Murray's pre season form

[5 Zero]

Good player, but wouldn't stand a chance against Mackail-Smith and Hoskins.

I think someone is telling porkies! You would swap Hoskins for Murray any day of the week!

The thing about Murray is that, despite having bags of talent, he has a highly questionable attitude. He seemed to want to get back up north as soon as he signed. He mopes about, was a loner within the squad, can sometimes be seen to be very lazy on the pitch and only seems to do it when he wants to. He only really fully applied himself in the last six months at the club - contract time.

In short, it's all about him, but only when he can be arsed. I don't think a proper squad needs those kind of players. If Freedman can get the best out of him you've got yourself a good player (albeit unproven at Championship level), but I'd take Elliott Bennett over Glenn Murray ANY day of the week. He's the one we'll miss.

Hoskins is younger, faster, hungrier and isn't a greedy miserable f***. Mehhhhh, I'm not so sure you're right.

Our top three strikers scored seventy odd goals between them last season. Questionable whether we will miss miserable Glenn at all.

Time will tell, but I genuinely think Hoskins is a better player than Murray. 20 goals in a struggling side last year, against Glenn's 22 in a title-winning side tells it's own story. Glenn scored 1 or 2 crackers for us last year but also missed plenty too - a clinical finisher would have had 30+ goals in our side last year no trouble. Then there is the question mark over his attitude - at times he's a 100%er, at others he might as well not be on the pitch.

Have you really been one of the top two divs for 35 years?.

You know we have

And there you have it, A palace fan not only admitting that they are divs but that they are at the top of the div pile.
