Great news, not so sure about Vuckic but he's still only 19 so why not? I think if Ben Arfa was unavailable we'd probably play Marveaux or another striker before Vuckic anyway. Think Ferguson will be class if we can get him to a Championship side.

Yeah, they both definetly need first team football and are not getting it all atm. Can see Kadar going out too

I really want to like Smith, supposedly he's one of the main reasons the lads geared up and fought to get back to the PL plus he used to be a great striker until his injury, I can't believe that it could ruin so many aspects of his game. I really do want to like him but he just doesn't make it easy does he? The man is ****ing awful at football.

A lot of people think Smith was a great striker at Leeds but he really wasn't he was hugely inconsistent and really didnt score that many goals overall.

Smith is going to the states at the end of the season I believe. Adrian Heath had enquired and Newcastle were willing but on speaking with Smith, Heath was told he wanted to see out his lucrative contract but would be interested at the season end. If we can ship him out and reduce a few costs even short term its a good move. As long as we have recall clauses on Fergie and Haris then also good moves. Try and get them somewhere together if possible.

This. <ok>

Vuckic and Ferguson would be excellent additions to any Championship side IMO.

He didn't score goals for fun but he was still a great player imo. To say hugely inconsistent is an exaggeration, Leeds fans love him for more reasons than just because he was a local boyhood fan, his workrate was good and he would produce moments that showed he was growing into a top player. He was still reasonably young when he was with them, plenty of years ahead and you have to admit they looked very promising.

Maybe Leicester would like Ferguson. They have no wingers

Doncaster are a team who would suit Vuckic's strengths because they play a 433 were they have a holding mid and two other midfielders who are either box-to-box or attacking. Vuckic would slot right in there with there style of play too because of his technique, speed and passing ability.

Yeah, I think he would score goals for fun in that league aswell
 
I don't really understand Smith. When he plays he always gives 100% and throws himself in front of everything but he doesn't really seem that fussed about playing as long as he gets his pay packet every week. Money talks I suppose.

Yeah and back then Smith was quite quick and nippy. <ok>

Him, Viduka, Kewell, Bowyer, etc.. were all class acts back then.

Yep. There team used to be:

Robinson

Mills - Ferdinand - Woodgate - Harte

Milner - Dacourt - Bowyer - Kewell

Viduka - Smith

Pretty impressive like. I know the likes of Milner was too young and not sure if Woodgate played alongside Ferdinand, but was a quality, young English loking team back then

This is the essense of the Smith enigma. He puts the effort in that he used to put in when he was younger, but he just keeps ****ing up all the damn time because of it. Match feeds always read like this:

84mins - Alan Smith is substituted on
86mins - Alan Smith booked for rash challenge, free kick on outside of box
87mins - GOAL FLASH, NEWCASTLE LOSE

Yeah and look at that quality back-line. <yikes> Amazing.

Also there strikers were class. They had Viduka and Smith.. but also ROBBIE KEANE AND FOWLER. I wish we had that strength in depth now.. especially upfront. :/
