Heard this alot in the past week. Seems like a superb idea, but one reservation, wages. As long as he is moving to a much smaller wage than he would be used to then I'm all for it. Another voice in the dressing room and on the field is a good idea and we would certainly help motivate the middle of the park. Not sure how we would line up though with Derry, Liddle and Smith all looking to be be on the defensive side of things. A creative ball sprayer would be my main need.

Alan Smith is a weird one.

He's no doubt a good player, still gifted. However, I haven't seen much of him in this league and I really not sure how he would be a valued asset. Considering the risk of injury, plus his wages... It just seems somewhat unlikely for me.

Yea Not feeling Alan Smith being picked up. Wages, etc. I think we need to find some younger player along the same lines as hissingdwarf said. I'd say some defenders that do better against free kicks. and a few midfielders who can distribute better and hold on to it.

Alan Smith is a leader, he does have that impact and his experience should be useful to players.

Still, I have concerns about wages and injury but it cannot harm really. I trust Shauns and Gregs judgement :)

Smith is past his best but does offer vast experience, graft and influence both on & off the pitch.

Not the most overwhelming prospect but a useful acquisition nonetheless IMO.

Radio Nottingham are reporting that he has had a medical and is expected to sign today.

This is official now. Player/Coach. Doubt he'll play much. Injury prone.Will be a good coach I reckon.

This could be an excellent signing.He doesn't shirk responsibility and isn't short on effort.He's on a one year contract.
