Why the bloody hell would we do that?

Cos RM is a much much better player than CMS

You are a fool. If he is better than our very own CMS then why is the tug of war for his signature
between Palace & Huddesfield? And not the top clubs

Huddersfield are a big club, probably as big as us, Palace are irrelevant

Okay, so when CMS was up for grabs why was there premier league clubs and top championship clubs after him, and RM only Huddesfield. Get a grip.

No, they really are not. Decent club, great club, good history BUT ... Tony and Gus are building a BEAST of a club, bigger than anything south of Birmingham bar 4 in London and Southampton. You are correct though, Palace are IRRELEVANT

Tell me why CMS is better than Ross McCormack?? Dont base it on Prem clubs once being interested in him, base it on stats. Championship stats.

McCormack 2009/10 league goals: 4 (37 app)
CMS 2009/10 league goals: 10 (39 starts)

McCormack 2010/11 league goals: 2 (21 app)
CMS second championship season 2011/12: 9 (40 starts)

McCormack has had more time to settle in to this level of football. I expect big things from CMS this season.

I noticed you had RM stats as appearances, and CMS as starts. Maybe RM was on the bench for a lot of the games, after his bad injury ?
You also missed out the 2011/2012 stats, was there a reason for this ?

Two reasons
-I missed McCormack's 2011/2012 stats because that would have been a third year for him, and cms only had two years in the championship to draw from and...
-I was also trying to make a point about the misleading nature of stats, and how you can't use them abstractly to determine who is a better player.

My only serious point is that McCormack has settled at this level, CMS hasn't had that chance, just after his first season here he had to drop down a division, and apparently he improved aspects of his game that were lacking. PErhaps he got comfortable again with a lower level of opponent, and so stepping back up to the championship was a case of needing to get back into that level, coupled with learning the new system with his new team, and think this coming season will see a better performance from him perhaps to the degree expected.

Don't forget RM has been used as winger a lot of the time as well.

You also missed RM's first season in the championship, 2008/2009, when he scored 23 goals. If you're a natural goalscorer, you don't need 2 seasons to adjust.

One hit wonder maybe?
