Both he and Barton, individually, will be excellent in this league. Whether or not the two will work together remains to be seen... and if Smith continues to stake a claim we'd arguably be better off picking one or the other. But all in all, if we've still got the two of them as options come September, i'll be very happy. Butt and Nolan shouldn't get a look in, and if we employ a competent manager - that'll be the case. I wouldn't count on it, however.
