Apart from that half season before his Achilles injury, where it looked like he might show his worth, never really looked like what we needed in Poyet's style of play.
Can't fault him for graft & effort during his time here though.

Give him time. He'll come good. He's making all the right runs etc.

was always going to struggle post-injury as his game was so heavily reliant on pace

Was average but with very high expectations (and rightly so given fee and role brought in to play).

Didn't he go on loan to Peterborough from us as well? Surely he'll be non-league before too long. Back at Dagenham?
Very harsh to say he was a complete failure. I remember him being our top scorer in a side when he was up front on his own. Sadly he never had opportunity to play alongside a Murray or Ulloa.
Record breaking Transfer record of over 3 million. Poor scoring record and missed so many good chances. He was a failure for us. You are right that he shouldn't have been played up front on his own. That's not how he plays.

Underachiever, yes. Complete failure, not so much!
He bought a lot to the team without being as prolific as we all wished he was (i.e. Barnes/Baldock). Remember him having some great games for us.
See Ryan Harley for those that fall under the complete failure bracket!
Big difference. Harley cost 250k. Not 3 million. CMS scored over 30 goals before he joined us. He came with a good reputation. Yes he was a failure

Totally wrong player for the sort of football we played. Not particularly his fault that and he always worked hard in a woefully poor system for him. Somewhat ironic he would have knocked in a ridiculous amount of goals in the side we play now.

He should have been played up front with Barnes, but we didn't have the right player to fit in on the left, so Barnes was sacrificed to play there.
CMS first season, he scored 11 for us. That's not a bad return for someone who'd never played in the Championship before.

He'd already spent a season in the Championship, scoring 10 in 43 games as Peterboro got relegated.

I'm probably reading this wrong but you are not suggesting that Baldock is prolific are you?

Yes, you're right. I'd forgotten as Posh got relegated.

I think you are reading it wrong and he's suggesting that Barnes and Baldock contribute(d) a lot to the side without being as prolific as perhaps some think they should be.
