Nick Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Don't listen to the haters Bertie, this place wouldn't be the same without your info. I agree. Bert's not right every time. His information is as good as that which is passed to him, which is always subject to change. I am eager to hear anything that gets pushed his way. I'm certainly not into having a go at him for any reason - Bert's a nice guy. We once had access to information from a different source who no longer posts due to people getting a little pre-occupied with his identity and sources. Can't we just take things at face value? Bert's info seems pretty good to me 80% of the time. I'd be happy with that kind of win rate at the bookies. It's fine to disagree but I draw the line with the handbags going on in this thread. People need to get a bit of perspective and take some breaths before keyboard warriorship takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escos Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 There are rumours going around that both us and West Ham pulled out of signing him due to his demands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If true then let the greedy shit stay at Peterborough. Go all out for maynard and nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 To be fair to Bert, anything can happen with transfers these days with agents disrupting and influencing deals. It may well have been pretty much agreed but if the agent has suddenly got a late offer in I'm sure he'd want to explore it before his client signs on the dotted line.

Hack Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 You heard something or you just hoping? Just hoping that with all the player speculation over the last week and with Sven saying he wants his squad together ASAP, I would assume someone would be announced today, normally via a press conference.

Len Finsbury Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If he does go to Brighton, let's not turn into those sour faced mouth breathers from north of the border and behave like they did when they lost out on Danns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Bert did say that something would need to go seriously wrong to make this not happen but he also said you never know! This is purely down to CMS and what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 As far as I know bert doesn't live with CMS so he can only report what the club are hearing, even Sven won't know exactly what is going on at all times. Berts info is a big part of what makes this site so exciting so stfu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Would be quite ammusing if his greed, if that is the case, scupper's moves to WestHam and us. If that was to be the case i'd say he should reconsider his agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thybluefox Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If us and West Ham have told him where to go after getting too greedy, then I'll laugh my head off. How he could pick Brighton over West Ham (or us) is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamlcfc1 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Still set for LCFC say Peterborough today http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/posh_accept_west_ham_bid_for_mackail_smith_1_2831093 Published on Monday 4 July 2011 10:19West Ham United have had a bid for sought-after Peterborough United striker Craig Mackail-Smith accepted. The Hammers - hot favourites to win the Championship next season after their relegation from the Premier League - have been linked with Mackail-Smith for several weeks and finally made their move just before the weekend. Their successful bid is thought to be for in the region of £3 million. They are the second ambitious Championship club to have a bid for Mackail-Smith accepted after Leicester City. Posh have not accepted an offer from League One champions Brighton for Mackail-Smith , although Seagulls manager Gus Poyet insists he has not given up hope of landing the 27 year-old. Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said: “We have now accepted two bids for CMS - from West Ham and Leicester. “It’s now down to the player and the clubs where he signs. Brighton came to the table with a strong offer but it wasn’t anywhere near as strong as Leicester.” Mackail-Smith is understood to have held talks with Leicester manager Sven Goran Eriksson on Friday. Sources in Leicester claim Mackail-Smith is expected to complete a move to the Foxes in the next few days, but West Ham’s successful bid appears to change the landscape. Poyet said: “Have Peterborough actually said they have rejected our offer? It’s not in my hands, it appears to be in Leicester City’s hands, but the fact that we are going up against clubs like West Ham and Leicester proves our own ambition.” Posh director of football Barry Fry revealed recently that Mackail-Smith has already turned down the chance to join Premier League newcomers Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers this summer. The claims about the Canaries were actually refuted by their chief executive David McNally who insisted the Norfolk club had ended their interest back in March when failing to prise Mackail-Smith away from Posh on loan.

How he could pick Brighton over West Ham (or us) is beyond me. Problem is we will never find out if this is the case.The player won't admit it and if either club does it will be branded as sour grapes.Whatever has happened CMS will come out of this looking like a hero who just wanted to play football.

cc_star Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Peterborough need to get this sewn up so they can identify targets & no how much they have to spend on fees + wages themselves, along with getting them in to their training ground in ample time like all clubs should be striving to do. Hopefully the situations is clearer in the next couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Out of the three strikers we are linked wth ( Nugent, Maynard and CMS) then this is the guy i would be least dissapointed with if we didnt sign him. In fact i think i would even prefer the Koran guy to CMS. Thats not to say i would be upset if we DID sign him.... hes jut not the best (IMO) out of the bunch we are chasing, thats all...

roblcfc84 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If he goes to Brighton and not us or west ham do we think he's bottled it a little bit. Lot of pressure at both clubs this year and alot of expectation on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
