Will CMS be a better player this season?

[Doc Lynam]

As has been mention SH seems to play a style that should suite CMS. But do you think he'll be a more complete player this season after what he had to assimilate under Gus? I think he could do very well with a big man along side him, it will be interesting to see if he adjusts his game after what he's learned from the previous managers.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

How did he play at Posh in the Championship? I seem to remember he wasn't prolific with them.

 

[Beach Hut]

This is a tricky time for the club as I think he is out of contract at the end of this season.

how do you know that we are going to play 2 up front , i doubt it very much , i should imagine he will be the same as 2 seasons ago but not quite so pacey

I don't did SH play 2 up in germany? Pace will be interesting with the medical support these days i wouldn't be surprised if he is back to his top speed of old.

He was supposed to fit in under Gus and look how that panned out.

God knows, but the fact that he's banging them in in the friendlies so far can only be good for his confidence

 

[banjo]

I would love him to bang in a few this season and stay fit. Love he's work rate.

 

[c0lz]

Yes and we need to renew his contract too.

 

[Drebin]

Unless we sign a top end championship striker I think he will be the spearhead of our attack this season over COG. I also have a feeling he will get better support upfield than under previous managers and have his best season yet for us.

I don't think he'll get a long contract extension though as he's the wrong side of 30 and the club will want his wage as low as possible. Perhaps a couple of years at most. Could be a tricky one.

 

[Horton hears a few]

Good player I reckon. Unnecessarily slated.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

No, CMS will still be on a sizeable contract, he's 30 now and hasn't really set the place on fire. It would be foolish to give him another inflated wage whilst the club is trying to be as frugal possible. As Beach Hut says, this is a tricky situation for the club.

 

[Shoreham Gull]

Have good feeling about cms this season, think he will be scoring for fun and be like Danny Ings last season-

CMS you can do it...

 

[Triggaaar]

It is tricky. I think we should offer him another year, on the same wages. That works out a lot less per week (£13k ish) than his first few years, as there's no fee to pay. Hopefully he'd take it, knowing that he could get injured again and be without a club and without a wage.

 

[jimhigham]

Pre-season goals hint at the possibility of a more fruitful season.

 

[Sheebo]

He'd started last season really well, had a 6 or 7 game blip and then got injured. People forget how good he was for us start of last season IMO...

 

[BrianWade4]

Yes. Big fan and will be the main man this season

So we let him walk for free at the end of the season then needing to replace him as well ?

 

[symyjym]

Being our most expensive signing he had a lot of pressure coming to us, especially when he and Barnes were the only strikers we really had. It’s difficult to include Hoskins as the third.

I don’t think Gus played him to his strength and with his own frustration at the lack of scoring opportunities left him looking frustrated when he didn’t take his only chance to hit the back of the net in a game.

I don’t think the pressure is on him now to live up to that expensive star signing and he is more of just another squad member. Hopefully a more relaxed CMS under Sami will bring out the best in him.

 

[Hugo Rune]

If he can stay injury free and build an understating with the likes of Buckley, March & JFC similar headlines to these could return: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11719/4835746/fry-posh-trio-will-cost-15m

We'll probably sell him in January like we did with Barnes rather than let him walk away for nothing at the end of the season.
