Yorkie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I reckon we could get about £13/14m for Smith, Duff and Milner in today's market. 10M for milner?? £4m for Duff, £4m for Smith, £6m for Milner. Or something like that. If we can get £4m for Shola ffs, we can get it for them. Today's market in this country is mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunedin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 As well as being utterly useless it was Smith who was marking Ballack when he scored the first goal. Should not be allowed near SJP or the training ground again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 totally agree on smith yesterday, him coming on probably made us play 10% worse as a team as a whole can't hold the ball up, drift's into any position he likes even though viduka is a lazy git, u need a target man up front who can hold the ball up and bring others into play which he does at times excellent these are my candidates to go next season: given (cash in on him now, we have got too many keepers) rozehnal, cacapa and carr (should get around 3 million for rozehnal) geremi, butt, n'zogbia, duff (geremi can't take a set-piece, butt hasn't got the legs, charlie's attitude fucking stinks, and duff is crap) ameobi, smith (ameobi 4 million daylight robbery, smith hopefully will be going for exchange for the rangers defender) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 tbh I think Smith is a bigger flop than Luque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 As soon as he came on I said to my mate "game over now". He's utter tripe. His two piss-poor clearances actually led to the second goal as well. I don't know how many times I've aired my view on just how utterly useless this pillock is. He can't tackle without fouling, can't shoot without missing, and can't pass without giving away. He's supposedly a good header of the ball but I think he beat Terry once. The gap between him and Viduka that was demonstrated yesterday is immense, and I think it's absolutely no coincidence how much weaker we looked when the changed was made. Duff is also toss for what it's worth, disgrace that he came on at LW and Zoggy was stuck in at LB. I think Duff will be off, but I don't see Smith leaving as he's happy here and Keegan seems to like him. Roll on more of those performances next year Alan.

Mowen Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 As well as being utterly useless it was Smith who was marking Ballack when he scored the first goal. Should not be allowed near SJP or the training ground again. Smith wasn't marking him. Ballack was stoon next to Butt, he walked backwards and Butt stood still. Smith realised, too late, and made a desperate attempt to cut out Ballack's header but he was too late. He's a shit player, but that doesn't mean everything's his fault.

Swissmag Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Shola hasn't gone yet. I know. Thats why I mentioned him after Carr and Rammy... BTW: There isn't much difference between Shameobi and Shitty, tbh. :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I wonder is Stoke would like to buy a lad who has played for England this year & is an x-Man Utd striker & if there rates for Shola are anything to go by god knows how much we would get for Smudger (what an awful nickname).

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 At least we now know why Mike Ashley used to have "17 Smith" on his shirt. In that story about Ashley winning £1 Million on the roulette wheel it mentioned that Mike considers his lucky number to be 17. Not in the case of buying Alan Smith it wasn't Mike!

toontownman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 SAVIOUR!! http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/45442/Al-be-your-shooting-star-Kev/ AL BE YOUR SHOOTING STAR, KEV ABOVE: Alan Smith 28th July 2008 By Jeremy Cross ALAN SMITH wants a regular striking role at Newcastle and the chance to show Kevin Keegan there can be life without Michael Owen and Mark Viduka. The England star failed to shine in a makeshift attack alongside Shola Ameobi as a depleted Toon side crashed to a 1-0 defeat to Championship newcomers Doncaster courtesy of Stuart Elliott’s 86th-minute goal. Smith was turned into a midfielder during his time at Manchester United and spent most of his first season at St James’s Park in a similar role following his £6m switch from Old Trafford last August. He failed to score a single goal last season, but insists he hasn’t forgotten how to find the back of net – providing Keegan gives him the chance to do so. With both Viduka and Owen battling to be fit for the new campaign and Obafemi Martins back in Nigeria mourning the death of his mother, Smith might get his wish. The ex-Leeds star said: “When I was playing for Manchester United, before I broke my leg, I was playing in central midfield. “I then missed 18 months with my injury and when Sam (Allardyce) brought me to Newcastle, he played me all over. That never really helps you. “It doesn’t allow you to become consistent and it doesn’t really allow you to become settled. “The gaffer knows where he wants to play me and if he’s going to play me up there, I’m going to have to start scoring goals. I’m going to have to start playing as a centre-forward, like I did when I was at Leeds and like I did when I first went to United. I know I can do that. “I’d enjoy an extended run at centre-forward and I think everyone knows that’s probably my best position. “It’s what’s natural to me, but if I’m going to play there and stay in the team, I’m going to have to score goals.” Keegan vowed to make some new signings in the wake of this defeat and Smith admits the pressure is on their threadbare squad to finish in the top half of the table this season. He added: “We had a lot of players missing, but hopefully they will be fit for the start of the season. “Realistically, for this football club, the top half of the table is a must. “When you look around the dressing-room, the quality is there, but football now is more and more of a squad game.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty when I said "I can't read the whole of that article", I meant I got no further than the first sentence (ending in Viduka). And even that was a mission.

Makes sense Does he NEED to do interviews, like? With the Daily Star? I would assume the journalist rang him or his agent up and asked if he could do an interview. Smith, not being busy with scoring goals, says "sure I'll do the interview", goes off and says that if he is to play up front, he must score goals. What a horrible little twat he is.

Dave Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The gaffer knows where he wants to play me and if he’s going to play me up there, I’m going to have to start scoring goals. NO SHIT. I’m going to have to start playing as a centre-forward, like I did when I was at Leeds and like I did when I first went to United. I know I can do that. SO WHEN YOU WERE PLAYING AS A CENTRE-FORWARD AT THE WEEKEND, WHAT WERE YOU REALLY PLAYING AS? I’d enjoy an extended run at centre-forward and I think everyone knows that’s probably my best position. THAT'S YOUR BEST? FUCKING HELL. It’s what’s natural to me, but if I’m going to play there and stay in the team, I’m going to have to score goals. SEE POINT ONE.
