Would be a brilliant signing. Doubt it's true though.

Can play on wing also, but would mean that apart from Earnshaw, everyone else is fighting it out for a starting spot.
 
who?

I can categorically discredit this rumour.

The entire Posh squad, including Mackail-Smith, flew out yesterday for a training camp in Marbella.

I heard Notts were after this Striker from Peterborough on Talk Sport last night...

Are you not thinking the brilliant striker being McClean who is rated around £3million and wanted by Wolves? :D

In fact, here are pictures...

...I think someone is getting the fact that he sat out the training session with a slight injury a bit confused.

Rene Howe is the fella who Notts want.

Mackail-Smith scored plenty last season and has been linked with big money moves to all sorts of CCC clubs.

we dont need league one strikers

Next season he will be playing against us in the champiobship not league 1!!!
I remember noticing he had a great goalscoring record in league 2 when posh went up then last year I think he scored 4 in a cup game and it reminded me of him. I believe he netted over 20 last year along with striking partner McClean. He would be someone I would consder...
But it seems unlikely

26 goals to be precise.

not a chance,


Hes rated by posh as £5 million

I cant see it being true and also posh may rate him 5m...well fat fry said he wants 5m for him but will posh get that? i dont think so..maybe 2m upfront with add-ons etc

no idea, but he is better than Tyson and Adebola..

Its none, he has spent his entire career playing lower league and non-league football.
You wouldn't compare a left back to a centre back, so why compare Adebola to Mackail-smith?. Different types of players completely. I'd rather have Adebola as he has proven he can score goals at this level and he is a target man that we lack.
We need to be looking at quality proven strikers at this level, like Blackstock.

Oh just posted in wiffy transfer bollocks, I hadn't seen this. I asked my mate who lives in Peterbroough and is a Posh fan about this guy, he seems to think we have bid around 1Million for him, and his exact description of him was 'He scores goals, fair do's it he will score 1 chance out of twenty, but he scores goals.'

Doesn't sound great...

thats just it they don't want/ need to sell him there one of the wealthiest teams in this league, i remember celtic enquired about signing all 3 of their strikers and were quoted 15 million for them

Also doesn't take into account that he has the kind of work-rate unheard of in a modern footballer.

I defy anyone to find a single player in the Championship who will work harder or run further than CMS will do this season.

Sorry but you are wrong, Cox just gone to WBA, the likes of Ian Wright from non league to Palace and goals galore, the lad Knightly at Wolves....There are plenty of examples of players who have come through from lower leagues and upped their game to the required level. Who is to say that this lad is not one of them?

He is no more or less proven than Garner or MaCleary etc or than Prem league reserve players who have played nothing but reserve football then come on loan. You have to trust the manager, he actually does know what he wants and is talking about.

That's a fair comparison. But having seen alot of both of them, I'd say Mackail-Smith just edges Cohen.

Does this just mean he has a worse first touch?
