He played his part .but 'criminally underused'? Nah. In 2011/12 we finished 92nd out of 92 in the scoring charts with Crouch and Walters as the undroppable front two. Ahhh the good old days

i liked cj but only as an impact sub. as others have allready pointed out when he did get 90 mins[admittedly rare]he was ineffective. proof of the pudding i suppose was when he was available at the end of last season not one prem club showed any intrest. i would still have him on our bench imo

Interesting that Hughes first move was to bomb him out. He's no poor judge of strikers.

7 in 50 tells half a story. Half of those were 10 minute sub appearances. The last full season he had with us he had the best goals to minutes ratio of anybody in the squad. Fact. Only championship club wanted him,fact. He's not quite good enough. Who is the last player to leave Stoke and go on to better things? I'm just saying your throwaway "7 in 50" comment is complete nonsense.

He's still finding his feet and will get better, his quality is there to see. I don't think you can judge a foreign player moving to a new country after 9 league games personally. Jerome apart from a couple of screamers was basically poor....

Compare Walters record in the champ there is no comparison Walters pretty average in the champ too. Only ever managed double figures in the league once in his career.

Amazed to see so many on here think he's a quality player because, quite simply, he isn't. Jerome has (with the exception of his stunner against Soton) been really poor in the Premier League for both us and Palace. He is excelling in the Championship and the simple reason is that this league demands more ability and skill whereas in the lower league a player can excel without those if they have pace and power, Jerome was made for the lower leagues as he has the latter two in abundance. Jerome has some good attributes but he's not a quality player, simple as.

He's got the best start to goal ratio of any striker we've had in the last decade. Explain that?

He played 2 and a half years worth of consecutive games for us in a central role behind either Jones or Crouch. He's played the last year and a half as part of a front 3. He had about 6 months worth of football under Pulis in a genuine wide role in a straight 4 man midfield.

You seem to conveniently forget that Jerome and Tuncay (along with Ricardo) are pretty much the only players we had under the Pulis regime that brought any sense of excitement to watching the shite that was thrown up by TP every Saturday afternoon
