MACKAIL-SMITH (Peterborough)

Thu May 19, 2011 8:44 pm

Looks like a hard working, honest striker, who knows where the back of the net is! He's scored 34 goals this season!

How much do you think a player like him could be bought for???

Didn't fry say 10m :lol:

I think 2m would get him but i don't see us spending money like that.

that's a hell of a record.
we could probably get him for 2.5m + add ons

I doubt he's gonna wana come here though warnock will be more than keen to give him a go so would holloway if blackpool survive

Can't see us spending that sort of money on someone like that.

The problem is, if we go after Prem players (out of contract, or whatever) will we just be left with a team of premadonas who think they're too good for teh championship - ie. Jay Emmanuel Thomas ?

Maybe the lower leagues and/or bringing players through the youth team is the way to go?

You look at players like Farah and Joe Ralls (highly rated by all accounts?) - Jones never seemed to want to give these a go, and with no reserve team it makes it hard for these to break through (I know Annis' feeling on this!! :lol: )

It will certainly be an interesting team line up come next year...

Does anyone know much about these Accademy players, or any others worth breaking through into the first team?
