CMS to Luton?

[Philzo-93]

Just read on the club website that CMS played for Luton Town in a friendly over in Portugal?

Do hope he doesn't end up there, granted he didn't have the best of times here at Brighton in comparison to Peterborough but he can easily walk into any League One team.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He's training with them.

...but he can easily walk into any League One team.

The fact that none of them want him suggests otherwise.

Which isn't a surprise. He's a CRAP striker, who claps the fans.

He is only training with them to keep fit. He will not sign for Luton. He will be lucky to find a Championship club who are interested in him though.

Good luck to him - Luton are managed by John Still and if anyone can get the best out of CMS its probably Still. It'll be interesting to see whether he signs for them - if he doesn't I reckon the Conference is beckoning.

 

[Nathan]

John Still was his manager when at Dagenham, and also CMS has family in the Bedfordshire area.

I mentioned this 3 weeks ago that they were after him and it was near to his birthplace, so going home having made his fortune

 

[Icy Gull]

Can you imagine the man CMS replaced having to go on trial to get a deal? Let's hope we know what we are doing with the strikers we sign this season. Our track record since Ulloa is SHIT.

 

[WhingForPresident]

They've already made 10 signings this summer as well.

They've already made 10 signings this summer as well.

One of them is another of our ex players Paddy Mccourt

I'm sorry but i just cant agree with all this CMS is rubbish talk that I read on this forum (not particularly this thread though) He's easily a decent Championship/League One striker who just hasnt fitted in with our particular style, and a guy who's had some serious injury and confidence issues over the last season or so.

I do agree he probably needs a new challenge away from Brighton and we could use his costs to better effect but Luton? Really? Just hope we dont get drawn againgst them in any of the cup competitions,.

I'd argue against that. The team he was in with Boyd, McCann, McLean, etc made him look way better than he is

He's had one, maybe two good seasons. Very much doubt that he'll end up even at L1 level unless he signs for someone that has Moses playing ahead of him

 

[Rugrat]

so going home having made his fortune

All relative, if you want to believe there's some sentimental attachment then go ahead.

He'll be like most other journeymen players, chasing a few quid till the bitter end

So would I if I were in his position.

The point is that he will now be a wealthy young man and the difference in wages that Luton , who seem to be signing players and another club in Div 1 or 2 may not be enough to turn his head. Nobody is going to be looking at anything like 10k per week, probably below 5K.

 

[scooter1]

With a bit of careful financial planning he probably won't have to work again, so he now has 3 or 4 years left of a short career to enjoy the game at a level that suits him - L1 or L2

 

[dennis]

Im really surprised the father in law hasnt found a place for him.

Do you really believe that? I've seen him fluff so many chances I've lost count, four seasons 24 goals says it all really.

 

[Simster]

Exactly [MENTION=24827]Justice[/MENTION]. He's gash. And to be fair, last season we did change our style to accommodate CMS...






...by trying our best to ensure we were playing league one defenders every week this season.

Basically this. He is 31 now remember, so past his prime. He has achieved a lot in the game, and made a lot of money. so so what if he drops down to League Two?

He could well end up scoring a hatful of goals if he does sign for Luton, and at this stage of his career, shouldn't the feel good factor be just as important as trying to make even more money from playing football?
