We have made an offer for Linfield forward Paul Smyth apparently. 19 years old. Anyone know anything about him? |  |

QPR should play this ultra, ultra low key. The temptation will be to try and hold him up to the baying morons on Twitter and shout "look see we are signing players, we are scouting, this guy's great" but it just adds pressure. Treat it like the Chair signing, which none of us really knew had even happened. |
 No chance, if he isn't the next George Best after 25 minutes, sell him. Look at poor old Ryan Manning. Football fans  |  | | |

I think the fans have been very fair to Manning. It wasn't just Reading that were interested in Smyth. Earlier this year Everton and Sunderland were expected to sign him. |  | | |

Fingers crossed he doesn't come up against Bradley Johnson when we play Derby then, as that'll be a red. |
At least he won't be playing in front of Perch for a bit  | | | |

Thanks for that Andy.
What's his character like - is he popular with fans and other players, good professional, hard trainer etc.? |
He's adored at Windsor Park, small in height but has a big heart and a big set of balls. He's not easily bullied and as previously mentioned picks up the odd yellow for not being afraid to stand up for himself.
It should also be noted that he traveled to France with the Northern Ireland squad to last seasons European Championships to take part in the training, so he's highly thought of at that level.
I'm sad to see him go, but delighted he's got a chance at full time football in England. | | | |

He was only with our first team for just over a year. And every time he got the ball, you were just waiting for him to do something exciting. A definite fan favourite, who is a hard worker, and if you listen/read any of his interviews, he is extremely humble off the pitch.
I obviously can't speak for what he is like in training, but he had the chance to go over with Northern Ireland to the Euro's last year and be a part of their "training squad". From what I have heard/read, he impressed Michael O'Neill from what he saw. I really hope this move works out for him and the next time I see him play 'live' is in a Northern Ireland shirt!
