He worked under four!
He's just not good enough for the Championship. Even when he went back to Peterborough mid season, he was poor.

Well maybe he could just stroll around the centre circle, whilst we sort of wave our hands goodbye
I have this image of him standing on a Lazy Susan on the centre circle and Calde gently rotating him to the roar of the crowd.

KLL's decline is bizarre, he was probably one of our best players under Hyppia (not saying much) but since Hughton has arrived he just doesn't look bothered.

The "rest" have NOT been released !! They all remain except McCourt, Masiamenko, CMS, Augustein and Hughes

He did. And they all prefered a lone striker. Even the man who brought him in, never used him to his strengths. Unfortuantely we will never know how good CMS could have been for us, as he was never played in a style that suited him.
I bet deep down he is kicking himself for falling for Gus' bullshit, and will probably wonder for the rest of his life, "what if" I joined a club that played me in a pair with a target man. I for one will be following the rest of his career with great interest, just a shame at 31, his best years are behind him. Such a waste of a great striker.

CMS goes out with a BHA career goals-per-game of just about 1 in 5....

I would imagine for the right price anyone is available but the trick is getting money for the ones we don't want and keeping the ones we do

But I also said "I thought he was ok."
I'm not a mind reader so just saying "Seriously??" doesn't point to anything specific in what I wrote.

Properly amazing, the number of Brighton fans, who STILL cling to the belief that CMS is a good footballer who has just been 'used wrong', despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I sort of see the logic, but if he'd be lucky to earn 5k a week in L1 then you'd be hoping that the 250k offer you're looking for comes from a club willing, or able, to at least match it themselves otherwise why would he go?
Even at a reduced wage that he likely wouldn't accept, there's still a high level of risk there that you'll just end up blocking out a chunk of wage budget for no reason. As an additional potential problem, if he didn't go in the next window, would you then wait for a bigger offer in the next one (to recoup the wages now spent) or cut your losses?
Safest bet all round was to release him.

He is different now to how he was before he got injured. Since being injured he has lost pace and confidence on the ball.
Before he got injured he was a good footballer capable of scoring 12 goals in an average Championship season and more in a better/luckier season.
He remains one of my favourite players because he scored some great goals and is clearly an exceptionally good bloke.

Oi.
Sure, he can't control the ball, or shoot, or take on a man, or play with his back to goal, or head it.
But, apart from that, he is pretty decent.
Joking aside, I like the bloke. I can't EVER, as a fan, have any sort of grudge/hatred against a player who tries THAT hard. But it just didn't work.
He played 3 full Championship seasons before he got injured, and never scored 12 goals in any of them.
Nobody mentioned a grudge. He's clearly a good bloke and a great pro. I'm just glad we don't have to PAY him past the end of this season.

Id be happy with a striker that got 6 goals a season at the moment
I will be very interested to see where he ends up and how he does

In fairness, anyone who can score 35 goals in League 1, must be a fairly good footballer. Not many have matched that. He done okay in his first season with us.
No you wouldn't.

When was the last time Casper played out of curiosity?
Agree with all the releases. Calderon will be manager one day, we can dream.
