alexf Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 every time i talk to a fan of another team they put newcastles troubles down to the fact that " people like alan smith have been really missed, if he wasnt injured u would have been much higher this season" haha if only they knew the truth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Smith is like Geremi, neither one can be played in the same team as Nicky Butt otherwise you end up with a disfunctioning midfield. It isn't Smith in particular who is the problem, all three are. The damage is limited with each less one involved. The bit in bold is all I read. The rest I took as filler.

WhatTheFunk Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 We KNOW he has the attacking instincts from his Leeds days. I just dont understand how a player's entire footballing mould just changes like that. He needs to apply himself better and he must be played up front, otherwise he's absolutely of no fucking use to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to apply himself better and he must be played up front, otherwise he's absolutely of no fucking use to us. His record at Leeds was similar to Shola's. He is, and always has been (other than a brief purple patch when he came onto the scene), utter dross imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to apply himself better and he must be played up front, otherwise he's absolutely of no f***ing use to us. Agreed. Smith is not a midfielder. He does too much pointless running around. If he concentrated on getting into goal scoring positions he might get a few goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was OK at Manu aswell until the injury. Can remember him playing really well, and scoring a really beautiful finish in that 7-0 win against Roma, or whatever it was. Now he just looks utterly woeful. He was by no means great in his earlier days, but i agree with WTF. It is pretty astonishing how an aspect of a player's game can totally evaporate, like it has with Smith. He scored for England too, don't forget (though i think it was a friendly...)

Scored a belter for England B just before we signed him as well, played up front with Owen and scored a first time 20 yarder that flew in. I think that was his last shot on target.

Guest sondre Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What the fuck was Hughton thinkin, playing him and Butt in the center?!?!?!? Smith can't tackle, can't pass, can't do shit except make free kicks!! He was lucky not to get a second yellow as well. PLEASE GET RID!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 He's come back even worse than before - may not be fit but that's even more reason not to play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 He reminds me of me when I play centre midfield in 11-a-side. Huff and puff, put a few tackles in, get amongst them, with the very occasional bit of football thrown in. Not good enough, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 He might be alright if he wasn't played in CM. I'd rather see him play CM than right wing or up front like he did for Allardyce. Just don't play him in the same team as Duff, one pillock making reckless challenges and giving the ball away is enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
