Guest alex Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Both inconsistent as well but when on form he's a lot better than Shola. Think he's out of contract at the end of the season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 9940 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 HUGHTON HOPING SMITH STAYSPosted 20/11/10 13:01 Newcastle manager Chris Hughton is determined to keep Alan Smith at the club despite his lack of playing time lately. The former Leeds and Manchester United midfielder, who made the transition from striker, has only played four times in the Premier League this season. With Blackburn and Stoke reportedly keen on taking him away from St James' Park when the transfer window opens, speculation has mounted that his Toon career is coming to an end. However, Hughton wants to keep hold of everyone in the squad as he does not expect to have money to spend on new talent. "It is even more important now that we do not lose players. I do not anticipate anyone coming in when the transfer window opens in January and, if that is the case, I do not want anyone going out," he told the Daily Express. "Alan has been a fantastic player for us and, irrespective of whether he is playing or not, he's a good player to have around. "It is always difficult for a player who is not playing when he is used to playing and Smithy is no different. "It is never an easy time but that is the nature of the game."

khay 8 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Rumour on newsnow about Emre signing for Liverpool for £8m in January, hope that's true like. From Wikipedia - After a disappointing first season, consistent performances in the next saw Emre rewarded with the Turkish League player of the year in season 2009–2010. Emre was effective at both ends of the pitch, his experience and combative style proving a valuable asset in taking his team so close in both league and cup.

OTF 6129 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 No defense in Emre and inconsistent as, as well as injury prone. Would be a poor signing for Liverpool as Gerrard already offers them an inconsistent spoilt midfielder who doesn't play in any particular position. Gerrard though is certainly capable of better than Emre, and gets away with all sorts of shit because he's England's Stevie G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentAxeman 82 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm sure Hughton will be identifying a decent striking prospect for January. Absolute shot in the dark here but what about Ryan Babel? Alledgedly the dippers want rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Babel, on several occasions he's looked class but the very fact that both Rafa and Roy havn't seemed keen on him even when they have injuries makes me worried. Was really highly rated before he went there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
