Albion 'fear' Norwich will return for Mackail-Smith

[Marxo]

That from the Argus. This really gets up my nose. If we 'fear' them coming in for him then that means we want to keep him, if we want to keep one of OUR players then surely another team will have to pay a very substantial fee or they won't get him. So where's the fear coming from? Really really annoys me!!!

Naylor is on a personal vendetta to use scare tactics against NSC

I wouldn't be suprised to see Gus test the water with playing Dobbie up front with a loan striker to come in (Chris Wood?) to see if we could sell CMS without any massive detrimental impacts- I see Dobbie as a like for like replacement for CMS.

If we are near/in the play-offs with CMS banging them in then no chance we would let him go, it will be an Eliott Bennett situation and we'll let him go at the end of the season, for a lot of money if he gets us promoted.

Gus has ALWAYS said if a player wants to move on to further their career he will not stand in their way.

Could be the same agreement as with Bennett again, a deal agreed in January that he will stay with us until the end of the season then move on.

8 Million then we might start talking....

Yes, we will say f*** off...;-)

 

[Biscuit]

If we don't need to sell, which we don't, then I'd want us to hold out for an incredibly good fee. He is, after all, our player.

 

[slinky]

simple, he is under contract....

Now f*** OFF Norwich.....

See that's not complicated!!!

If CMS continues his form for the rest of the year, then surely his price is going to rocket come January compared to what it was over the summer. Norwich could well be struggling in the Prem by then and it may not look quite such an appealing move to him

 

[finlaych]

We'll keep him thanks

 

[junior]

How old is he? If he is 28/29 like i have in my head that he is, i'd quite happily sell him on at the end of the season for the 2.5mil we paid for him as he is only going to go down in value now due to age.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Those goals on Saturday have increased his price.

f*** OFF NORWICH.

Andy Naylor = Scare tactics/Fear Mongering = Prize plank

 

[Blackadder]

Agree that CMS may be given the option to move to Norwich at the end of the season. Whether he wants to drop down a division is another matter!

 

[Pole in Goal]

I wouldn't rule anything out, in the past we have waited til the end of the season to finish the deals and this time, rather than in the Crofts, Benno and Noone situations, we could be in the Prem. That would mean Norwich would be less appealing, and if CMS keeps on scoring, there could be bigger clubs than Norwich after him.

For once though, if he did leave, which I would be gutted about, we do have other quality options as well as signing a target man

Assuming CMS wants to leave.

Naylor. The man who seems to know nothing, and has very little journalism skill.

Todays news, tomorrows chip paper.

 

[Gritt23]

Let's be realistic here, EVERYONE is available at a price, and likewise there is ALWAYS going to be a wage that turns a players head. That isn't just teh case with us, it;s the case with all clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But the Albion "fearing" the interest is just troublemaking IMHO. We will have a valuation of CMS - and it is currently going up I'd say - but if someone matches it, then we'd accept it. No need to fear that, just ensure the valuation is on the high side, so that we would get good value for money.

yes! - and why does Naylor think we have "an anxious wait" until January?

I think the main issue is that they could probably treble his wages like they did with Benno.

Clubs talk to agents so CMS will be made aware of what he could earn if he went to them.
