Rumour up here that he's on his way to the Toon with Alan Smith going the other way.

 

Thoughts?

if it involves Alan Smith going the other way then are my thoughts

[FrenchWilliam]

Do we need him? Maybe if Taylor goes I guess.

Won't happen.

[David28]

Not too sure about it, after having seen Smith playing very well against Villa and not too bad against Man Utd.

 

Could be that Tiote will replace Smith and Bougherra will be the replacement for Taylor.

 

Allthough, I'll be happy about the transfer if it's Hughton's decision.

[Guest secteur2010]

Bougherra is fucking awful IMO

[mrmojorisin75]

rangers would surely never be able to pay Smith as much as he's on with us

[Skirge]

Kna not going to happen.. Smith is staying put

[Guest Roger Kint]

Thoughts?

 

 

Never happen though sadly, dubious at any Rangers defenders since Boum and we arent lucky enough to get rid of Smith

[David28]

Bougherra is fucking awful IMO

 

Another reason why I wouldn't be that happy with that transfer.

[MidfieldGeneral]

Ironically one of my mates is a rangers supporter and he told me yesterday that he'd heard they were taking smith and we were getting miller in return.

[simmsy10]

Would love him here as he can cover right back as well. He sort of plays there for Algeria! Not a bad player but as for Smith going to Rangers? He's a massive fan but Rangers could never afford the wages.

[gdm]

Bougherra is far from awful

[mofo]

Bougherra is fucking awful IMO

 

No he's not..

[colinmk]

Very good player from what I have seen, would be good business if we could swap Smith but why do we need another central defender? Smells like bullshit.

[LucaAltieri]

No thanks.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

I'm only going on the interviews Smudger gave last year, but after his injury he seems to just want to play football and accepts that his days at the top are gone. If Hughts as told him that he isn't a guaranteed starter then he may be willing to drop his wages to get on the pitch.

 

He seems a sensible sort of bloke, had a couple of decent signing on fees and good wages for a while, he may well be at the place in his life where the money isn't as important anymore

[mrmojorisin75]

he may well be at the place in his life where the money isn't as important anymore

Smith would treble in my estimation if that were the case.

[relámpago blanco]

I would take this.

[SUPERTOON]

Yes please.

[gdm]

coz Taylor is on his way and Campbell is short term

[NG32]

Only way with this would be if we pay some of his wages while he is at Rangers.  No way would rangers pay a possible 60k a week wage.

 

We pay half and rangers pay half.

[SUPERTOON]

Rumour up here that he's on his way to the Toon with Alan Smith going the other way.

 

Thoughts?

 

Where exactly is this rumoured btw?

[papo]

this would be a perfect transfer after we sign Tiote and sell Taylor...

[Guest guinness_fiend]

I'd rather keep Smith.  We might need a player with a bit of grit and determination come March-May.  His experience could be invaluable.
