It won't happen, he would be more likely to come here if he was going any where in the Championship. However, I think Ferguson is more likely to loan him out to a Premiership Club.

Fergies already agreed to the Cardiff loan, up to Smith now, we wouldnt want him anyway, we need players at the top of their game, a la Mcsheffery, not players trying to shake off long term injuries, a la Dunn and Forssell.

He may well go, for a month, then Man U will want him back once he's match fit. So what?

We can't take loan players or else the club will be accused of 'Gross mismanagement' by utilising other clubs players, and we wouldn't want that.

Personally - If he was fit I'd have him, as we will need another striker now the forse is out for 3 months.

I'm sure a loan will come in until Jan in the next couple of weeks.

now that forssell is injured for the best part of 3 months do you think a loan move for alan smith would be wise? after all cardiff have enquired and i think blues are a better club and smith would come

Personally I think we would be at the end of a very long line of premiership clubs if he became available.

I like Smith as a player gets stuck in but would never want him at my club. Not for his personality but as he dont score enough goals! Fergie knows that hence the reason he started playing in midfield. Probably do a good job at Cardiff but not interested to be honest. Scoring aint our problem for once its keeping them out which is our down side this season!

Havnt we got our quota of loan players. I think you can only have 3 at any one time from clubs in your own nation. I believe this is the rule to stop people having feeder clubs. You can take foriegn clubs players on loan tho'. No way would I swap Smith for Bedntner.

We're overlooking Mcsheffrey. We have 5 strikers, 4 fit. We don't need another one.

Besides... he will probably end up being another Forssell

I don't rate Smith at all, I can't understand what the fuss was about him.

Bendtner is in a different league skillwise to Smith.

there are plenty of players better than bendtner skillwise, but smith will want to prove himself to Fergie by putting the ball in the net every chance he can, he would love a first team place in Man U wouldnt he

could we still get him in anyway thought you could only have three loans from the prem... (bendtner,larsson and muamba)..if we could tho id think he would pick us over cardiff even though they are top...could go leeds tho??

personally id take him on a short term 3 month deal so he can prove some fitness to Sir Alex, whilst we;

1) Wait for the Jan transfer window
2) Get Forssell back fit
