer.
If that's true, it's an even more amazing coup that we have landed him1975citygent, Doodle, meelin and 7 others like this. -

I want to like him but it's impossible to when he acts like a baby every game. He acts like he's doing us a favour when in fact, his legs have gone and he's no longer at the level required. Hughes can get some credit back by benching him

Plenty of attacking options, not satisfied with our defence yet, but a) there's time to improve it and b) If we're controlling games, the defence becomes less of an issue anyway.
This won't have come cheap.Doodle, Allotment Bantam, Onside and 6 others like this.
