Mackail-Smith to Leeds rumour picking up...

[Icy Gull]

Im choosing to stick my fingers in my ears and go lalalala about this rumour

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I have an exceptional source that has just said CMS will leave for Leeds in a swap deal. This will be announced later today. I have absolutely no reason to doubt him.

My source is in the dark as there appears to be an embargo.

Just wait and see.....this isn't bollocks.

We are not getting McCormtwat are we - he is f***ing useless.

McCormack is one of several decent players at Leeds right now.

Warnock has said all along, McCormack is going nowhere unless it's a swap. Looks like this could be it, would be a shame to see CMS go as he is a top notch fella. On a footballing note, would be a solid bit of business.

 

[Solid at the back]

Would take Ross McCormack over CMS any day as much as I like CMS, RM is just better.

CMS for Mccormack & Becchio then ?

Can't happen until we sign a striker, Hoskins out. Toby too inexperienced, only Barnes as a striker and he plays a different role in the side, we can't lose CMS until we are certain of cover

 

[Silent Bob]

My concern with this deal is that Neil Warnock has got out of this division several times, and he thinks he'd rather have CMS.

I'd be less concerned if the Leeds manager was some clueless numpty like Steve Cotterill.

But Gus Poyet thinks he'd rather have McCormack.

That would be stunning.

Really? When did he say that?

 

[Simster]

Really? When did he say that?

Bob is talking hypothetically in response to my post.

But Gus Poyet thinks he'd rather have McCormack.

Yes I know, but as much as I love Gus, he has just one third division title under his belt, whereas Colin has done it all.

 

[Silent Bob]

Really? When did he say that?

Obviously going on the assumption that this rumour is true, as Simster was.

 

[severnside gull]

McCormack now reported on SKY saying he wants to stay at Leeds if a deal can be done........................... hmmmmmm

Leeds still awaiting a takeover so unless they splash all the cash from the Snodgrass deal they can't afford CMS - it's swop or no deal for them as far as I can see

 

[StonehamPark]

From latest Seagulls news, looks like CMS is definitely staying.

 

[severnside gull]

Becchio is certainly more the type of player you would expect Gus to look at to COMPLEMENT CMS but not to replace him.

I think the player who has impressed Gus more than any other as the ideal front man was Ricky Lambert over the last two years - someone who can boss defences and both create and take chances. Becchio clearly isn't as fat but he does have some of the same nuisance values to play alongside a CMS-type speedster

Also his twitter was claiming how much he was looking forward to the FDM game. Maybe I read to much into that.

Assumptions, not facts...

Fat Ricky barges away defenders with ease or they just bounce off of him.
