narduch Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Ligue 2 starts July 30. That would give Smith about a month to impress for a September senior call up. canuckgbp, Approve My Account Pls, Corazon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think this takes him out of the NT picture for Qatar. Mind you, I never thought a guy playing in 2nd tier Netherlands should have been part of the mix for the NT either. Unless we have some injuries. Or some players have moved out of the picture (I have some doubts about the Cornelius-Herdman relationship). Another possibility is that somehow he really stands out, which I doubt he will, unless the team somehow does extremely well too. But it is good for his development, he will definitely grow, and if Nice are happy and find a place for him on the 1st team next season, it'll have been well worth it. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 23-man roster I would tend to agree but with a 26-man roster, I'm not so sure. He can play CB as well as CDM so he offers that flexibility. Who do you bring in if Piette or Hutchinson are injured? Herdman has relied upon Liam Fraser who is in 2nd division Belgium. If he truly plays to what we all believe his potential is, then simply the fact that he is in Ligue 2 is not enough to disqualify him from a possible call-up. EDIT: Just to be clear, he is on loan for one year with no purchase option. https://www.ogcnice.com/fr/article/121736/justin-smith-prete-a-qrm.html https://qrm.fr/justin-smith-prete-par-logc-nice-l1/ Edited July 1, 2022 by Olympique_de_Marseille The Real Marc, Unnamed Trialist, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just basing it on the club. They are modest and will likely be mid-table at best. He won't have it easy to show well, or stand out. It is a bit like Kennedy in B2, it is not clear he is doing great for the club (though he seemed to be early last season, then got injured), but we brought him in regardless. Ligue 2 is a step down though. But I think he'll develop marvellously well, for him it is a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frmr Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Smith is my dark horse for Qatar. Of all the young players who are on the fringe, I have the highest hopes for him. He already looks like he’s going to be a top player. costarg, dyslexic nam, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Of the next generation (setting aside the fact that he isn’t that much younger than some of our first-teamers), he is the one who looks most like a sure bet to “make it”. There is no way he doesn’t become a big part of the CMNT going forward IMO. PiedPilko, johnyb, canuckgbp and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It's funny because a lot of us were having him shoed-in a CB...but he's clearly a box to box midfielder. Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
