Welcome-Rooney

I did't mean to start a big debate over this, I was only stating that I thought it was very sad that a young felt the need to lie through his teeth when signing for you, it should not matter that he is a Liverpool fan, it was not just as a kid because his dad is a red but because its who he supports, you don't by your kids a strip of a team you don't support.

Smith chose us over Boro, was not a hard decision really and I am sure it was not all about the money!!

I think its sad a player feels he needs to lie like that when moving club, his talent will make him a popular player he does not need to make himself look stupid by making stuff up.

It is always a great feeling to buy quality players, but it is especially great when the player signs on for his love of the club, rather than his wallet. So I am very glad to have Baines, and very glad Smith can rot at Newcastle!

Oh howay man, you signed a canny little player but he was never a blue, all of that crap is embarrassing and I do not see why he needed to do it.

He has already done interviews in the past where he has stated he was/is a Liverpool fan.

Like the 4-4-2 mag interview.
