STM Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I just don't think Sam sees press conferences as a priority anymore. Can't say i'm gutted but would be nice to hear form the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Newcastle don't do player press conferences any more - that was a Freddy Shepherd ego thing. what a strange man you are. Happy with Smith, better than Dyer and if he is on a lower wage then it's even sweeter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sombrero Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I can not believe that so many people are being negative about Alan Smith, he will give you 100% in every game he plays, he has created almost double amount of goals that Keiron Dyer, and he plays almost double the games Dyer plays, apart Smith's terrible injury he is almost nearly fit for most of the season, he is strong and direct and is a battler, just what we need at Newcastle. Give the lad a chance, he is coming here to prove people wrong and I hope he does, the prospect of Smith behind Owen and Viduka or Martins to me is a exciting one especially when we have Butt, Barton, Geremi as cover and Milner running down the wings good post. a quality player when at leeds who lost his way at man yoo through a combination of an appalling injury and very limited oportunities. a focussed, committed team player with a decent eye for goal (has scored some marvellous ones too), i just cannot see where all this pessimism is coming from. we're a strictly second tier draw in the prem right now with precious little cash to chance on 'big names' - been there, done that and got nowhere, so i for one am more than happy with this more pragmatic, sensible approach to our transfers. allardyce is clearly trying to add some much needed steel to last season's surrender monkeys. those who think this is at the expense of skill are dreaming - viduka, barton, geremi, rozenhal, smith are all decent ball players who understand the virtues of the passing game. sven has already blazed through over 30 mil compared to our 2 odd mil, and will citeh be finishing above us in the league next season? will they f*ck. your guys are right, i guess i was being a little negative because he came from man u. but i suppose when you get serious with football, alan smith is definately a much needed improvement esppecially when u think about last seasons performance. no way will city finsih above us, ill bet on that!

Just gets thrown around from the Riverside to SoL to St James' from day-to-day, gets mobbed by charvers when a transfer is made or a manager is sacked/appointed. Bet he hates his job.

The way he sneaked up on Smith though was classic. Really took him by surprise and basically got a scoop out of nothing (or 100% confirmation Smith was in talks) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Mates with TalkSports Graham 'Expecting a good game today' Courtney no doubt. DC did get to do the Evening show with Ian Payne last night, kept mentioning Smith so maybe he was getting edgy about having to report on other insignificant teams like Arsenal and Chelsea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
