FindernRam Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The new CM seems to me to be a lot slimmer than he used to be, and (possibly an optical illusion) a fair bit quicker. Wardrobe seems a bit inappropriate, what new name should we give him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He's part of the furniture for now. I'm happy for the Wardrobe to remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This thread looks perfect,didn’t want to start another CM thread. Can we have a poll on his contract please,I’m right in thinking it expires at the end of the season? Another 12 months? Reduced terms,release,wait and see? Personally I’d probably go 3 of the above. Wait and see as we normally break a player by awarding a new contract then another 12 months but renegotiate(but not using the Keogh method)? Anyone.

Yes 12 month extension on (slightly) reduced terms. What's strange is since the summer of 2015 we've brought in various strikers / linkmen (Nugent, Jerome, Blackman, Vydra, Marriott, etc.) and barring Vyd's purple season and some flashes from Marriott, CM is still the best striker we've got. His first touch, it's like the ball is glued to his boot and his brain to see a pass / layoff is outstanding. Lawerence's first goal yesterday is an example, set up by CM's quick feet. He may not got 20+ goals this season, but his link play will set other up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I think he's worth another 12 months, unless cocu brings in his own striker along with rooney. Don't think he'll want 4 strikers on the book. I think Lawrence could do a job there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'd love him to sign an extension but I think it all depends how pivotal Cocu sees him to his plans. It's no secret that he's probably our highest earner behind Rooney if some of the figures banded around are to be believed. Cocu may feel he can do some wheeler dealing if he can get him off the wage bill. Come on Phil, you know it makes sense to keep him on. Everyone needs a Wardrobe after all.

Agree, only thing is i never believe the figures that are circulated, because no one knows and its just made up guess work most of the time. Look at the so called ITK media over Keogh, even had different figures circulated of his earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is excellent, most of his passes come off too, of course not all but the majority, but the simple stuff just brings the likes of lawrence into play. Like Shinnie said when he scored, he just knew the lay off from CM would be spot on, must be so good to have such trust in a fellow player. I cant help but feel we have missed out over the past 2 or 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Would have thought he'd want at least a two year deal, and would expect reduced terms if only because of his age and 'health issues'. Don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given time, I think the combination of CM and Jack Marriott will be just as lethal. That’s it though isn’t it. CM on his own is a lost soul. In his hey day in the right games his back up came less from the wide men and more from Bryson and Hendrick being close enough to him so that the touches had somewhere to go. To get something out of that sort of striker you either have to have an athletic midfield who get forward and support OR give him a Marriott/Vydra whippet to work with. Either will do but he isn’t fast or aggressive. In isolation the subtly of his play is lost. If you don’t give him the system it doesn’t work. what excites me at the moment (even though one game isn’t much to base a hypothesis on) is that that was the first time they have played together .. that was a practice run against a poorish side. I really hope he starts them both against Forest, the more they play together the better they will get. Meanwhile .. I think I’ll stick with Wardrobe .. modular clothing storage system or “Maatn ” is it’s known in a popular Swedish emporium doesn’t quite have the same ring to it Warming to my theme . We have a wardrobe, a hotel, a Clarke, and Shinnie is obviously Gaelic for trouser press or is that Dutch for playing a high line ? .
