Trinity-Tom Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Seems as though sha will be selling Upson in January, should we be interested We need to look at other areas before buying a centre back. As far as I can see it, we need a centre forward, an out and out winger, preferably right sided, a right back and cover/competition for McCann.

Last year Liam was a liability, and with Laursen then considered a write off we were desperate for a new CB. Yes, Laursen is back - but Liam is keeping him at bay, meaning that we are now suitablly covered. Liam has impressed the hell out of me this season - hardly put a foot wrong.

mozley77 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Alan Smith anyone? Aston Villa lining up £6million Old Trafford swoop 14:31 October, 30, 2006 Aston Villa Football Club are believed to be interested in Alan Smith. The Manchester United star gas bounced back from an horrific injury which he suffered earlier this year, and he is currently working his way back to full fitness as he eyes a place in the Reds starting eleven. Used as a midfielder last season, Smith is being reverted back to his preferred position as a striker this term although he has his work cut out edging past the likes of Louis Saha and Wayne Rooney. It is believed that Martin O’Neill is keen to offer him the chance of regular first team football at Villa Park, and an offer of £6million is rumoured to be on its way to Old Trafford in January.

Richard Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Fans FC, says it all really. Hardly the most reliable of sources! Mind you I personally wouldn't mind Smith, if thats what MON wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Mind you I personally wouldn't mind Smith, if thats what MON wants Yep, decent young player, sign him up...................... if his leg has healed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derryvillan Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Zoltan Gera? He was mentioned frequently last/close season for the RW slot. It's all gone a bit quiet about him since the summer. Not as good as first thought or are we simply moving on to bigger/better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePablo Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Mind you I personally wouldn't mind Smith, if thats what MON wants Yep, decent young player, sign him up...................... if his leg has healed properly. would be a SUPERB acquisition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_H Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Mind you I personally wouldn't mind Smith, if thats what MON wants Yep, decent young player, sign him up...................... if his leg has healed properly. would be a SUPERB acquisition To play up front or in midfield. IMO was a good front player when he was at Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Man Utd wont want to sell Smith, he and Saha are to replace Horse Face thats what Fergerson has said. He would only sell if they got another world class striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Why are people on about Zoltan Gera?? Clearly he isn't a step uå, clearly he isn't the quality we should be looking for. I am not disrespectful, I'm just trying to figure what this guy has ever done to get such a reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam100 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 we should go for matt murray rather than boaz myhill, murrays got what it takes to play for england, which isn't hard for a goalkeeper but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 We should at least try to sign Wesley Sneijder, hes a damn good player. I wouldn´t mind him, Gav and Petrov in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wouldn't mind Smith. Think he's a really good player and would suit in the attack. He's a nasty tw@t too which we really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffs Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Does anyone have any thoughts on Richard Dunne? Although central defence isn't the biggest priority, I'd take him in our defence. Whether he's gettable I have no idea..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he's gettable I have no idea..... Do you really think that the other teams strikers are that bad that we have to sign theb PL's most scorer of own goals to give them a chance to score on us? :shock: Not in a million years.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Man Utd wont want to sell Smith, he and Saha are to replace Horse Face thats what Fergerson has said. He would only sell if they got another world class striker! So Man United would sell Smith if the prices is right and they can get a replacement? Bit like every other club in the world then Jez? :winkold: I'd welcome Alan Smith. Skillful, strong, quick, decent in the air, he's got the complete package. His versatility (I'd play him just behind the front two) is just a bonus. However, I'm not sure Villa fans would his accept goal ratio despite all the other work he does. Pair him with Jermain Defoe and watch them fly in....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair him with Jermain Defoe and watch them fly in....... Smith is an all or nothing kind of player - the precise opposite of DJDJ for example - I think the fans would love him down VP for his attitude alone, god knows what he'd be like working under MON. I'd also love us to sign Defoe - I think he's a stunning player. I know plenty have their own opinions on Defoe but for me he could be the next great English goalscoring centre forward.
