Signed from: Manchester United Transfer fee: £6million League Appearances: 84 League Goals: 0 84 appearances for Newcastle United, zero goals. That sums up Alan Smith's career at St James' Park. Fair enough he wasn't really a striker anymore but if that was the case than why an earth did the Magpies sign him? It wasn't like he was known for his amazing holding midfield ability. Anyway, he signed for Newcastle in 2007 on a five year contract and although playing a big part in the Geordies' return to the Premier League in 2009-10 he spent most of his time playing second fiddle to Danny Guthrie. Imagine that?
