david in sweden Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 (edited) Taking a quick look back to all those names that flew around early season (and we didn't buy) I thought I 'd see what they got up to... Craig Machail-Smith (from P'boro to Brighton) fee £2.5 -3.25 mill. to date 9 goals in 35 games Jermaine Beckford (Everton to Leicester) £2.5 ? to date 8 goals in 33 games Lukas Jutkiewicz (Coventry to Middboro) £1.3 to date 2 goals in 13 games Nicky Maynard (Bristol City to WHam) £5 mill.? to date 2 goals in 13 games Sam Baldock (MKDons ? -WHam) £ ?????? to date 5 goals in 21 games which makes : Billy Sharp (Doncaster to SAINTS) £1.8 mill to date 7 goals in 13 games .....look like quite a good deal. The ones who stayed: Rhodes (still at Huddersfield) unlikely to get up to Npc AGAIN! (tough on them) has managed 36 goals so far. Jay Rodrigues has scored 17 goals for Burnley (but has an unimpressive 31 goals in 104 games career figs. (very average strike rate). Gary Hooper (Celtic) has scored 18 times in 32 games Let's see who we go for in the summer! Edited 20 April, 2012 by david in sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 It's impossible to say what any of these players might have been doing for Saints when they were got up to our standard fitness and gelled into our squad properly. Look at the turnaround Sharp has made since his earlier games for us. He could have easily just continued that way without good fitness and man management.

UNbelivable that any club would sign him with his injury record and pay demands, isn't he meant to be on £60k a week at QPR? He's hardly played in about 8 seasons.

Professor Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 My BHA supporting friends are very disapointed in CMS. I'd have been quite happy if we had signed him last August as he looked so good at Posh. Maybe he would have done better here than he has at Brighton, but its not as if he's been playing in a really poor team since Brighton have scored over 50 goals. Its just that not many of them by have been by Craig. A good one to have avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant possibly say that cos you just dont know what Adkins and his coaching staff might have done to turn a raw 18 year old into a bloody fine player. He was good for us, better than he has been anywhere else. Coincidence or not ? Who knows but I just dont understand this mentality that slags him off whenever possible.

No doubt he wants to stay with us but if we tried to sell him to a drosspile like Burnley he'd go to Villa or Rennes or Lille or one of the other clubs that have enquired about him. Can't see it being Cork either. Having said that if we signed JRod that would leave us with an impressive pile of strikers for next season,unless we're going to convert Tad into something else.

eesti matty Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I remember that back in 99 we tried to sign David Wetherall from Leeds. He was reluctant to move down from the north and opted to join Bradford. We then signed Dean Richards instead and he gave us two seasons good service and we made a tidy profit out of him. It's a real shame what happened to him. Also, I remember when we nearly signed a guy called Matt Piper from Leicester? He joined Sunderland, but then had to retire because of injury.
