Hughton is keen to boost his side’s goal tally with Grant Holt having scored only four times this season. Mackail-Smith, 28, has reached double figures in the Championship.

York Canary 29 Posted December 30, 2012 Hmm..they''re definitely after strikers as Poyet admitted himself after the game against Watford. Would make sense to sell CMS and then use the money for those new strikers. Wouldn''t pay anything over £3m for him..he''d do the Holt role well I''d imagine and with more pace and energy, but obviously not the aerial threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted December 30, 2012 Not the best striker, but better than we have got perhaps in Kane, Morison and Jackson. More proven at least, £3M is probably a bit much at his age though, but hey, if it keeps us winning games I''ll trust Hughton! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted December 30, 2012 If we''ve got three million to spunk, I''d rather go for Austin or Billy Sharpe; Holt and Morison (and even Kane) all give us a presence but we really need a finisher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted December 30, 2012 Matej Vydra 20 yr old czech striker on loan at watford from udinese. Very quick and good finisher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 291 Posted December 30, 2012 Daily Mail reckons we''ll need to bid £3 Million for CMS but on a separate page are claiming Leeds will "need to bid £1.5 Million" to sign him. Seems to show what they know quite clearly (ie) Mr Jack Shit esquire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahogany 0 Posted December 30, 2012 I watched the Brighton Watford game yesterday and have to say CMS didn''t impress me at all. After a good start to the season his goals have dried up and on top of that he turns 29 early next year. Might have been worth a punt if he was 5 years younger.I''d rather have Danny Graham.

ZLF 334 Posted December 30, 2012 not sure that CMS is the answer but one these strikers has to be good enough surely?the ones we have are hardly setting the world alight this season are they?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drurys testamonials V 15 0 Posted December 30, 2012 Why? He''ll only be over-priced to sit on the bench as Holt''s sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted December 30, 2012 I''d so much rather we play Morison than CMS, Morison has actually proven himself in the PL.... Something many of our fans forget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeelansGlove 0 Posted December 30, 2012 CMS would fit the way we play much better than Morison. His work rate and touch are far better than Morison. For me Morison only really shines in 4-4-2 and looks lost upfront on his own. We looked much better yesterday when Kane came on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
