Skeletor Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 alan smith will go down as the worst signing this club has made, even maric, guivarch, paul dalglish, paul robinson scored for the club performance-wise, i'd say it was Albert Luque as the worst signing. Albert Luque scored against the Mackems. Smith can't even do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Luque scored against the Mackems. Smith can't even do that. Smith did not play as a striker for much of the season. He was used in midfield. I think Smith has a lot more potential, though I agree his stats are appalling. We should be seeing Smith used in a Striker role, upfront with Owen/Martins.

S.S.R. Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Unfair to compare Smith to Luque. Yes, he's been shite, but at least he's tried. Luque just took the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If we can't sell him we should do a Ljungberg on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If we can't sell him we should do a Ljungberg on him. Get Steven Taylor to stamp on him? Do you think if we offered Smith £3 million to go away, Spurs would predictably try to outbid us and offer £4 million to not have him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thinking about his moronic tackle at Wigan on Boxing Day still winds me up. Thick as fucking shit. Bet Smith's played comfortably more games up front than Luque did btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmsy10 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 8 yellow, 1 red for smithy, would have reduced our total to 37, putting us 3rd behind Everton and Liverpool f**k me HE DID COST US EUROPE Plus Butts 14 yellows.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sheds Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Butt has got more though, hasn't he? I dislike Smith as much as anyone, but why blame it on him when we've got someone who is worse in this aspect? But has 12 yellows (12 points, same as smith, just took him 9 extra games to get there) but unlike the bottle blond Sir Nicholas has actually scored. Thrice! Perhaps the answer is NOT to buy anymore Man U cast offs. They almost always turn out to be a big disappointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJbarnes Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 bbc sport: "Uefa Fair Play League: In order to be eligible for one of the three places available via the Fair Play League, an association must score an average of over eight. The top association gets a Uefa Cup place, while all other associations with an average of over eight (there are currently eight) are placed into a ballot. England are guaranteed an extra place after topping the Fair Play League, and it will be given to the team placed highest in the Premier League Fair Play League that has not qualified by other means. At the moment, Manchester City are in the driving seat." looking at the fair play table, we are 14th with a points score of 8.01 so depending on how we go at everton, we would go into a ballot.

You have misunderstood. An association is a league not a club. Other leagues with an average over 8 will go into the ballot, individual clubs will not.
