A ?6m bid from Middlesborough for Manu's Alan smith has reportedly been accepted. Personally i dont want Smith to leave, he is a good player and can play almost everywhere.
Wow, I knew we were targeting him but not enough to make a bid. On the Boro website it's got rumours saying it's now just up to us to convince him that his future lies at the Riverside. It'd be a good signing if we get him, just need him to stay injury-free and out of trouble.
He said no - he said he wanted European football at the least. He's definetly worth 6M Though. I hope pompey land him.
Was always a fan of Alan Smith but his chances were very limited last season. I'm sure he could be a first team regular at a premiership club
If United can get £6mil for a striker that has only scored 7 (seven) goals for them they'll rip Boro's hands off quicker than Barrymore can get his pants off when he hears pool party mentioned. Alan Smith as been a MAJOR flop at United.

He didnt always play up front and he was injured for a while.

I think Tuncay Sanli will line up with Yakubu but Southgate gave Dong-Gook a go towards the end of last season so he's also a chance to start the season in the first XI.
Well United need to sell a striker so that they can go for a striker, i thaught saha would be sold and we would keep smith as a good squad player.
