norfolkchance1 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Wonder if CMS will be happy that the price is now over £5m? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tricky974 61 Posted March 21, 2011 There are still rumors that a deal will be completed by thursdays deadline for loan signings for CMS as we have offered an extra £500,000 depending on promotion, but thats rumors for you as Chris Martin should be fully recovered from his injury maybe Lambert will go with him or maybe depending on how he performs for Canada in his international game Jackson.

TheGoogler 324 Posted March 21, 2011 Bristol Today have an article saying we''re "expected to try again" re: CMS. I personally think it''s just lazy journalism rather than something they know we don''t. I think the deal is dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted March 22, 2011 [quote user="Ncfc"]Martin does not bring goals to the team though , what we need is somebody who can put a chance away . That lad Swansea got in looked very classy yesterday , lets hope Lambert can pull something out of the hat by Thursday.[/quote]Find me a player who has played a similar number of games as Martin this season and who has hit double figures and maybe I will have a serious debate with you on this.Too many idiotic City fans writing Martin and Jackson off all season long when they have no idea how difficult it is to score goals in this league when you are played for 5 games and then dropped to the bench for 10. I really wish everybody would get a grip on realism with regards to this as we are not going to get a better striker than what we have here already without spending serious money.Save our money for the summer and spend £3 million to £5 million on a striker then if we have won promotion. We will get far more for our money that way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted March 22, 2011 NB - Similar amount of Championship games or higher that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 324 Posted March 22, 2011 Well Chrissy Martin has made 21 appearances, 9 as a sub in the league, scoring 4 goals. Michael Chopra has 25 appearances, 4 as a sub, scoring 9 goals. Jason Scotland has made 25 appearances and 7 as a sub, scoring 9 goals. Other than that, I can''t really see anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Noticing Ronnie Moore has left Rotherham, i wonder whether it has anything to do with Le Fondre. He seems always linked with speculation of a move and we are two days from end of loan window maybe they might cash in on him with a view to a permanent move in summer.Maybe Peterborough getting Le Fondre is the key to us getting CMS.

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Personally, I think something is still going on with this deal. I have no inside info or anything, I just think CMS will be here by Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted March 22, 2011 My mate sent David McNally a note on Twitter last night asking whether their was still a chance of us getting CMS by Thursday. He hasn''t responded to him yet, even though I just checked and he has been on the site since and answered other fans'' questions.Probably nothing in it, but thought I''d just say.

jedi 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Funny because a friend of the family who is friendly with Barry fry said today the deal is not dead yet, and peterborough have received another bid from norwich but whether its good enough I don''t know. So NOT saying he''s def coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,450 Posted March 23, 2011 Just wanted to point out that CMS has stopped tweeting. Last one was just after getting the player of the year award. This can only mean ONE OF TWO THINGS. A. He is about to sign for City, cue raucous cheering, ticker-tape, dozens of "I told you so''s" , canonization for McNasty , promotion and instant riches for us all2.

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted March 23, 2011 CMS wasn''t a regular tweeter anyway. Although he did regularly seem to get people (mainly Posh fans) asking him questions which he would answer. This stopped after our bid became public news.Also I said previously that a friend of mine had tweeted McNally asking if their was a chance CMS could be here by Thursday. My friend e-mailed me today to say (among other things) that McNally hasn''t responded to him, but has been on this site answering questions from other fans.Not sure whether anything can be read into this Twitter rubbish though.

It will be our loss if Culverhouse and Lambert are unable to get the best out of him and Jackson if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
