another number Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Says in the sun today we're looking at this keeper. Apparently Hibs are interested too. I take it he was the 3rd keeper out at the warm up last night? Anyone know anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StAndrew7 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Looking at that... he looks fairly decent, although they always do in videos like that. Definitely wasn't him warming up last night though - think that was Coutts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 looks cracking from the video, but thats the whole point of the video and it doesnt tell the whole story. Still, at least we still looking at guys,but does anyone else get the feeling this guy will be cracking and when we try to sign him,he asks for 5-10k pw like a lot of mcghees targets?

El Grew Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Aye, looks fine enough BUT then so is Smith at shot-stopping. How is he at dealing with cross balls. The video didn't show any. And we need a keeper who can and will dominate in and around the 6-yard box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sieb Dykstra still looked good recently............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm going to make a bold statement and say that Graeme Smith has been our best player this season. He has looked far more assured than last year, and has barely poot a foot wrong in comparison to many of our other players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMFC Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 On the few times I've seen Buzz play this season, he's looked solid. Made a couple good saves the other night against Killie, and his performance in Nancy was class! Cue a howler against Accies now that I've said that!

He has looked far more assured than last year, and has barely poot a foot wrong in comparison to many of our other players! I tend to agree with you there mate. He's been a lot less indecisive and for the most part has organised his defence well. One or two dodgy moments but no more so than any other keeper.

DC'd Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 So is every club! Have you seen Real Madrid's Iker Casillas recently Yeah, MotM in El Grande Classico.. Ohhh your talking about his form preceding that game, then yes a tad shaky.. But "form is temporary, class is permanent" - and Casillas proved that with a fantastic display at the Nou Camp.. Now comparing Smith to Casillas, a tad farfetched.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Casillas is known for his shot stopping abilities not his ability to command his box. He has no command, and very much a bombscare dealing with crosses. The fact he has better reflexes than a cat makes him, imho the best keeper in the world!

buddy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 with his performances this season youd think smith was nearly out of contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyDefault Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 with his performances this season youd think smith was nearly out of contract I wonder if Dung-dee Utd will go for him with their guy signing a pre-contract for Smelltic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC'd Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I wonder if Dung-dee Utd will go for him with their guy signing a pre-contract for Smelltic Think they may be looking seriously at Szamatulski - the 'keeper they had last season before departing and subsequently getting released at PNE. Apparently, according to the BBC Hibs have 48hrs to make a decision on signing him, but got the feeling Utd may nip in and steal him back to Tannadice.

Gaag Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I agree, smith has been much, much better this season! He's certainly seemed to have gotten his banana kicks sorted! Although how come this always happens when a players contract is expiring? Coincidence? Are we re-signing Kevin McBride in the transfer window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Football Club Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 As long as we have an actual sub keeper Im all for the guy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we re-signing Kevin McBride in the transfer window I liked McBride - I thought he was one of the few who looked as if he actually gave a f*** in the last few games of the Malpas era. A bit injury prone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit injury prone though. In his first season he was a class apart. Rated the second best midfielder in the panini sticker book lol.
