Froggy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This when they threw rocks at the ambulance? Yeah. They also sang, "Hey Riise, I wanna know, how you broke his leg," while he was lying in agony on the pitch. Horrid cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ridiculous how Fergie always seem to sell us damaged goods. Smith, Butt, Obertan. We have been royally screwed on so many occasions. I can't believe you took Obertan man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ridiculous how Fergie always seem to sell us damaged goods. Smith, Butt, Obertan. We have been royally screwed on so many occasions. How many times has Fergie sold a player that didnt want to leave and he's gone on to do better? Stam and Forlan, probably a few more but not that many considering the length of his reign. Recently he's used Sunderland as his dumping ground, I'd never buy a player from Manu again, if he tried to sell me Rooney I'd wonder if I was being done over.

Yorkie Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Does Smith even get in the MK Dons team? £60k a week for a player who was completely and utterly finished. Fucking despicable signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Does Smith even get in the MK Dons team? 36 games so far. More red cards (2) than goals (1). Hilarious they play(ed) him as a number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Works out at around £21,000,000 total cost. I think it was a bigger waste of money than Owen, at least he got us goals and we got near enough £11m or something back off the FA for his injury. Smith offered nothing for the entire time he was here, in fact he mainly gave away freekicks leading to goals at an alarming rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said stam was his biggest transfer mistake (out goings) I've no doubt it was, he was a beast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Pogba is going to be a huge mistake. Especially when you look at their current central midfield options. He's already better than Cleverley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I can remember the day it happened too. Scousers gloating that it was Riise's power that broke his leg. Classy. Actually, they applauded him when he was stretched off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 He only wanted to leave though because of the way Ferguson was towards him. He'd agreed terms with juve a year and a half before his contract expired. Two sides, depends which one you believe, no concrete proof either way just speculation.

Interpolic Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 His career was ruined more by injury than anything else. 100 percent. He was largely awful after he came back from that and a canny player beforehand, although not a worldbeater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 In the spirit of truth and justice that has enveloped Liverpool and Manchester United in recent days, Alan Smith insists no-one rocked his ambulance at Anfield as it tried to take him to hospital in 2006. 'Everyone at Liverpool did as much for me as any club possibly could,' said Smith. 'I was disappointed the story blew up about rocking an ambulance. That was never the case. Liverpool and Man United did everything to get me to the hospital and everything in their power to make sure I was OK. 'I thank them for that. Sometimes it's nice to say that because people have read that they were rocking my ambulance and throwing stuff at it, which is so untrue.'

Tooj Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 IMO especially towards the end of his tenure with us Smith was the ultimate fraud whilst out on the pitch. For somebody that came with a reputation of giving it his all he was a coward on the pitch as he shied away from all responsibility and when he was playing in midfield all he done was stand on the toes of our central defenders and didn't look interested in receiving the ball (which is key for that position) and whenever he got it he just looked to pass it sideways or backwards. He never showed that work-rate that he was "famed" for either. People thought that he was good when we were in the Championship for the first couple of months but he wasn't. He did exactly that yet seemed to gain favour from the crowd for putting his foot in and making a slide tackle that more often than not came about because of his poor first touch.
