Because of Boxing Day
Our worst nightmare would have been to see Brighton tearing up the Championship with the Murray/CMS combo. Rivalry aside, he's a very likeable, talented and hard-working player and it's a great shame that things never quite worked out for him at Albion.
Let's hope he finds a set-up which plays to his strengths and a manager who believes in him 100%.

Wish him well. His performance today was typical - tried so hard and achieved so little. It will get better for him somewhere I am sure

A return to Posh seems the obvious choice.
There's a lot said we never played him in the right position. Personally I just think he was never that good, gave 100% every time
All the best Craig and thanks for the memories, they were some good ones

If he was only half as good as he was likeable ....hope he picks himself up and does well for himself?

People forget he had some very good games for us before his injury. He doesn't look the same player now but it will be interesting to see if he gets picked up by a Champ team.
It will be sad when he's gone. His bed empty, his favourite toy behind the sofa, his water bowl discarded and most of all his trusty old lead hanging on the hook by the back door.
It was the humane thing to do though.

Ok, I'll bite, 4 year contract, very good games (even before his injury)?
Superb goal Burnley away and arguably a good game, maybe Leeds home in the first year.......
I think we may differ as to our definition of good games, but fire away........

There will never be a player as great as Fred Binney.
well not CMS, unless he actually starts scoring a goal a game and even then, he'd have to play till he's nearly 50 to get the required goal ratio

He started the 2012/13 season in decent form and had 6 league goals in his first 6 league games that season. He scored 5 more before his injury ended that season early and kept him out for most of the 13/14 season. His actual stats for the 12/13 season was 24 starts (5 sub appearances) and 11 goals which read pretty decent and average out at 17/18 goals a season, although when he got injured in March he hadn't scored in his last 9 appearances. He has never looked like getting that kind of form back since his injury.
Yes his first few games, he played well, that was on the back of a prolific season, then he missed chance after chance, who could forget one on one in the last minute against Burnley when we had 9 men. Then as you say he started 12/13, playing ok, and 6 goals initially is a good return, but he missed a sitter at Hull on the opening day that would have made a difference (though a season cannot be based on one miss).
It is a shame he got injured and perhaps he would have played well off Ulloa, but it is more likely given his performances to the Ulloa signing he would have been coming off the bench.
Sorry, but whilst I admit I was excited by the CMS signing, and whether we did or didn't play to his is strengths or not, for him and us it is a wasted 4 years, with a poor return. For £3million (as it turned out) at that time, we should have got a 20+ goal season striker. Still, financially, I'm sure he has done very well for himself and his family and really at the end of the day, that should be his primary concern.

Did he ever score a goal away from home?

Barry Fry confirms we paid £2.5 million plus £10k a game.
Good article with Fry confirming Peterboro cannot compete with the Championship clubs that have contacted him this week about purchasing him. So we will see CMS at the Amex gain..
