Smith Crying or Very sad So the wrong person to sell.

Its still early days to assess Keano's skill at management... He has so far only done well in the Championship... Something that Steve Bruce, Mark Huges and even Bryan Robson has done with West Brom... No doubt he is doing a great job currently at Sunderland but the real test will be... not just survive but to do well in the EPL next season... Only then can we say he is a good manager.

i want diego forlan and not smith…..

I cant see Smith leaving.

He's only played 9 league games after being out for 18 months, maybe SAF wants him to prove his worth this coming season before renewing his contract.

Anyway this story was by 'The Sun', the same paper which said Scholes was joining Sunderland for £2Million.

Very Happy

Inzaghi SG

Laughing Good move!

I don't think it said Scholes was joining Sunderland but rather "ROY KEANE has made a shock £2million bid for Paul Scholes"

It not to difficult to belief this story cos a few days earlier A Smith said he wouldn't leave and would like to stay at OT for the rest of his career and he was due a re-new to his present contract. His weekly salary is said to be $50k... Thats pretty high for a bit part player... Even the new arrival Nani & Anderson will be getting only 23k each per week...

So if you think about it, Fergie may actually sell him since they are not offering him a new contract cos after the coming season, he could walk away for free in the next... Fergie would not let a player walk away for free and lose out on a transfer fee.

I like smith for only 2 things:

1) His no-nonsense-get-the-job-done tackles

2) His cool albino features..

Laughing

Seriously, I think if Utd wants to sell him, they better have a reliable striker that's within their site and waiting to lay a net over him..

Or else, who can we rely on in the coming seasons??

Crying or Very sad

bananaking SG

now man utd is evil telling smith no contract!

givemeluck SG

seriously speaking , although i like smith a lot... but whats the use if he can't score goals. this is man utd u r talking about.....

unless he returned to his form last time....

i think fergie had already destroyed him , by training n playing him as a midfielder...

Inzaghi SG

i think he's better off leaving man utd, cos he wont have much chance of playing next season, esp if we get another world class striker in..

maybe can loan to roy kean...hm

dragg SG

go newcastle!!!!!

Very Happy

If Smith were to join them, he'd be in a worse situation than he is currently in. At least at United, he's bound to get some games due to the relative shortage of strikers.

At Newcastle, the striking department seems to be pretty well stocked at the moment. Viduka, Owen, Martins and Ameobi competing for 4 places. Owen is seemingly less fragile now, so it's most likely gonna be rotational for them next season. And where would dear old Smudger fit in then?

A better option would be to go to Everton. Moyes has rather consistently kept them in the top half of the table, and a battler like Smith should fit in well there. Especially if AJ is injured or they wish to play with midfield scorers, Smith's ability to hold up play and get out of the way for Arteta or Cahill to score would be invaluable. Especially since they'restrike force too looks threadbare, and Beattie looks to be on his way out.
