I just want one that puts the ball in the net. CMS does enough running for everyone. But he is not quite in the right place at the right time at the mo.

He offers a different approach to Barnes and Hoskins and unless we are going to beak the bank for a Ricky Lambert type player we shall have to make do with him and what we have.

No better than Mark Farrington . Can't hold the ball up to bring midfield into Play. No shots on target in 3 games and can't win or challenge for headers , barnes much be gutted sitting watching on the bench

Well considering Hoskins has played less than a game for us all season due to injury, I can't for the life of me think why you are comparing anyone to him. He's not availalbe, cannot play at the moment, so i would have to say yes, Paynter at the moment is a better option than Hoskins. Barnes? I think he offers much much more than Barnes. Maybe you should be having a go at Poyet, who in your opinion must surely be doing something wrong if he's picking players that doesn't do anything!

I'm not Barnes biggest fan but he is considerably better than Paynter who looks way out of his depth at Championship level. No pace no movement, poor touch and barring one season at Swindon a pretty awful goal scoring record. At times it was embarrassing watching him attempt to run and for a so called target man he won f*** all in the air.

Dont like slagging off players at all, but i have to say Billy Paynter is NOT good enough for the championship i would say League 2 at absolute best.
It seems that at Brighton, we miss out on the good (often free agent strikers) like Lua Lua (Lomana) who trained with us in the Summer !!! Kev Phillips (wifey didnt wanna move South) and a host of other quality strikers all gone to Championship clubs for bugger all fees and affordable from our point of view on the wages front !!!!
Getting a tad frustrated now as i'm sure by the look on his face CMS is too with the service he "doesnt" get from our midfield too.
If we want to keep hold of players like him and Noone etc etc we will have to do something pretty special in the January transfer window, or we will be fighting a relegation battle come March /April.
Sad but true me thinks !!

I have to agree that Paynter has not looked like a Championship striker, but maybe all he needs is games. He hardly played for Leeds and has now only had three games for us. If our regular players aren't on their game, how can we expect a recent loan signing to be any different? I am willing to give the guy more time, but I do remember Leeds fans being happy that we took him.

Totally agree, my Leeds mate was right, he phoned me up asked me why we had got him on Loan, as he can't run, head, hold up, score, pass and I said I would form my own opinion, he was wrong, he is worst than that. Think also we have changed our style to play to his strengths, problem is, he does not have any ?. We need better quality up front to play with CMS, Hoskins anyone ?, or play 5 in midfield, noone, bridcutt, Vicente, Buckley, vincelot, with CMS up front.
Please Gus, send him back

Leeds fans told you he was s**t

He got injured in pre-season and then spent the rest of the time playing catch up and a bit part.
It was his THIRD start of the season and players are way ahead of him in terms of match practice, sharpness and so on.
To label him shit so early in his spell with us is perhaps unfair on him? Just a thought.

It will be interesting to see what happens when his loan ends.
