Jon the Hat Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Adrian Durham (talksport & posh fan) is of the opinion he chose Brighton over us as poyet told him they wanted to build their side around him and he was gauranteed more game time than here If he wants it on a plate then fine. Top Class strikers don't worry about whether they will play or not, they have confidence in their ability to get in the team and score.
tomtom Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 More game time than here? How many strikers are we signing? Very strange I agree, but that's what he said! Maybe with nugent signing and playing 4-3-3 he wasn't guaranteed to always start
absolutelegend Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 if CMS signs then great. If not then we wish him the best wherever he goes and we move on to somebody else. It's not as though he's the only striker out there in our price bracket. Personally, I don't blame him in taking a bit of time to weigh up his options. I would if I were him.
cc_star Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 If he goes to Brighton and not us or west ham do we think he's bottled it a little bit. Lot of pressure at both clubs this year and alot of expectation on him. Brighton are now super-rich and are being bank-rolled to the Premier league There will be practically as much pressure there Perhaps the appeal lies at being at the start of something big, with their new ground and desire to go all the way... Plus Poyet is no mug As far as I can tell, we've put a compelling offer together, which sounds like it has the best payment terms to Pboro, however the player himself seems to favour WestHam, perhaps he has family down there from his Dagenham days, plus they're favourites for the Prem and along with their rich history and 60,000 seater stadium it's all too much to ignore. Brighton's rich owner however has put the cat amongst the pigeons
Stevosevic Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 If he goes to Brighton it highlights his lack of ambition IMO. He's 27 now, and his next move will probably determine whether he ever plays in the Premiership, so surely us or West Ham would give him the best chance.

Marmite Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Still think he has bottled it, the pressure to fire Leicester or West Ham into the premiership was too much.

kingfox Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Might aswell move for someone else if he can't make his mind up. Get Maynard back on the radar or get in Billy Sharp, forget Ched Evans his wack.
Jon the Hat Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 I have a feeling he will be a City player very soon. No source, just a feeling.
Ricey Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 From what I've heard, he's either very close to joining Brighton or is pissing them about as much as he did us. Before anyone asks, can't give my source but it's the usual friend of a friend, confident they are reliable though.
cc_star Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Why are people saying or agreeing Brighton lack ambition They've a very rich owner (about half as rich as ours) who wants to bankroll them into the Premier League & along with their new ground things are looking rosey for them I'd like to think we'll be comfortably above them in the pecking order & we probably will be, but they certainly don't lack ambition
Tommy G Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Liam is getting quite aggressive now on twitter about CMS now...so funny! ''Any news it's getting silly now''
Liamlcfc1 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Liam is getting quite aggressive now on twitter about CMS now...so funny! ''Any news it's getting silly now'' i wouldnt say it was aggressive just need to know like we all do
Joe. Posted 4 July 2011 Author Posted 4 July 2011 Brighton are one of the most ambitious outfits in the league right now - but we are already a step ahead of them without doubt. I'd fully understand if he chose West Ham or QPR ahead of us, but not them. We'll see anyway, I don't blame the bloke for weighing up all of his options.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Darren_Can Darren Can#WHUFC and #Leicester have had bids accepted for #Posh striker Craig-Mackail Smith. #Brighton had a bid rejected. Decision now with player

I wouldn't join any firm until consulting all offers - if anything out of courtesy. Plus it sounds like he has a family to consider and their needs and interests to meet. Chill out team
Simmo86 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 The tweet below, from that fat gobshite moose talksport reckons his source has told him CMS to Brighton all signed and sealed!
Simmo86 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Whats the longest ever thread on FT? In recent memory for a player its EFD
FrankieADZ Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 if this deal goes tits up I just hope we better irons in the fire.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 talkSPORTDrive talkSPORTDrivedefinitely definitely cms to brighton, just on the phone now. ad
80footgiraffe Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 I wouldn't listen to talksport, they honestly don't know anything about this transfer.
