Alan Smith has been sold to Newcastle for £6m. Guess he wanted more first team games but Newcastle have loads of strikers so its a strange choice. Newcastle already have:
Owen
Martins
Viduka
Ameobi
Luque
Arguably Smith will be 3rd or 4th choice. Anyway, good luck to Smith. He was a decent player but he also gave 100%. All the best!
It does leave us short of strikers though. We only now have Rooney since we have sold Rossi. I am abit unhappy about this as he was highly rated and loads of United fans really rated him – however he has been sold to Villareal on some slightly complicated deal – we sold him for £6.7m but United have option to buy him back. Also our other strikers: Saha – always injured. Solskjaer – as much as I love him he is getting on. Dong – unclear whether he is “United” class.
However our problems have been helped with the news today that we are clear to sign Tevez – the saga is finally over with it being sorted out of court. Thanks goodness!!!!
