A few weeks back, Mackail-Smith said he would only leave Peterborough for a Premiership team, but according to Barry Fry, he's rejected moves to QPR and Norwich.

But now Leicester have had an offer accepted for him so if he's open to move to another Championship club, do you think we should make a move for him?

i would say yes, but with the amount of money Leicester have to spend on transfers and wages....would be very hard to compete with

The only way to find out what money he'd be requesting is to enquire and then we'd then know if we can compete. I think he'd be absolute dynamite for us.

obviously there is a limit but that will be between sven and the owners etc.. but they are not holding back and are being linked with most players at the moment.

then again...they brought in some good players last year and already had a decent squad, but it didn't quite work out for them. you would expect them to be in and around the play off spots.
