Smith hopeful for new deal

Slipshade SG

Alan Smith has announced he is in negotiations to sign a new deal with Manchester United.

Smith moved to Old Trafford from Leeds on a five-year deal in 2004 but, after breaking his leg in February 2006, he has struggled to regain his fitness this season.

However, he started for England in the friendly with Brazil on Friday night and now has his sights set on winning a new contract and a place in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans.

"I have a contract renegotiation coming up and, now I'm fit, I'm ready to fight for my future," he told the Daily Star Sunday.

"I definitely want to stay at Old Trafford.

"My agent has spoken to the club and hopefully that should be done in the next few weeks."

Smith is an above average player (better than Richardson at least Laughing ).

He is a very good sub for Man U if he can stay on......but he can only dream about being first team.

I think the closest player that i can see Smith develop is Mark Hughes.

Using his upper strength to hold off players and then with his brute power, develop his own space and shot..

Realistically all of us know he can't be a henry, rooney or even RVN.

I believe he has not yet regain his peak after the horrific injury...

However, I believe once there, he will start to contribute..

At least one thing, I love is his determination..
