Strange, l thought he had been doing well at Wycombe, although admittedly l haven't been checking his progress regularly.

Strange how his talent just seemed to evaporate outside of Peterborough. Did Gus break him ?
Signing for a club 8 points adrift of safety, club up for sale, on their 3rd manager this season, and playing for a chairman who gets his dick out on Twitter. Got to feel a bit sorry for the fella.

He had been doing okay, it's just that man mountain Akinfenwe, is more of a menace in that division.

I mean, he did wreck his knee completely pretty early on with us. So in a way, yes.

I found our buying of CMS really strange and it didn't work out well for either side. Gus seemed obsessed with signing him based on how he was performing from Peterbro - even to the point of letting Glenn Murray go as we weren't prepared to pay for both.
So we brought CMS in and then asked him to play in the Glenn Murray role which was ridiculous! It didn't work for us and it sure as hell didn't work well for him either. Square peg in a round hole.

Basically then, we ruined him.

Very good interview with him on Albion Unlimited last week.

Talks about how the pressure of the price tag affected him as did the terrible injury.

He always seemed a pretty decent bloke, used to run his arse off, a shame it has never quite clicked for him after Peterborough.
A terrific overhead kick at Burnley, though.

Interesting point of view. I never looked at it that way
Why would you ask a player who couldn’t control a ball
to hold the ball up
I don’t think I’ve seen a striker at championship level
with such a bad first touch I think that was his problem
Nice bloke though who tried his best
Saying that he scored a cracker away at Derby with a first time strike
which was handy for him he didn’t try to control it
Not one of our best signings IMO

Shocking footballer, would struggle to control a bag of cement.
2nd touch was always a tackle.

CMS- is now your archetypal journeyman, thoroughly likable, incredibly hardworking and fans have probably judged his time with us a little harshly. You could blame us and particularly GP for his decline but he never regained the momentum he had at Peterborough. It could be why Bloom is averse to buying Football League players.

Should have played to his strengths? Whatever that was.

The tone of conversation about CMS seems to decrease every time he pops up. To counter, I'd like to tell you all to shut up with the negativity about him. He had a terrible time with us but he never lacked for passion, desire or work ethic. There are a lot of players who have been signed before and since who showed less than a tenth of his determination. It didn't work out here and that's extremely disappointing for everyone concerned, but there's really no need to keep kicking him.

I wish him well and would love to see him banging in the goals against lowly 4th tier clubs.

Well seeing as how we bought him off the back of a season that saw Peterborough play a particularly head-mental form of kick and rush (Goals For: 106, Goals Against: 75) hard to see how ANY manager outside of a Junior School League could have arranged their team to play to his skills.
