Whilst he appears not to be flavour of the month at Ipswich, think at his age and with his history, he wouldn't have an issue picking up another championship gig.
No way he is going to reunite with our Anthony
You were saying
I am rarely wrong when it comes to logic but on this occasion I was indeed incorrect.
Notice however you didn't question it at the time of the post.
I do however think there is a more to this then meets the eye.
Unless you are an ex premier league star, you don't drop from the championship, which is the fifth highest paying league in the world to the MLS for wages and my experience smith always looks after number one,
I would hazard a guess, that Smith is in fact crooked and will figure little in his first year and this is the reason for his move.
American sports are big on medicals & fitness - so doubt a crocked Smith would be signed up.
Money ain't everything. Maybe Colorado have also secured some extra cash/opportunities off the pitch, for him. Like taking his football academy stateside??
Could be a whole myriad of reasons, why he has reunited with Hudson.
Stale after 13 years at Ipswich (signed as 14 yr old). It's unusual now to spend that much time at one club. I'm be bored if I ever lasted that time at one job.
MLS has less games (and virtually no mid week games) so less taxing on his injury prone body. He can now have a proper pre season, with league still few months away from starting. He would have had a limited pre season with Ipswich last year - due to Confeds Cup involvement.
Like a lot of other AWs he actually enjoys & rates Hudson as a coach. Sure Hudson shamed him (and rightly) and dropped him for Nth American tour, when he made himself unavailable for PNG, but Smith reached out, apologised and after that was an AWs regular.
And just the challenge of having to prove himself from scratch at a new club & in a new league.
