jdckelly Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 @MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Interesting story but sorry #lufc - #nufc will not sell Alan Smith... Why the hell not? asking him that now, apparently they just don't want to......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Talking bollocks IMO. If he's not starting, then his wages are too big to be a backup. We'd get rid if a decent offer came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 He's an integral part of our team. He can pop up anywhere. Seriously though, that Mark Douglas is talking shite surely. Why would we not want to get rid of him? He's just one of those players we've not been able to shift 'cause no one's too stupid to pay through the nose for such an average player. If we can somehow pawn him off to someone, we'll do it, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Average is being kind. He's one of the worst footballer i've ever seen at NUFC in 18 years as a fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Okay then, average for the Championship? Yeah I know, still being kind. Conference North average? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Some of that Conference North lot can pick a pass every so often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can somehow pawn him off to someone, we'll do it, surely? Of course we will. There's no way Pardew can justify having a player on his wages* who is not starting every week. We can get 2 decent backup players for 60k a week, and Ashley will know it. *speculating, but howay he'll be on silly money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Smith showed last year that he isn't good enough even for the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 60k. Still can't believe that if it's true. Considering the rumoured amounts of others, I can highly believe it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 so if mark douglas is right this could be the first time where we disagree with ashley over not selling a player............... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think Ashley would be delighted to see the back of Smith. A player reported on colossal wages, having literally no contribution from an actual footballing point of view. He'd be as glad to see the back of the shit bastard as we would be.

Guest Heneage Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Wasn't Smith the first name Ashley got on his shirt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Wasn't Smith the first name Ashley got on his shirt? Oh yeah. Ashley doesn't want to waste his money on another shirt. Bound to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, would that not suggest he thinks quite highly of Mr Smith, in which case doesn't want to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If he thought that highly of Smith, he'd be leaning on Pardew to play him more. *insert joke about Ashley being fat and leaning on Pardew and suffocating/killing him* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 maybe ashley just likes having smith around to torture us with ma: yes i could use those wages for a decent player but instead i'll have this lump of crap there to laugh at all you geordies!

That was 2 years ago now. Probably just got it as he was in that period of 'being a fan' so wanted to just do a fan-type thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The apparent West Ham target is revealed. Smith out Parker back in. Would take him back as a tiote understudy anyday tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Still stood out despite the rest of the team dragging him down on Wednesday. I would have him back here in a shot, pirouettes and all. Shouldn't have been sold in favour of Smith/Barton to begin with and he never wanted to leave, thought the booing was pretty harsh on weds tbh. That said with the money West Ham would want it would be easier to buy someone much more effective for our needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Where is this Parker back in talk coming from? Surely he'd be prohibitively expensive considering that he's the only thing standing between West Ham and the Championship right now. We'd have to give them more than the 5m they paid us. And yes, it was always a mistake to sell him, although it hurts a lot less now that his replacement (Barton) has finally come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
