To leeds being tweeted by sky@SkySportsPeteO: Sky Sports understands Leeds are closing in on a deal for Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith. #LUFC #BHA Leeds close on Mackail-Smith | Football News | Sky Sports

Unless we break even or get a profit, I don't see why Gus would sell.

 

[Waynflete]

This is very bad news

The rumour is slowly picking up, I really don't want to see him leave. Especially with Hoskins out and there isn't many rumours flying around for a replacement.

Have dismissed all the talk of CMS going to Leeds up till now. But Sky Sports and that PeteO chap don't seem to usually get much wrong.

FFS. There have been more than meets the eye with regard to his 'injury' last week then. This would be a fairly large blow.

 

[Worthingite]

If it's the right money, and we were working on the right replacement, then yes. Much as it'd be a wrench to see him go, he clearly loves the club and the fans, I just can't help but think that he's not the 20+ a season striker we need for the big push

 

[nevergoagain]

This is not good, even if it meant Mccormack coming the other way. Would still leave us needing another striker.

Says we are waiting to get a replacement in first. Lets see who this is. All sounds IMMINENT.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Swap for McCormack is good business.

It says at bottem of article that poyet won't sell cms untill he has his target man signed

Says we are waiting to get a replacement in first. Lets see who this is. All sounds IMMINENT.

So, it's seemingly not a swap deal.

Noooooo

I love CMS, I will be absolutely devastated if he leaves.

We are announcing a new signing after 1pm today so it may all come together.

 

[The Terminator]

Cant see Gus letting him go without adequatet replacement(s)

We are announcing a new signing after 1pm today so it may all come together.

and where are you getting that from?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

We are announcing a new signing after 1pm today so it may all come together.

Which therefore suggests the announcement is a striker... so not Crofts.

 

[jameswestport]

cant say that im dissapointed. if we signed a suitable replacement i think it would be a step forward for the club. he'l never shine for us. hopefully we'll sign cox.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Great, he can't shoot with his left & can't head the ball, we need better if we have any ambition

 

[StonehamPark]

What happened?!? Quiet all week and them BOOM!!
