But I reckon we should go for Alan Smith on loan for a month when he's anywhere near okay. At first it sounds ridiculous, however... 1) It's in Man Utd's interests to get him fit and may not ask us to pay wages. 2) Premiership clubs cannot loan anyone until January... But the main point is that Alan and Andy Ritchie get on extremely well and keep in touch. The first person to text Smithy when he got injured v Liverpool was Andy and Alan was extremely grateful and recently passed on a thankyou message via a member of the media. So why not?! Might give our defensive lads a hand too. No doubt it won't happen, but we can but dream
Fergie wants him to play upfront again, due to his lack of strikers. And i think he'd want him to play in the Prem.</p> Other than that....why not? </p>
As I said... Prem teams can't loan till January and he's already on the comeback trail. Championship's best league he could be loaned to.
I still think he'd want him to go to Prem, whether its January or not.</p> He's already playing reserve football. Fergie will have him on the bench shortly. I agree tho', would be worth a quick phone call.</p>
Wasnt he on the bench tonight? Was watching the Arsenal game so dont know but thought I heard that somewhere. Good thought but cant see it happening myself
