I used to really LIKE him, but that has given way to being frustrated at the way he has under-performed. However, if we sell him for £2.5 or less, it would be disastrous as there is no way we will get anyone better in. My gut feeling is that we are stuck with him unless a team like Norwich...

It depends on whether we have an adequate replacement lined up. It's no good selling him and bringing in Billy Paynter again.

Er, no it wasn't. The one yard out chance and the header standing on the goal line are the two proper chances you'd expect him to take one of. Edit: he also conceded the second goal by miscontrolling the ball from the throw-in like a child might have done.

Similar. Scores some top drawer goals that none of our other strikers are capable of, but I wouldn't trust him to put away the most simple of chances we create. Take Charlton - lovely finish for his goal, but what about the miss from 4 yards? But please do remember where we are at with him...

Don't worry. I doubt he went seeking him out to call him that to his face. He probably, you know, got frustrated* sitting in his seat watching CMS play like he is leading the line for a pub team. *LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

Well that is true I suppose, but I still maintain we'd look more threatening with Murray in the side than with CMS. I have to say, hans kraay fan club has nailed the real problem here. His biggest problem isn't the number of goals he's scored, it's his inability to control the ball first touch...

No more ridiculous than your tiresome oft-used defence which is to pop good old caps lock on without offering a coherent reason why you disagree. Ok, we can debate how many might have scored in this team. But he would definitely have scored a lot more than our labrador, for absolute certain.

I accept this, but a £3m striker should be putting away one if not two of those three presentable chances I'm afraid. CMS needs 8 or 9 before one goes in.

As I said on another thread, CMS is capable of some top drawer finishes, such as the ones you mention or that great equaliser at Wolves. However, I wouldn't trust him to put away the SIMPLEST of chances. All three of our other strikers are more trustworthy. And in case you hadn't noticed...

He missed from 1 yard last night. And from a header whilst literally standing on the goal line. And from 8 yards. Not that facts matter.

He was woeful tonight, truly dreadful. Let's hope the Norwich scouts weren't there. And I tell you how I judge him - he's not the worst at the club, but he cost us a fortune and with wages to match. He's crap. And Gus can be equally embarrassed. That bloke who scored for them and had most...
