I hope so, that particular business plan has been working well for us , i might be wrong but i think it was actually 1p in the pound last time round,

Agreed, getting very fed up with this.

He probably should be close to 25 already with the chances he's missed.
Having said that he is still a great player, once he gets his eye in again like early season he'll be fine.

Giving him a proper strike partner might help.
Especially when you consider that Swansea paid 2 million for Michu !!!

If CMS is sold then i'm sure he'll score plenty wherever he ends up. Would be ironic if he joined Leeds and took them into the playoffs ahead of us. I expect he'd enjoy playing alongside Becchio.

And Chelsea paid £50 million for Torres. So?

How very very true.Amazing, isn't it? I certainly don't remember too many complaining when we signed him although to be fair some of the threads have been started by people who weren't here for that

I don't think most people deep down really think CMS & Barnes are rubbish, both of them do great jobs most games until they get in front of goal. The kind of chances they and a whole host of others in the team this season (Orlandi & Hammond to name just two) have missed beggars belief at times. Games like yesterday where we are really up against it, you get that one great chance and your top players must step up and take them. There's not one player at the moment, maybe with the exeption of Buckley, who I feel confident is going to put it away. I really would like to see Dobbie & Hoskins given a run now through to January, and then see what needs to be done in the transfer window.
"Both of them do great jobs till they get in front of goal"
If I did what I was asked to do at work as badly as they have at times this season I'd be long gone. Hardly doing great jobs are they??

You're not getting what I mean, I agree with you. The build up and approach play, the way they get into great positions is all good but for whatever reason they and others seem completely lacking in composure in front of goal.
Sorry it's early, will open both eyes now. Lol
CMS
Oh yes !! Because Barnes hasn't missed any this year has he ? This thread is ridiculous , anyone who doesn't rate CMS has no knowledge of football END OF ...

Yeah ok. We know nothing- I'll live with that. Lol
Ps. In your opinion, what do you think CMS brings to the party?
Pps. Also think your right re Barnes for what it's worth.

CMS is technically poor. Watch his first touch - it's not good enough.
Running around like a headless chicken does not mean you are a good player.
I also agree that had Barnes been played as a centre forward then he would have scored more goals...look at his first two seasons as proof.

CMS first touch : mid week v Bristol C : end of discussion
Barnes scoring more , he has more clear cut chances than CMS this year that's a fact .
Without CMS goals we would be in relegation zone .
Barnes passing percentage is worst in the squad

Have you not be watching for the last year and a half?.?
He luckily controls the ball the other night and you automatically forget the past and think he's Wayne Rooney........
No sense of reality at all... Just blinded support.

Like all strikers at every level CMS misses chances but in most cases he does well to actually make the chance in the first place and as an old manager used to say' keep the faith' he will come good again and increase his goal tally to 20+ this season.
CMS
CMS plays off the last defender he wants the ball played behind the defence on the deck , he needs a partner to play off ..Gus will never do that but that's not CMS fault . That does not make him a bad player .
CMS puts fear in all defenders on their first touch because they know he will be there , what's the point of him chasing down defenders when our midfield and defence are so deep all the time , again we are not playing to his strengths .
I could type all day about how we fail CMS not CMS failing us .
Please rly with anymore counter questions thou
