Glenn Murray; Get him signed up long term

[El Presidente]

I think a lot of people thought that he never looked bothered and rarely put any effort in. Thats why he wasn't "well liked" last year. I think it wasn't clear the extent of the injury he was carrying.

He is 10 times the player he was last year. His contribution is exceptional and if he doesn't sign a new contract, I'll be very sad.

I wish people would stop using the clapping as a cover up for a very poor season by this season's standards.

He certainly looks very sharp this season, but 14 goals in 37 matches, carrying an injury and with poor supply at times, wasn't a 'very poor' return IMO. If he had played a full season he would have been close to 20.

If he improve his discilinary record that will help his return too.

Rather than Murray being the Berbatov of League 1, I'm inclined to think it's the other way around.

He's only been booked once this season.

He seems to be enjoying his football now with us more than ever (which is hardly surprising bearing in mind our league position), but it was great yesterday to see his reaction to the other goals scored by Caldy, Lua Lua and Sparrow. Keep it up Glen.

 

[Rookie]

Biggest fear is losing him on a free would be such a waste. Has been a different class when fit all the time he has been here and has changed his game a lot this year to be more of an all round team player

 

[El Presidente]

Will be interested to see how murray gets on in the championship as its quiet a step up and he's certainly not a high goal scorer

Certainly knowhere near as good as bobby as bobby scores 30 goals to murrays 10-15 a season.but yeah murray has been great so far.

Glenn Murray 37 goals in 81 starts
Bobby Zamora 77 goals in 130 starts
Leon Knight 32 goals in 107 starts

We need this sorted by January otherwise he will probably have to be sold.

Sell. He wont make the grade in the Championship or higher so what's the point in having him signed for four years. Onwards and upwards people.

 

[J2 DOG]

Definately got the ability to play championship football and at last showing what he is capable of on a consistant basis.Credit to Mr Poyet for showing faith and man management in getting the best out of yet another player.A fox in the box type goalscorer playing along side Glenn would really come good.

 

[Braders]

does anyone still think revell is better?

*sticks hand up yet again this weekend*

I was wrong ... Muzza over Alex (although I STILL don't think Revell deserved the abuse he got whilst here/since he's left )

 

[janee]

Muzza went to a mate's school in Lancing recently. When asked if he was looking forward to playing at the new stadium, Muzza replied "I don't expect to still be here"

Nothing like reasoned discussion and that is nothing like reasoned discussion.

 

[entente cordiale]

Muzza has oozed class since he arrived, we now have a team to match.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I was at his debut, away at Nothampton under Wilkins and in his 15 minutes or so looked the real deal.

Fell away under the Adams and Slade shenanigans, his unsettled private life and injury, but under all that there was always a class player.

If Poyet can bring it out now then yet another reason to enjoy this season

 

[One Legged Striker]

Naaa, he's too lazy isn't he... I love how some people hated Murray last year. Pricks.

I think i'm right in saying, some people this year have said they wouls rather have Barnes up top than him.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Exactly, you cant make him sign a new contract IF he's still not happy down here. It would throw a major spanner in the works to lose him.

 

[ewe2]

IMO....Murray (a good striker ) will (and i dont blame him ) demand more than Bloom will give.

 

[Marshy]

Cant see Glenn turning down a sensible offer at the moment so get it done.
Top of the League and on the way to Falmer...be stupid to not take a good offer.
