Smalling
I'm never one to write someone off before they've even played but what is this signing about?
He looks very average every time I've seen him play and he reportedly cost around £10m......I hope hes getting his shit games out of the way for Fulham and is full steam ahead come July 1st |

In fairness, the montage of Smalling's own goals is pretty spectacular. Out of the context, they could easily be goals for Fulham. |

By all accounts he hasn't been playing well, but I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.....for now wait till he's had a bad game in a United shirt. I'll give him hell |

Don't know much about the lad, but from what I can gather his name may well be an americanised spelling of Schmaling, a Nth German derivitive of Schmal.
It is thought that schmal, or smal, is a nickname given to someone of slight build back in Middle High German times (or perhaps Middle Low), putting it at somewhere between about 1050 and 1500. Given the political influence of the Nth German region on the scandanavian royal houses during this period it is possible that Smalling is actually of Swedish or even Danish descent, and may find relatives in the area dating back as far as Old Saxon times. |
