NickG Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 shows how stupid the idiots are saying we will regret not signing him! A team in 2nd in CCC, good chance of premiership next season, offering £3m cannot sign him. BUT Cortese and Adkins been criticised on here for not getting him to come to a team below Peterborough and their direct rivals for promotion!

Fair play to posh though, they know they're in with a shout of promtion so there holding onto him (and who can blame them).

Joe Kirkup Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 I was talking to some Posh fans in the pub at Peterborough the other week and they didn't rate him.

Well I guess they won't miss him when he's gone then will they.Every striker misses more than he scores otherwise there would either be zero chances or 15 goals a game. You only have to look at all the players that the football cognoscenti at SMS didn't rate to know that by and large football fans know absolutely f*ck all about players.

S-Clarke Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 He seems a decent pro - so I can't see him handing in a transfer request or anything, so I'm sure he'll see out the season there, score 30+ goals and then move on in the summer.

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 Mikail-Smith is so hacked off that he has scored the first of 3 so far tonight.

SamyCM Posted 15 March, 2011 Share Posted 15 March, 2011 We signed the leagues top two scorers last season. Trying to do it every season might be a bit over the top. I'm a bit embarrassed people think we can get him. They're our rivals, like it or not. If we go up maybe we could, but in January there was no chance and talk of it now is as likely as us loaning them Lallana. The think the point of thread was Norwich having a loan bid rejected and would have been nice for us if he left with the form he is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion would bring them increased revenues and they can still sell CMS a few days after the season ends anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion would bring them increased revenues and they can still sell CMS a few days after the season ends anyway. How many of their goals are scored/assisted by CMS, they've scored loads recently and maybe 1 in 3 or 4 is scored by him. It seems to me that Boyd has been scoring a lot (and he looked class against us as well, better all rounder than CMS on the day I thought) so they might gamble of getting the money in now. Obviously this wouldn't help us much if they carry on winning games 2-0 instead of 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we consider letting Ox or Lallana go out on loan right now ?? No we wouldn't, we're just a handful of games away from the end of the season, waiting on won't change the value of the player anyway ,it won't happen.

I presume Norwich would have to pay out a MASSIVE loan fee to take him now, for Peterborough to even consider it. Looks like P'Boro have rejected it anyway from my understanding but if N'aarch go back then who knows. N'aarch are looking to cement their play-off place so are desperate.

Anyone who's seen Peterborough recently can tell you their movement is excellent and he's the most mobile of all their attackers. It's often the space he creates by shifting about and pulling defenders with him that is exploited by their other attackers to score their goals. As a comparison, where would we be without Lallana holding up the ball for the rest of the team to join the attack, but how many of our goals does he actually score ?

Plus CMS is a very solid player who is also extremely quick,doesn't get barged off the ball easily and stays upright most of the time. If I were a Posh fan I'd be seriously ****ed off if they let him go with 10 games left to play and all to play for.We know he's going after the season ends anyway.....
