    Alan Biley - by the time he joined a skint Albion, he was a washed out has been, more interested maintaining his peroxide mullet.

    :thumbsup: Every opponents central defence once we went up to the Championship, seemed to have two Duffy/Dunk units, tall, powerful, with pace and a footballing brain. Out thought and out powered little CMS. To prosper at higher levels with that time of personal game and size, the player needs...

    What we do know is that CMS before his injury, had the likes at different times of Vicente, Buckley, Orlando, Lopez, Bridge, LuaLua, Calderon, Barnes and Noone as team mates. All good to outstanding players, and one way or another creators in games. CMS only scored 21 league goals over 63...

    CMS's CHAMPIONSHIP goals scoring record was: Peterborough - 10 league goals in 43 league starts (long before an injury & in a team playing kamikaze football ideal for CMS) Brighton 2011/12 and 2012/13 - 21 goals in 81 appearances all competitions (before injury) = 31 goals over almost three...

    Not Championship quality, especially top of Championship quality. Poyet blew £2.5m of TB's money on that, whilst arrogantly refusing Muzza a pay rise. CMS was/is by all accounts a lovely bloke, he always gave his best and good luck to him.
