Report: Alan Smith to leave NUFC in January?

[Superior Acuña]

Disagree tbh. Obviously not that gifted but given our squad size, def keep. He had a couple of decent games this season before Tiote came in (who's obviously better) and was no worse than everyone but Carroll today.

[Crumpy Gunt]

I think its time Ashley either paid up his contract or just sent the useless cunt out on loan.

 

He has absolutely nothing in the locker to bring anything positive to the team. Ashley fucked up sanctioning this deal - he should do the decent thing. If Smith was a dog he'd be getting the needle.

Most decent post you've made on here

This post, so much win

If people could go back 24 hours, would people still turn their noses up at Coloccini in midfield and Campbell/Taylor at the back.

[Guest Heneage]

Nope I'd have played all 3 allowing us to double up on Elmander or Davies.

[Optimistic Nut]

Thing is we're not good enough to simply keep partnerships together and stick with it, look at Sunderland up here. Think you should pick your best eleven available to you to get a result for a particular game. People were slating others for suggesting we'd be better with Colo in midfield than Smith. Now it might have turned out that he might have still had a shocker, but fucking hell it'd have been better than Smith or Guthrie there.

There was not a single moment in the match when I registered that Smith was involved. A disgusting effort.

Not even during his CRUNCHING tackles that show how much heart and passion he has? STEEL in the midfield?

[Incognito]

I think the best answer is to put a contract on him.Cheaper than his weekly salary too.

Back in the starting eleven for City, possibly.

I'll be gutted if that is right.

PARDEW OUT!

Smith and Tiote against Mancini's City - DEFENSIVEMIDFIELDERFEST.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

Don't see what's to lose going 4-4-2.

[Skeletor]

No surprise. He's Pardew's type of player after all.

People said similar about Hughton

[Mick]

Play Smith and we give Man city 1/2 to 2/3 of the pitch to pass us out of the game because we'll only have Carroll to get in the way.

[NEEJ]

Alan Smith, he can pop up anywhere.

[Rob W]

I wish he'd pop up in Teeside or soemwhere else............

[wormy]

Alan Smith, he can pop up anywhere.

 

[Guest neesy111]

Was going to go to city game, but if smith plays doubtful.

[thomas]

What is this speculation based on?  Every player is potentially in the starting XI.

[thomas]

Nicky Butt potentially flys back from korea and starts on sunday!

 

FUCK THIS PARDEW OUT!

Comments from Pardew about Nolan playing off Carroll. I would hope if that is the case then Barton moves central and Routledge comes in.
