Alan Smith’s £3M move from Newcastle to Everton looks to be doubtful, because the player turned up at Newcastle’s Darsely Park training complex this morning.
Alan Smith - serious doubts about his Everton move
There had been reports that he was on his way to Everton to have a medical and possible sign for Everton, but this is not good news for the club (sorry Alan, it’s nothing personal).
Smith, 27, has had a poor year at the club he joined a year ago, and as a striker has not scored a single goal, yet he is still on a massive £60K/week, and may be inclined to take a pay cut to move to Everton, where at least he would get more games.
It appears, as we reported earlier today that if he moved to Everton he would have to take a drastic pay cut, and the player still has four years left on his contract at Newcastle.
How many times do we see players not wanting to move from Newcastle because they are on massive wages, which they hardly deserve. It’s small wonder that owner Mike Ashley is trying to bring wages more into balance at the club.
But in spite of his poor record at Newcastle it seems like manager Kevin Keegan is still keen to keep him, because his squad is very small and Kevin feels he can still get the best out of Alan.
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, however, is said to be unimpressed by Smith – no wonder he stopped wearing number 17 - and is keen to do business because Smith’s departure would reduce the wage bill, and we’d lose a player who has not produced.
We’d like to see Alan move on – but it’s also dependent on who we are bringing to the club, but it looks right now as though are squad will be smaller than last season, when it was woefully inadequate to deal with any injuries.
Comments welcome.

KK likes Smith. He’s not going anywhere.
2 Taiwantoon // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:25
It’s off. Everton has signed Saha.
3 Rob Davis // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:26
Smith is the future, he will fire us into the top 6. Without him we will be in a relegation battle.

Anyone spotted Mr WOW yet?
5 bruTOOOON // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:27
everton signed saha so no way they going to signed alan smith.
if i m a billionaire, i would pay myself the 3 million and let everton take alan smith
6 Safferman // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:28
No surprise, i never thought he’s be leaving anyways. By the way where the hell is our LB signing, probably the most important signing we needed?
7 ObaFan2 // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:29
Surely Everton would accept £3 million to take him away….. offer them £4 million and private jet to take him plzzzzz
8 Marat18 // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:29
gonna get “WOW?” #19 on the back of my shirt
9 shearer9 // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:30
it is unfair to say he wont leave newcastle because of the wages he is on, we dont even know if there has actually been a bid from everton all it is is rumours.
10 Taiwantoon // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:30
WOW signing?
A commercial deal with World Of Warcraft
11 neeraj // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:31
nnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i even wrote one sentence testimony for smith’s newcastle days and for his future
12 fostino // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:31
it annoys me everytime i hear SSN saying ‘two major boosts for newcastle, ameobi and smith are both staying’ ARGHHHHHHH, id rather them gone, even with our tiny squad!!
13 SD Toon // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:31
A loaned midfeilder & a nobody spanish striker…..very very dissapointed so far especially after seeing what Man City & Tottenham are up to in the transfer market aswell as Aston Villas & Portsmouth dealings so far . Unless Fat Mike Ashley spalshes some cash its gonna be a long hard season.
14 tynside tommo // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:32
Ed, Can’t you scrap these “Congratulations” links? They’re trash and simply cheapen the blog.
15 Danish_Magpie // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:37
My only concern from this transfer window, is that Keegan stated back in May that one position we definetly needed to strengthen was LB as Enrique is all we’ve got and that he felt we needed a quality LB. We have not signed any yet. This is surprising as money is available to Keegan, so it must be because we have:
a) Not been able to find one in 3 months (which would be simply not good enough)
b) Not able to attract any of the quality we desire (a shame but noones ‘fault’ really)
Still hope for something to add to Xisco and Nacho, but if not, we will soldier on with what we have.
16 James // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:38
SD Toon - All the clubs you mentioned are in the UEFA Cup, hence the attraction for players wanting to play European football.

19 SD Toon // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:41
Fair enough maybe ill have to lower my expectations. Our squad is rubbish & we are falling further behind.
20 Frankieboy // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:43
Smithy aint the type to sit back and just take the money, he will come good. Am quite happy for him to stay, but can’t say same for Ameobi
21 Ally // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:43
Apparently it said on SSn that Rosenborg have signed midfielder Anthony Annan, nd this would allow Skjelbred to travel to Newcastle
22 Mark-O // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:43
I asked the question on the other page but what happened with the Warnock deal? I love Smudger always thought he was quality but after the leg break he’s not really done anything!!! Shame like but he needs to go. Ameobi is a total waste of space.
Ashley REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to splash the cash or he’ll be in danger of losing the fans!
23 dubsea // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:43
the top 8 is going to be super competitive this season…what man city is doing is mind boggling
24 DH7 Mags // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:45
smithy to everton to re-launch his career, baines in exchange. that covers the left back position
25 iain // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:46
says it all that we couldnt prise warnock away from blackburn, even if we match there valuation late on they wont sell as they dont have another lb nor will they be able to get one.
cant believe we didnt go for traore who arsenal loaned to pompey.
26 Denton Burn Agro Boy // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:46
Kevin asked to be judged on the replacement of James Milner and his other signings at midnight tonight.
As yet Mr Keegan, I am not impressed.

