Comments on: Smith Wants To Fight For His Place At Newcastle http://www.nufcblog.com/2008/05/15/smith-wants-to-fight-for-his-place-at-newcastle/ News, Views and Comment On Newcastle United Football Club By Ed Harrison, A Proud Geordie And Lifelong Fan Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:32:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: gallowgate31 http://www.nufcblog.com/2008/05/15/smith-wants-to-fight-for-his-place-at-newcastle/comment-page-1/#comment-96605 gallowgate31 Fri, 16 May 2008 22:54:45 +0000 http://nufcblog.com/2008/05/15/newcastle-news/smith-wants-to-fight-for-his-place-at-newcastle/#comment-96605 One more season for me, I like his attitude and work rate, ( but nowt else ).Fergie would be the first to admit he had no place for him in the team, we now have the same problem.... His attitude towards playing for us persuades me to give him one more season, by no means a first team selection though, and at 60k ? Far more 'interested than jerm jeeeenus' or whatever he is calling himself these days, he should get used to ' reserve'. But if we could use any money from the sale of him he could be doing us a favour , Give arshavin 60k a week and a bonus.

All you will lose with Alan Smith is about 10 yellow cards a season. I'm fine with that.

Why should he @sixty grand a week! I know the guy tries, gives 100% but the net result is usually a poorly judged tackle and a yellow card , face it he is awful, could`nt score to save his life. Hey 99% of the fans agree on this. Dont want to leave! Why should he @sixty grand a week!

He is staying and he wants to be successful here. Maybe it is because he wants to repay the club or he is just happy collecting his wages here. I'm quite sure he is aware that his performance this season has been awful. He will probably work on it in pre-season to get back to first team and probably England squad. Anyway, you have no choice, if he is staying, you just got to give him a chance. Nicky Butt wasn't impressive in his first season with us. So don't write Smith off.

Perhaps it could be suggested as half time entertainment. I was over the moon when he first came here as I thought we were getting a gritty goal scoring forward but he has definately lost the plot somewhere along the line. If he had turned out to be the player we all expected we would have more than happy with him but sadly no. I think he would be ok in the championship or the SPL but not the EPL. Sorry Smithy time to go. My first reaction was the same as Martys, and I agree with Leo. Perhaps it could be suggested as half time entertainment.

Personally don't really think he is good enough for us, but hope he keeps trying and prove me wrong if he stay with us. He tries but most of the time, he has failed.

He can go fight there. On another note, watched the uefa final and must say this Arshavin is impressive. Only problem is his value probably almost doubled after securing that medal and man of match in the final. Guaranteed he's worth more now than a month ago. I see man c is offering 10 mil according to the papers. Wonder how much truth is in that. EDIT: Sirl also looked good down that left flank. Sell him to a championship side. He can go fight there.
