CMS and Chicksen relesaed by their clubs
- Thread starter goldstone
- Start date
With some of our fans penchant for old players, perhaps CMS could partner Muzza?

Really surprised about CMS.
As a player he oozes class. He can shuttle sprint with the best of them.
I foresee one of the massive Championship clubs snapping him up.

How soon is now?
I suspect Barry Fry will take care of him, keeping it in the family and all that.....

That should have happened in 2011. IMO we would have been in the PL 4 years earlier if it had. Thanks Gus.

What about views on Chicksen?
He was ok, so should get a club

Not for £3million we haven't.

PS: Murray scored 6 Championship goals in 2011/12 for Palace.
Didn't work out but there's no doubt that at the time we signed him he was a hot property that pretty much anyone would have wanted so that fee didn't look so stupid. He was on fire the previous season. I think what WAS stupid was signing a player that didn't fit into the style of play at all, and then making no attempt to tailor it to his strengths.

This. Did seem like The Second Coming at the time, on account of the fee and his apparent goalscoring PROWESS..
We all - including, crucially, those responsible for the signing - seem to have overlooked the fact that the bloke scored a shitload of goals for a kick'n'rush Peterborough side that wouldn't have looked out of place in a junior school playground. Didn't their stats the close-season we signed CMS read something like: Goals For: 99. Goals Against: 98? Can't be arsed to look up the stats but it was something really rubbish like that.

Hmmm it's easy to say that now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, is it not?

He had Zaha on the wing though. I agree he shouldn't have been sold but he might not have necessarily stepped up in that first season.

I was one of those who was excited when CMS signed for us. However, before his injury, in his two full seasons in the Championship (one for us, one for Peterborough,) he scored 21 goals at a rate of 1/3.5 games. Hardly prolific.
He's any example of a player who is fine at a lower level, but not good enough for the Championship. Will suit a club at a much lower level with a 'gung ho' approach (rather like Peterborough in their promotion season).

Without that injury, CMS would have been amazing, propelling us to the PL and probably keeping us there for years. Vardy-esque.
Far better than overrated Ulloa and Murray. To prove this, Murray didn't score a hatful in his first season for CP. It's annoying that people keep dragging up Murray's goals stats for CP and BHA in his other Championship seasons.
I'd love to know how many CHAMPIONSHIP goals, per league starts, CMS scored in his P'boro Chamionship season combined with those in his 2 seasons with us prior to his March 2013 injury. Shirley they will be far superior than those for Murray and Ulloa.
