And there's me thinking some painkiller solved all his problems...! Or was that just another 'money making exercise'...?
You are just being sarcastic for the sake of it. No point discussing an issue when people mix emotion with facts.

If his attitude were okay rolleyes I'd take him back like a shot.
Of course CMS is a better player, but the two together would be superb.
This.If his attitude had been OK, it's possible he'd still be here because the club might well have paid his wage demands.

Fair enough.....but football is very much about emotions. Facts, sometimes get in the way.
FACTS; Glenn Murray did very well last season and his goals/performances helped us get promotion. On his day, is a very skilful player. Unknown ability to succeed in the Championship.
EMOTIONS; Moody bugger. Never seemed happy at the Albion.He got off to a bad start, Wilkins and he never saw eye to eye, they are both introverted characters. Wilkins also resented Murray being signed by Barry Lloyd and having no input in the decision. His first transfer request came within a few months of signing for the club as a result of this personality issue.
I don't know enough of the details, his wife did not like it down here, and that was the root of the problem.Not the first player whose marriage went belly up...but dealt with it badly (IMO).
I thought our fans were hypocritical wankers at that game. Gave his stick about his marriage during the match and then expected him to clap them at the end of it. Personally I would have done the same as him.He enjoyed his 'slap in the face' to Brighton supporters at Brentford, which left its mark.
Gone to Palace for a little more money
As I have said before, the issue was the contract length, if you think a guaranteed half a million quid is a 'little more money' then you clearly are in a better paid job than me.
.....but seems to prefer living in Brighton.
Can't blame him for prefering to live here than there personally.
Poor choice when his career is short, but his living time down here could be long.
I am not sure what point you are making there.
In theory he did, and he was called Liam Dickinson, who was originally signed as Murray's replacement when he put in a transfer request under Slade.If we didn't have Murray last season, I believe TB would have made funds available for an equally good replacement.
SUMMARY; Wish him no harm whatsoever...he did what he did. As a player (last season) very good. As a person......not keen on him at all.
Going to Palace saw him having a better chance of playing in their 1st team , staying here meant being 3rd or possibly 4th choice striker and having to graft to get a deal after 2 years were up.
If his attitude were okay rolleyes I'd take him back like a shot.
Fairly sure that he would be second choice if he'd stayed... CMS #1, Hoskins #3 and Barnes #4.
He is still a quality player though. Admittedly Poyet seemed to bring the best out of him last season, but he certainly has bags of skill and wouldn't look out of place in most championship sides. I for one won't forget the huge contribution he made last season, both in attack and defending.
He'll either bounce back from this injury and be a decent striker for palace, just not sure their style of play will suit him that much. I still think he'd have a lot to give in our current side as he can simply make a goal out of nothing if he's in that frame of mind. Which is the crucial thing with Glenn, will Freedman be able to do what poyet did and keep him in that frame of mind.
Some of these comments are pathetic.
No Glenn Murray, no promotion. He was immense last season, anyone who thinks different is living in la-la land.
