After having let so many players leave this summer, it was almost puzzling that our Russian midfielder, Andrei Smertin, was kept on.
I don’t mean to be rude to the guy or anything but after having played what could be considered less than a bit part last season, I couldn’t see where he’d fit into Roy Hodgson’s side this season.
Therefore, I can’t say I’m surprised to read in The Sun this morning that the Russian has, supposedly, been told he can leave on a free transfer!
