Smith bid accepted

Thu, 02 Jul 22:52:04 2009

Watford have accepted a bid of £1.8million for striker Tommy Smith.

The Coca-Cola Championship club have not revealed the identity of the 29-year-old's suitors after they made their move on Thursday.

Smith, the Hornets' player of the year who scored 17 times last season, will now be allowed to talk to the bidding club.

Thursday's developments follow a period of intense speculation over the future of the former Derby frontman.

Watford chairman Jimmy Russo told www.watfordfc.com: "We've received a new bid for Tommy and we will allow him to speak to the club in question.

"This is a new club that has expressed a desire to sign Tommy."

  3. If we let Tommy leave for a paltry 1.8 million, then­ its tantamount to saying that we are a club with no­ ambition, no future and no hope. 48 years a supporter­ and its back to 1960's "sell to survive and to­ hell with the dream" mentality!

  6. Why because they buy Watford players mostly? I think if­ Watford have any ambition then holding onto players­ like Tommy should be a priority.
