artursteppe Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Transfer odds on Craig Mackail-Smith on Skybet - Leicester 2/5. Now I know that does not mean he is coming, but it does mean a lot of money has been bet on him coming.
StarFox Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Don't like this. We need to be building a squad which has potential to keep us up in the premiership. I don't think CMS is the man we need. Please walk away from this Sven.
escos Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 With the right players around him this lad will score for fun. £3m is a bit steep but tranfers seem to be going crazy.Since the Andy Carroll for £35m Joke!
Babylon Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 but tranfers seem to be going crazy.Since the Andy Carroll for £35m Joke! crazy long before that
Guest Mee-9 Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Transfer odds on Craig Mackail-Smith on Skybet - Leicester 2/5. Now I know that does not mean he is coming, but it does mean a lot of money has been bet on him coming. We're at evens for Heskey. Now thats something.
Babylon Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 From Yakubu and Nugent up fornt, to CMS and some Korean dude.... let down.
kingfox Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 I don't see anything wrong with Mackail-Smith, when linked with him before people weren't sure on him and I could see that myself, but after the last two season's he has had he has been excellent. Mackail-Smith has shown especially last season that he is a very good player, I would be happy with this signing and if we get Maynard along with Yakubu or Heskey then that would be very good. Nugent rumour has settled down a bit of late, but we are favourites to sign Mackail-Smith the Premiership to League 1 level might be a little bit too soon but if he comes to us I would be happy. Maynard, Heskey/Yakubu, Mackail-Smith with Tie-Se and Nugent also being strongly linked is pretty damn good.
BigBawsFaeTheShaws Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 I think a lot of strikers linked with us are overrated and overpriced. I quite fancy us signing an "unknown" talent from abroad, just to make things interesting! Yann Kermorgant?
Saxondale Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Watched the lad at Peterborough the other season and he stood out by a mile. Not hard in that Peterborough side, though. Pacey and hard-working.
I am Rod Hull Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Transfer odds on Craig Mackail-Smith on Skybet - Leicester 2/5. Now I know that does not mean he is coming, but it does mean a lot of money has been bet on him coming. Indeed.. Remember Mark Hughes being 1-14 to be Villa manager ?
Bellend Sebastian Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 He must be good because I can actually remember him and it's not just because of his stupid hair. If you can get through the ale and burger stupor to make an impression on me you must be quite a player. It does sound like a lot of money though. I could buy a Liger for that, and probably a pretty good helicopter too
General Smuts Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Hi, i'm Ric Flair let me tell you where i'm at. Firstly, I was amazed to see that Mackail-Smith was still only 27. I thought he was nearing 30 so the fact he's still young is a plus point. He's also a player on the up, he's improving each season and you cannot argue with his goalscoring feats of last season. My concerns are that £3 million is a lot of dough for a League One player whose pedigree is St Albans City where he scored twice in 45 games and also a mediocre return at Dagenham and Redbridge in the Conference. DJ Campbell's failures at leicester has made me make comparisons with CMS and the wqorry that he'll turn up here and be as crap as he was when he played non-league football instead of performing like he's capable of doing at the level we're now at. I trust Sven though and I like Mackail-Smith's workrate and eye for goal. he could be superb at this level in the right set up and with the fans behind him. I'm prepared to put none of the money in myself but i'm happy to back him wholeheartedly should he sign. Speaking as a resident of St Albans. I could get into the St Albans City side and score 2 in 45. And i've got lovely hair like CMS. I smell a new career.
Samilktray Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Doesnt excite me too much. But dont think he'd be a bad signing
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 £3 million pounds is an unreasonably high figure to want for a player, who has no real experience of upper level football. He COULD prove to be a bargain buy, but he COULD also flop. If we are to spend a lot of money on a player, then really he should be proven at this level. I would take him for £1.5 million, but not a penny more
Joe. Posted 23 June 2011 Author Posted 23 June 2011 Whoever mentioned Billy Sharp earlier in the thread, I doubt anybody will be getting their hands on him. Southampton (apparently) have had a £3 million offer rejected for him, and he signed a new deal not so long back. Can't see anybody going much above that for him.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Ok got some info 3 Championship clubs have enquired about him and 1 prem club only Leicester have had a bid excepted for him posted in wrong page should be on yakubu on my phone doing this if you could move it for me
Kilworthfox Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Ok got some info 3 Championship clubs have enquired about him and 1 prem club only Leicester have had a bid excepted for him DO U MEAN ACCEPTED?
tylesta Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Ok got some info 3 Championship clubs have enquired about him and 1 prem club only Leicester have had a bid excepted for him this is already on wikipedia
Jon the Hat Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 crazy long before that That was a new level of crazy though. Especially given it was £10m above Darren Bent who has had 4-5 full seasons of decent goal return.
kevinwpratt Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 Having a medical this week according to a 'source' on Posh.com...............
I am Rod Hull Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 3 Million on this guy is an absolute waste. Indeed.. Waghorn would have scored as many goals as CMS did the way Posh played last season.... All out attack and fek trying to keep clean sheets.... Dont think he`d be any better than Wags....
crisp packet Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 All goals are the same size , same place on the pitch If your a goal scorer you score goals .... Forgot what level! He scores goals 35 last year any signing a gamble!
Tommy G Posted 23 June 2011 Posted 23 June 2011 If he's having a medical later this week then your mission liam is to hide at belvoir drive then do a keane vs haaland knee high challenge on him. Should put his medical in doubt. Woul rather have jeffrey boycott up front
