Whether this is a good deal depends entirely on what we paid for her. If it was some minimal amount, then it's definitely a good deal. If we had to pay out a bunch of our funds from the Yazmeen Ryan trade, it's not a good deal. We should be saving that for (a) keeping Smith for the long run, (b) keeping Smith for the long run, (c) keeping Smith for the long run, and (d) acquiring a really good player in a position of need (backup winger is one of these), preferably one who will be here during the World Cup.

It’s a short term loan. I doubt there even is an associated loan fee, but it would be minimal if there is one. Wages are also separate from transfer funds, fwiw.

Probably just her salary while she plays for the Thorns.
