I'd play him in the "Makelele role" but call it the "Mackail-ele role"

Could play the kind of role that Rooney plays for United.
Work rate is not an issue and he does have goals in him.

Play him in a central box to box role. He's got the stamina and fitness and you can't knock his work rate.
I think he's got the skills to open up defences with well timed accurate passes.

He has 2 left feet, is clumbsy, cant tackle, cant score, cant pass, cant get back and defend........ But he runs around a lot. Yeh lets stick him in midfield. You clearly dont have a clue about football

Absolutely not.

The problem is that wherever you play him, he couldn't trap a bag of cement. He makes Dirk Kuyt look like Ronaldo.

He was excellent yesterday and you could tell that the Fulham defenders hated playing against him and Tex.

Clearly not a midfielder, however a few key passes yesterday suggest he can pass the ball.

He also wore out the Fulham defenders so they weren't so sharp when Tex & March made the goal.

1 in 20 passes may find the man. Hardly reason to suggest that he is a midfielder. For what its worth i genuinely do like CMS. He is a grafter, but clearly not good enough in the Championship. League 1 is his level

i never said he was a midfielder...
Be interesting if Hughton does get the job, as I am sure he is an admirer of CMS and tried to sign him when at Norwich ?....
Also i think he is a 4-4-2 man... so may actually give CMS half a chance

Interesting, however we've been a totally transformed team since he came on against Reading... To me it's no coincidence, someone like him who works so hard for the team inspires others to do the same. Added to that, players hate playing against CMS, he might not be a prolific goalscorer at championship level but his work alone helps our other players score goals as he runs defences ragged.
Does this mean we will have to put up with Hughton starting CMS up front and it taking half a season before he realises that he can't hold the ball up?

Maybe not if he plays 2 up top....
