Apparently done deals

I meant to also add that my Huddersfield colleague thought Muzza was our MOM last week.

Most opposition fans notice this, several Southampton fans asked me why he didn't start against them as he completely changed the game, whenever we are on TV the commentators drool over his performances yet there are still chumps on here that don't rate him. I despair sometimes.

Hull are interested in Austin, and now have plenty of money to spend. That should be enough to rule us out no?

Of cause he is quality at certain things and nobody denies that,but scoring goals isn't one of those things is it?

Who saved Hull? They were in financial freefall not so long ago.

Thanks. That was very lazy of me.

Glenn Murray
2010/11
Games 22, Goals 6
2009/10
Games 36, Goals 14
2008/09
Games 27, Goals 12
2007/08
Games 21, Goals 9.

Total
Games 106, Goals 41.

Better than 1 in 3. Can't hit a barn door. Shit. Get rid. OR...he's currently on a dry spell of goals, but links up play brilliantly, bringing others into the game, and is the focal point of our 'plan B' due to his aerial dominance. He wins penalties and free kicks, he never stops running...Murray alongside a natural 'poacher' would get us promoted. Shipping him out because he doesn't score 25 goals a season is idiotic and shortsighted.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

I don't hope we lose Murray. Murray is our one class striker- he needs to be paired with A N Other, not replaced by them.

Agreed, but if he is stalling on a new contract (I don't know, they may not even have opened negotiations with him), then we need to get something back for him, as he can leave for nothing at the end of the season. Having said that, I would love to see Austin and Murray up front together.

 

[southstandg]

Why not have Murray and Austin?

Totally agree with you, sounds like a plan!

Fred Binney made 70 appearances for the Albion at this level and scored 35 goals (1 in 2) but was ousted by the partnership of Ward and Mellor. Superfred's next club was Argyle.

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

My only worry about Murray is is he getting better or worse as a player over the time he has been with us.

 

[Driver8]

Perhaps Murray is stalling on signing a contract until he sees if he gets a decent strike partner which in turn will give him am idea which division he will be playing in next season.

I can't see Austin coming here tbh. Tony Bloom has stated on a number of occassions that he doesn't like doing business in January; he probably wouldn't stump up the kind of money that Swindon would be looking for; Austin's wage demands would be too high for The Albion & he probably wouldn't want to come here anyway. Apart from that, I guess it's a nailed-on.

I dont think he will go there its to far North.

Austin is from Hungerford which is 20 miles from Swindon..

He also has a child (unborn) buried in Swindon.. that alone might keep him in the South..

Cr*p if GM played as he did in those two every week, what you say would have some credibility.

Unfortunately e.g. we go to places like Hartlepool and Carlisle when he might have well just stayed on the coach, thats why Gus will definitely replace him, and no i dont have inside knowledge on that just a gut instinct.

Locals to me say Millwall offered £750k for him in prev transfer window and it was turned down, I suspect that to be close to truth, so suggest that that is way above our budget, unless theres been a massive change in Mr Bloom's approach.

I went to Hartlepool, and he was our best player by a mile. Won everything in the air and didn't put a foot wrong. Poor example.
