Guest musika Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yay now Owen can f*** Off! Definitely, with Alan "the goal machine" Smith why would we need Owen now? Because we have Viduka, Martins and Ameobi to go with it? You tell me which of those players are going to be content with hanging around on the bench. Owen is a liability - His wages far outstretch his usefulness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest musika Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 You might be right. I personally rate Smith higher than most would I guess. Nevertheless - Owen isn't the most loyal of strikers - Atleast now if he decides to bail we won't be in a whole lot of strife :parky: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Happy enough with this signing, we get a midfielder and a striker for £6m which given today's prices for English players is good going, especially a current international with vast experience. BTW for those who say he's shite, he's not too dissimilar to Dirk Kuyt as a forward who most on here were gutted to see join Liverpool and not us last season. Smith isn't a bad player, he's no goalscorer, but he'll benefit our more productive players by being present in the side, especially if he does play up front as I can see either of our strikers working well alongside him, certainly Owen. The last game I saw him for for Man Utd was against Roma where I thought he was brilliant up front, scoring a cracking goal. Good signing, welcome to Toon Alan.

Guest kingdawson Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Barton = Excellent signing Viduka = Excellent signing Geremi = Good signing Dont know much about the other 2 players youve signed but the signing of Smith imo is dreadful. The guy is useless and i was actually dreading Jol going in for him when we were linked. He does have heart and determination though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is useless and i was actually dreading Jol going in for him when we were linked. He does have heart and determination though seriously though you bought jermaine jeenas for fucks sake. And spent 17million on darren bent. I would say Smith is at least 1/3 of the player Bent is, which removes any bragging rights you have. He may do well, you never know.

He may do well, you never know. 7 million on Jenas was a very good price considering what certain players are going for today. Bent was overpriced but i dont agree that Smith is 1/3rd of the player Bent is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Malcom MacDonald and Alan Shearer must have been massive coups when you consider the prices players are going for today in that case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
