Ah you know what I mean, freeing up wages etc.

Agree with all of that. Still very disappointed that we sold the one player who would've been the PERFECT foil for CMS, to pay for CMS. Oh well.

Yup, but it is understandably going to alter people's expectations, when he was hailed as the big money marquee signing of the summer.

But when you spend the amount of money we spent on CMS, you do expect a better return than from Barnes (£50k) and Harley (£300k?)

Using simple logic, CMS having a comfortably better season playing in the same sort of system WILL require him to have a greatly improved first touch. Can you improve your first touch that much at his age?

It's been Gus's mantra since day one, I'm just reminding people of what he said. To suit CMS perfectly, we would have to completely overhaul our playing style.

We aren't going to change our patient build up play. Simple as that.

Barnes has a comfortably better first touch than CMS.

A million times this. We will continue playing the same way, and we will continue to improve at it. Been the same since day ONE with Gus here.

Do you really see Gus changing his entire lifetime's football philosophy - patient, intelligent passing football - to suit one middling Championship player? I don't see us becoming Kick'n'Rush anytime soon.
