Fairly big-name signing i suppose, and would give the defensive qualities that may give Danns etc. play with more freedom in attack. I've been told that he's a bit slow and can't keep up with the play. Not seen it myself, just what a toon fan mate of mine told me.

Why? We don't need Alan Smith. He's not the player he once was

No, he used to be a striker but now he can play defensive midfield and, this is the most important thing, isn't worried about getting stuck in when the opposition are physical like pretty much every other player we have in the squad. If we're going to be stuck with a player on those wages we might as well make it be one that we're prepared to play, wants to play, and that gives us something we've lacked for the last 10 years whenever Ashbee hasn't been in the midfield.
 
He is a Phil Brown type signing. Absolute non starter.

I think he would do a very good job, but as others have already posted, his lucrative wages mean we would never even think about trying to acquire him. He's also an ex Leeds player. :emoticon-0112-wonde

TWS can have him for all I care
 
Erm I believe he is on 60k a week, poor Jimmy might demand a raise if we sign someone on more money than him.
Probably not a good move :-)
