From a Posh fan off the Football Forum:

If anyone remembers me saying two CCC clubs put a seven figure offer in for CMS, they were Leicester & Bristol City.
Source from inside the club. I didn't think you had that kinda money but there we go.

Not sure it's worthy of its own thread like, but there's not a lot else to talk about at the moment. Just thought you might be interested to know...

Would rather have McLean as a personal preference, just seems a more natural goalscorer to me even if CMS arguably had a better season.

Not at all, needs 6 or 7 chances to score at L1/2 level. CMS is a better all round striker.

Posh fans reckon they'd want £5m for him, which clearly nobody would pay.

Yes, Celtic wanted three of there players; Mackail-Smith, Maclean and Boyd and Darren Ferguson wanted £5 million each :huh:

On the Mackail-Smith note, he is a good player like Andy Keogh, obviousley another link, but they are both the same player to Matt Fryatt and we need a big man really. If these transfers did happen, who is NP going to play? Surely he wouldn't drop Matty because of his goals last season and he aint 'gunna drop big Stevie because he is a big man and we cannot play small-small.

A big man please!

Last season they were good players at L1 level. This season they won't cut the mustard.

like our current front two..? :(

a similar view was expressed last summer when they came up from L2.

Exactly. They've both banged in pretty much a goal every other game for Posh and there's no evidence to suggest that they can't continue to prosper at Championship level.

They played us off the park at London Road, and CMS was absolutely superb that day I thought.

Thats the worry, I can see it being either Fryatt and Howard or two new strikers, can't see him dropping just one for some reason.

Thats a bit unfair.

Stevie came into a losing side and had no time to gel. Saw some excellent shifts put in by him last term, he's done it before at this level, why can't he do it again? better squad around him? more creative midfielders? I have faith in both of them, think they will do us proud this term. :scarf:

Thats not to say we don't need anyone. Strong competition is always needed.

That he was.

Didn't do much at Our place however but cut the lad some stick he was up against Tunchev.

Would be an excellent signing but can't see it, posh hardly need the money.

I'd rather we had George Boyd to be honest.

A few of my mates who support Pboro say that he is a better player than CMS. He works harder for the team.

Posted
So does Fryatt :whistle:

in all honesty i can't see why people are complaining about this. as you've said the supposedly better fryatt needs just as many chances to score and yet everyone saying we would be better sticking with fryatt and howard. yet these same people were asking for us to sign more strikers and were probably the ones on fryatts back after the last couple of seasons in the championship and howards back for the majority of last season

Fryatt and Howard have both earned a chance but i'm not confident Fryatt will deliver at all, it would be harsh to drop him after getting this many goals but we really have got to spend for a proven, Championship goal getter and that is something we don't have atm (don't say Campbell, hes a nob).

Mackail-Smith is a good player but yet again he is unproven at Championship level, hes like the older version of Cox, has pace and is only proven at lower league.
