Everton bid for United's Smith?

EVERTON boss David Moyes is ready to bid for Manchester United's Alan Smith - after reeling from the loss of starlet James Vaughan for three months.

Moyes has had Smith on his wish-list for weeks and chairman Bill Kenwright has already spoken to United about a deal for the England squad man within their budget.

But now Vaughan's cruel shoulder dislocation has made the Smith move a priority - and talks will begin to agree a fee and see if the player wants to go to Goodison.

United will look for around £8m for Smith, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson bullish about the price of his players after selling Kieran Richardson to Sunderland for £5.5m. Moyes could offload James Beattie to part-fund the Smith move.
