Skirge Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I hope Smith gets hit by a train before we sign him...then we won't have to argue about what squad number he gets. What's Smith done to deserve this sort of comment Skirge? I've always thought you were one of the milder regular forumites on here. I think Smith will be a canny player for us as long as he's fully recovered from his injury. At least he's a 100%er compared to Dire's 20% on a good day. I am, and wishing him to be clatterd by a train is purely to stop us signing him, I think he will be a complete and utter waste of money, Man Ure wasted money on him and now are getting rid, he really is not the kind of player we need.

He could bounce of said train and maybe lose a limb, as long as his injury stops us signing him, maybe a train is a bit sever I admit, so how about getting hit by an over enthusiastic cyclist going flat out on a racer.

Elliottman Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Argg i hate Alan Smith Why are we chasing this guy? We are now a midfielder down.. so what do we do? We go for a striker which is the only area that does not need improving Sure Big Sam is looking for other players, but why the hell is Smith a likely target.. WE DONT NEED HIM He's not an out and out striker. He will more likely play in midfield most of the time. He will give a lot more than Dyer did, and if you put him and Dyer 1 on 1 with the keeper, id choose Smith to score any day of the week. hasnt got the pace of Dyer, but lets face it, apart from the first 2 games back from injury last season, Dyer was bollocks. Not a huge fan of Smith, but glad to see the back of Dyer. Smith has premiership and Champions league experience, still young, and will be very hungry to prove his worth. Could do worse...

Guest Ebolarama Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Would take Smith over Dyer any day, but frankly not crazy about either. So really, what I'm trying to say is... well... "meh" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Verlaine Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'm willing to speculate that none of you have closely followed the career of Alan Smith. Given that, all of your opinions are based on the odd game you've seen on sky and then MotD highlights. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I agree with whoever said I really wanted him before manu signed him as i thought he was a great prospect and really he got over shadowed quite quickly much like saha it took ages for them to get a foothold in the side, when i have seen him play I have found him to be decent, really think that we could do better with 6m if the fee is to be believed but as many have said too young and english usually adds the £££' s on. Certainly we all went on how sam is good at getting the best out of players that have took a dip in their carear and with smith still seemly reeling off a long list of injuries we should keep the faith its not like souey or rodent signed the lad.

Kimbo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Oh jesus wept. We're throwing £6m at a player that specialises in running around snarling, and isn't good enough for our first team. T'rrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'rrific. he still managed to get a game for manu, I really dont see the big fuss. He is comming from manu after being told he will not get as many games as he wants due to newer more expensive signings, we are not buying him from wigan or some unknown club so I say if we can give dyer more than one chance we can do the very same for smith.

KaKa Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Some of the comments on here are disgusting. I for one prefer to wait and see how he will be used and how he performs before making any kind of comment. I saw him play in midfield quite a bit for Man U and was always surprised by how well he used the ball when in posession. The only downside was the way he flew into some rash tackles, but I think this was more down to him playing DM and being told to replace Keane. As an attacking midfielder he won't have that demand on him. I bet if he comes he does really well, especially because he is a good pro and is going to work very hard to make sure he does well and if he is playing every week I'm sure he will. This is going to be interesting and there is a huge potential for some people on here to look like absolute morons. Really dissapointing response to a player who has chosen to come here and play for your club. Disgraceful. At least wait till he messes up before having a go.

Dragon55544 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I think he will be good player for us, He will add a bit of fight when we are away from home and he will score his fair share of goals. He can play in a number of positions which tbf we need atm because of the small squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 he came to them as a striker, fergie descided to make him keane's replacement even though he had shown no signs of being that sort of player and then was resorted to being a bench player never getting a long run of games. Not impressive but definetly good enough reason to say he deserves a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