re: ally
did SSN actual say this??
28 Ginkoh // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:48
Honestly, I want to see Alan Smith back to his form and shut the criticize up. But if he cannot motivate himself I don’t know how to but Sell him.
29 Ally // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:49
aye one of the lads on the other article said this, it is true that Annan has gone to Rosenborg as it is on Skysports.com, so i think this has some substance

33 Geordie Nick // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:52
SSN have reported that rosenborg signed annan but it doesnt say nothing about tht meaning skjelbred is traveling to newcastle
34 Geordie SPIDERMAN18 (GG7) // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:55
ill be honest with you all now, and i will tell you, i can never see us progressing under mike ashley, as much as i like the bloke, even the youngsters he is signing arent to great, i expected the likes of veloso, gomez, so on and so on, instead we get the likes of zamblera
35 Marat18 // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:55
they said that Rosenborg is signing a midfielder, but nothing said on Skjelbred.
but fingers crossed.
I already have some pictures of him to write a breaking news on the local nufc site
not as I rate the lad that much, just want some activity. and it’s reported that he is life-long Toon-fan.
36 Ally // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:56
Mr who spotted in stowell street lesh lol
37 Oba // Sep 1, 2008 at 15:57
We’ll do what we always do, announce the signings at like midnight or after.
At least I hope so.
38 Nickies Butt 1000 // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:00
Alot of people think us geordies are stupid and some people on this Blog are close to proving it hmmm… STOP TRIEING TO THINK WE ARE GOING TO SIGN HUNTELAAR OR BERBATOV IT WON’T HAPPEN… EVER. 1st of all we are not as big of a club as we used to be and no Europe qualification. 2nd we are making steady progress no matter how slow it may seem and the demise is faster than progress made. 3rd MA has the money but wants to spend it wisely unlike spuds and man sh*tty as they were total pap last season and we don’t want to end up like them. DUH Berbatov will come to Newcastle DUH and so will Huntelaar DUH and Ronaldinho DUH DUH we are gonna win da premier league and World Cup DUH. Don’t act like the geordies on sky sports please think about it.
39 nick // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:01
wish KK would stop bleating about a small squad because absolutely nothing justifies keeping Smith. I would play any of the youngsters way ahead of this obscenely overpaid excuse of a rubbish ”does nothing ”player.

Hopefully get some news through soon. Ill be really disappointed if we end up only signing the 2 unknowns after being promised we’d sign 3 players before we’d even sold milner.

Doh, sent that ages ago and just appeared
52 Tom // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:09
Skjelbred and a left back of some sort (not Atouba) to go with Xisco and Gonzalez, and I will be very happy with this summers signings
53 Ian // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:09
keep Smith stick him in the reserves until he starts scoring again, if he does someone may pay silly money for him in January or the size of our squad we may have him playing anywhere and be grateful for him!!

Nickies Butt 1000 - 100& RIGHT - y would dimi berbatov move to us, he wants to play champions league - ok he is a nufc supporter but GET REAL no chance
2nd of all mike ashley HAS TRIED to make big wow signings - coloccini in my head is one - 10 millions for an argentinan international , plus he did go for modric, n nasri but OUR CLUB IS NOT BIG ENOUGH YET
if we wait 1 season n kk jus well which i noe he will we will be able to attract dis talent n get dem on lower wages den now
56 gluedtoskysportsnews // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:10
tbh we are slowly turning into a mediocer relagation hovering team man city talking bout buying berbatov . and our BILLIONARE buying xisco Who the F*** is xisco we are a right laughing stock. ino we have a bit debt and unpaid transfers. and dont get me started on nacho ffs he must be world class like xisco coz we have all herd of him before this week :/

58 JJ // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:11
Can someone explain to me why AMEOBI (DICKHEAD) failed his medical and then played for us at the Arsenal…
This prick feigned injury so he couldnt be sold.
He is utterly useless. Cant stand him.
59 Potski // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:12
The loan signing of Gonzalez is risk-free and ideal in our current situation.
Without having any specific background info, Xisco sounds like just the type of player we need right now (tall pacey centre forward with potential) and I have genuine faith in the quality of our latest recruits with Guthrie, Spidy and Colo to go by.
I’m hopeful that we’ve got the Left-Back we need lined-up as we just allowed trialist Zayatte to move to Hull (please, not Atouba tho!).
‘SD Toon’ you’re a total mug - why are you so negative towards the best endeavours of the club? How can you possibly have a pop at MAshley when he’s invested so much of his personal money and time in our club?
Parasytes like you need a reality check and start looking at the bigger picture!
60 Oba // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:14
We still need a CM to create. I want Moutinho, and we could get him with some ambition, but we’re not showing any.
61 keeeguuurn // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:14
I hope Skjelbred comes. It would be nice to have a life long toon fan.
and looks very promising
62 I Made 1000 // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:15
this villa fan, has just told me that xisco is atually a good player, quick and tall, good shot from distance
63 xfer // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:16
I wont want to lose Smith atm, cos we are short of numbers now.
64 RobB // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:19
Apparently number 17 is MA’s lucky number when he gambles! Should have learned the lesson.
Ian you’re right. If Smith played in the reserves he might get some confidence and technique back. He’s a likeable guy - would be good if he started to deliver.

