didn't know about this like, I know we were interested but I didn't know we put in an offer. I don't rate him, but thats because I didn't see him that much, simply because of injuries and stuff.

But it might be ok to give him a go but not for 6 Million.

UNITED AGREE TO BORO £6M BID FOR SMITH
By Paul Mccarthy

BORO have had a £6 million bid for striker Alan Smith accepted by Manchester United - and now manager Gareth Southgate will jet to Florida to convince the player to join his Riverside revolution.

Smith is currently on holiday in the States but Southgate is determined to sell Middlesbrough to the 25-year-old England international.

Southgate's Atlantic crossing puts Boro a step ahead of north east rivals Newcastle and Sunderland, both of whom have been tracking the former Leeds star.

Neither Sam Allardyce nor Roy Keane have lodged bids with Old Trafford, leaving Southgate in the box seat.

He is a huge fan of the combative Smith although he knows he will have to be at his persuasive best to lure him from Old Trafford to Teesside.

Smith has now accepted he no longer has a future at United and recently issued a thinly disguised "come and get me" plea.

Boro are also on the brink of launching a dramatic swoop for Barcelona forward Javier Saviola.

The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Sevilla, scoring nine times, and will be allowed to leave by Barca boss Frank Rijkaard.

Talks are believed to be close to completion for the Argentina star to move to the Riverside.

And that won't be the end of the transfer activity for Boro, who have already signed Turkey forward Tuncay Sanli, because Jonathan Greening is set for a stunning switch back to the Riverside
