QPR boss Neil Warnock wants to give Craig Mackail-Smith a Premier League chance.

The Peterborough United striker is on QPR’s hitlist after scoring 32 goals in all competitions for Posh so far this season.

The promotion hopefuls have told Mackail-Smith they will not block him from leaving this summer.

And Warnock hopes to snap him up in the coming weeks.

YES PLEASE! Works just as hard as Mackie ( But imo Mackie is better attacking midfield anywhere from left, centre or right )

Graham and Craig Mackail-Smith would be a dream, both have stupid goal scoring rates in there leagues and the goal is the same size in every single league!

Not that excited we need 2 proven strikers with PL experience and someone like Graham or CMS should be back up IMO..won't happen mind but thats what we need.

£3m. Not going to happen.

The goals may be the same size but the players defending them are 10 times better in the Premiership than lower leagues,sorry a 26 year old league 1 striker does not excite me,Graham is borderline, we need proven prem class not maybes.

I am sure Rio Ferdinand & Co won't lose any sleep on the night before they face Mackail-Smith.

He's a typical Warnock type player, works his socks off and has a great attitude on and off the pitch. I hope its true as well, as i can see him and his work rate being a massive success in the prem.

some of our favourite players have been in the CM-C mould, Ainsworth, Penrice, Mackie to name three, bring it on gaffer

Adam had 60 appearances for Rangers and only cost £500k.

CMS will cost £3m, and that is far too much.

Adam was always rated. Shipped around due to attitude problems when he was younger - massive rows with McCoist.

Rangers have a ridiculously large sell on clause (similar to the Taarabt one) - one of the factors why Adam didn't move in January.

CMS just isn't good enough. Never really performed in the Championship last time round and has only had 6/10 season in League 1. £3m is probably Barry Fry talking his usual b0ll0cks but even £1m is too much for CMS.

Couldn't agree more. If we have a budget of £5m it wd be crazy to blow anything like £3 on a League 1 player who as Nodge said hardly set the Championship alight let alone the Prem. If we cd get DJ Campbell who is now a proven Premiership striker for £1m why wd we pay three million for a player two divisions below?
