honestly, I like alan smith a lot.  not just the skills but because the passion he brings to the game.  he always go all in on attack and defence.  he skills is not too bad too.. he is a good scorer in leeds and the first year in man utd.  i feel sorry for him when he needs to play out of position at the defensive mid and got injured. that's the point when his career went downhill.  when he came back last season, he did very good.  he is actually the type of player man utd need as a holding forward.  he can shield the ball and pass the ball.  from all these points i really think man utd should keep him since we cannot buy berbetov or other good lone striker.  however, when i saw those preseason matches this season, he has changed.  he didn't run as much and din't have the passion on the pitch.  i think part of the reason is that he feels he is not part of the squad now.  he didn't give enough reasons for sir alex to keep him to the squad.  so i think man utd should sell him now since he cannot preform his best at man utd now.  hope he has a great future in other club.
