alanmidd 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 In a couple of the papers today, more than likely just paper talk. Can't see it coming off 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 To be honest I wouldn't want that deal. Cuellar has probably been one of our best signings in the past 10/15 years and Alan Smith is getting worse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuellar has probably been one of our best signings in the past 10/15 years and Alan Smith is getting worse. Agree with that. The big man must stay!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_2010 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 apparently he was in the gers end at parkhead on sunday, and the papers want cuellar gone... 2+2 = 5! (thats not 5 factorial for any of you smart-arses out there, although thats what the mhedia get sometimes! ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thats not 5 factorial for any of you smart-arses out there, although thats what the mhedia get sometimes! ) totally agree knew the story would come out today after FF had the pictures of Smith in his rangers gear at the scum on sunday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 We need Cuellar, but I don't think we need Smith. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 if we got him for a small fee I would take him, but a swap for the king no way or �£5m+ certainly not........ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That sounds like the worst deal ever! FWIW I still rate Smith and I think given some freedom and being played in the right position, especially for a club like us who he likes, he could do a good job. But the way Cuellar is playing and attracting attention form England, even just in terms of his profile as a player, is similar to how Hutton was being talked-up earlier in the season. If he finishes the season strongly, then I'd have thought his value wouldn't be far off 10M. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think since we sold Hutton, we don't need the money. The thing is 9m was more attractive than keeping Hutton, whereas keeping Cuellar is more attractive than receiving 10M. He's a more important player and one we should try to keep for the long term - if we can. I would turn down 15M for him as I think he's that important. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 847 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Smith has never been the same player since his bad injury, although he was playing regularly in a very poor Newcastle team albeit out of position IMO. Would I take Smith? Yes for sure! Would I take Smith in a swap deal for Cuellar - no chance! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
