Sim086 0 Posted May 29, 2011 [quote user="Mervmeister"]Thought he looked ace again today!! Yes missed 2 chances. Early one he shew great pace and did everything right, would have been goal if not for immense defending. 2nd chance he admiteed hmself he thrashed at, but he never let it bother him. Worked his socks off and for me would be best striker at this club. People saying he aint good enough but some of those saying this want cody mac to be given a chance lol. You really think Cody would hit over 30 goals at League 1 level? lol Be realistic guys, there arent gonna be many (if any) better strikers within our range, i''d take him in a heart beat. Poss too late now we signed Vaughan tho as I think Lambert will want a player similar to Holt for his other striker signing (Morrison)[/quote]best striker at our club? jog on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mervmeister 18 Posted May 29, 2011 Who is better then mate? Simeon? lol cus his goal scoring record was as good as mackails in league 1? lol. Mackail -> Simeon, Mackail -> Martin, Mackail -> Vaughan. Holt completely different striker and can''t really be compared. I know who i''d rather Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I''d still have him here but Delboy Fry needs to realise that, even with promotion to the Championship, CMS is still not worth £3m.Vaughn cost us "in excess of £1.5m" so there is no way Posh can ask for anymore than that. I think I''d be more inclined to say leave him for now and monitor his progress until january. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mervmeister 18 Posted May 29, 2011 Depends which Simeon turns up next season. Remember 90% of people on this site were slating him before he hit some late form. Its not being disrespecful, its called having an opinion. I never said Holt and Jackson were crap, just said IMO i''d have Mackail. Now if something is wrong with that then maybe I should leave this forum as I would disagree with people biting my arse off for having a different opinion to some others.

CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted May 29, 2011 according to their chairman after the game he will be leaving, 11 clubs have made bids a few championship and prem teams , but he wants it to turn into a bidding war Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,777 Posted May 29, 2011 Fry said in interview on 5 Live after the match that the Chairman has promised CMS, Joe Lewis and George Boyd that they can all go this summer, they won''t stand in their way, "as long as the money is right". No opinion on CMS really, as others have said he must be third striker on shopping list now, and would mean a major clear out at Carra Rudd - think his coming is looking more remote - unless Morrison doesn''t sign.

[:D] [/quote]--- Paul, I doubt Peterborough expect £3m from a Championship side now. When we were interested it was a seller''s market. We wanted to strengthen our push for promotion. And Peterborough could ask a high price for that reason, and because they could argue selling him would damage THEIR promotion chances. As, as it turned out, it would have done. Fry was actually right to say he wouldn''t have accepted £5m. Everyone goes on about the financial rewards of going from the Championship to the PL, but it pays to go from League One to the Championship. Peterborough could probably accept £1m for CMS now (compared even to £5m) and still be in profit because the promotion he''s helped get them will make up the difference.

ron obvious 1,601 Posted May 29, 2011 People keep going on about the number of goals he''s scored. That does not tell the whole story. Quality over quantity every time. As you go up the divisions you need more & more variety & subtlety to your game to score consistently. Ther''ve been a lot of strikers who''ve started off brightly, but faded once the other teams have worked them out. CMS just looks a bit one dimensional (well two - hard work & pace).

When he last played in the Champs, he scored all of 10 goals in about 40 games. That does not augur well for the Prem, where as you say, versatility in goalscoring is key.

@jayncfc 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I really cannot believe that people think from one game in which he scored a (lucky?) goal but missed two chances that all of a sudden we are far better than him! He wants to go, there are a few clubs interested, but he wants to go. He is now worth probably £2m + add ons. He is still a prolific goalscorer and I would be very happy to see him here!

I think 10 is a good return from a team that did awful, finished bottom and went through 4 managers.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted May 29, 2011 I cannot believe some of the things I am reading on here about goalscorers!"Quality over quantity every time" ......... are you serious? Are you saying you would prefer a striker who gets 10 goals a season with tremendous drives from outside the box or one that scores 20 when a few go in off his arse? 10 goals are 10 goals 20 is 20 and it''s goals that count! You keep your 10, I''ll have the 20. Some people are just natural goalscorers."I absolutely agree. CMS does not score quality goals, most being from only a few yards, and virtually nothing with his head." ........... I believe there was a chap called Lineker a few years back ...... he didn''t score too many headers and I think I can remember an England hattrick from inside the the 6 yard box ..... he would call them ''proper'' goals and I would not disagree. His 48 international goals and goals for Leicester, Everton, Barcelona and Spurs weren''t perhaps ''quality'' goals but ............ they were goals.Depending upon price, sign him and if CMS can score goals, personally, I wouldn''t care how he scored them.

ron obvious 1,601 Posted May 29, 2011 Picking over the exact no. of goals is irrelevant. There are too many variables.Obviously a decent striker will get well into double figures in the lower leagues. The nature of the goals is much more informative, however.Malcolm Macdonald was one of the worst English strikers I ever saw. He scored 5 goals against Cyprus.