From Rosenborg’s official website (reg. Per Ciljan Skjelbred).
After 3 very good performances last week Per Ciljan Skjelbred has taken the step from the U21-side to the full Norwegian squad for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.
I haven’t seen too much of him but apparently a talanted and promising young man.

Doesn’t anyone think it would be hilarious if Berbatov did sign for Citeh? Imagine if Shearer had signed for the unwashed down the road?
I would laugh my arse off if Berbabtov did sign for Citeh as;
1) It would rub taggarts face in it and
2) It would show Berbatov to be the mercenary bugger I’ve always thought he was.
Saying that there’s still the possibility that he will sign for ManUre ala Rooney and us a few seasons back.
85 mushy // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:34
@ SD TOON, I think you’re right.. we are heading for a season of mediocrity. But in reality that may not be such a bad thing. The MA buy-out revealed a potential financial implosion. Now averted, we have to be patient and accept a slow (compared to others) period of sustained growth, unless Prince Abu Dabi or somebody comes along and chucks shed loads of money at us. Here’s hoping.
86 neeraj // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:35

Angry - No man citeh aren’t bigger than us, they are just throwing money around. Just because Berbabtov is going to allegedly talk to Citeh, doesn’t mean they will get him.
We could offer £50m to spurs and they would accept, of course they would. Spurs have always wanted £30m, ManU wouldn’t pay it. How better to stick two fingers up to ManU than by accepting a bid from their rivals?

100 Potski // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:46
SD Toon - what do you seriously expect us to achieve this year?
If u consider that the last 4 years we’ve finished in the bottom half of the Premiership, and teams like Villa/Man City/Spurs have invertsed £30-£40million and will not break into the top4, you really need to get a grip on reality.
You may call it mediocrity but I’m personally hoping for progress this year, by way of finishing in 7th-10th.
I also feel that without the great work of Mike Ashley this would be IMPOSSIBLE!
101 Jo // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:46

116 ToonDaft // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:53
i agree with Potski - let’s be honest, the top 6 places are now gone already - I mean Man City are going to be in the top half with their current squad and come January these loons are gonna pump 100m+ to catapult them and secure at least 5th spot - Spurs must surely look good fir sixth with their investment, maybe 7th - then u have to say who will finish 7th? Villa, Pompey, Everton or US? miles behind at the moment imo
117 Nickies Butt 1000 // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:53

NB 1000 - Ah, I see. Fair enough. Just to clarify I wasn’t saying that we could compete now, or comparing Citeh to us when we went head to head with ManU for a player. I was trying to say that Fergie has a reputation for completing a deal when he really wants the player who another club is bidding for.

If Berba goes to Madrid, do you recon the Saviola deal could be back on?

126 ToonKing // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:57

127 TOONARMYTOM // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:57
When will xisco finish his medical?
anyone think we will have anyone else in?
128 samthecat // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:58
Clearly Keegan said we needed a left back,centre back and another holding midfielder, so far only 1 position has been covered.
He later specified both full back positions.
We know have 6 forwards in number if not in name and 2 full backs?

So I was talking to this bloke in the pub. He told me his name was Mike Ashley, so I said get your podgy fingers in yer pocket you tight-fisted git and buy some proper (WOW) footballers. He said “I’ve just spent £250 mill with another £27 mill owing getting your sorry arses out of debt, and I’ll spend more money when I decide, not when you lot say I should. And if you don’t like it, what are you going to do about it” Well, I was a bit stuck for a sensible answer, so I thought I would come on here and gather a few incitefull replies before getting back to him.
I await with baited breath.

NO ONE HAVE ANY NEWS THEN???? WHAT ABOUT THIS XISCO KID?
131 Nickies Butt 1000 // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:59
Not really ANDYGLOSTOON as the player might turn out sh*te in the premier league and that would a waste of money. A waste of alot of money on what could have brought in a few that had been scouted by NUFC scouts that that no. of players were good enough. example of bad fan signings Shevchenko.
132 Micky Toon // Sep 1, 2008 at 16:59
So Berbatov to Real Madrid.
Is this just a load of clubs trying to p*ss off ManU?
Spurs because ManU wouldn’t pay their price.
Citeh, becuase it’s Citeh?
RM because they couldn’t get Ronaldo?
Next year Ronaldo to RM for Berbatov plus cash.

134 big dunc // Sep 1, 2008 at 17:00
Serious question here, keagan said that by the end of today, we would think thgat selling milner would look like apositive move does anyone at the minute thinks its positive, because it looks to me that ashley just wanted the money he spent on colocini back before he spent more
135 ANDYGLOSTOON // Sep 1, 2008 at 17:01
