Not that at all. Oscar plays one up front, so Barnes would either play on the wing and not score many goals, or be used as back up. I'd take three quarters of a million for a back up player every day of the week.

Yes but we needed to replace him like for like and not bank the cash

I was told that TK is the highest earner but not sure if that is correct. but I can see the logic.
I reckon we probably will do, but at the end of the season now. We tried to sign Grabban don't forget. No point in rushing into purchasing someone who is useless, thank god Obika isn't permanent.

Most would have said the same about Vokes but I think the club are pinning their hopes on CMS and possibly Hoskins.coming back to solve the problem.

Whenever they are match fit which might be a long time off

Possibly not this season even but it would save money in the summer as we already have them
That's true BG. Forgot about those two (touch wood) returning within the next month or so.
We will never know.
And what were his 30+ goals worth to palace?? Which everway you look at it letting Murray go and buying cms for 2.5 million plus add ons was a total cock up by the club. Hind sight is a wonderful thing! We would be in the premier league with Murray's scoring. We have had goal scoring issues since the move to the Amex Saturday against Wigan demonstrated the 3 year issue in a nut shell. What did we have 20 attempts on goal.

Any chance of a loan back?
No disputing it was a mistake. But people need to make their minds up about who made that mistake. Apparently every good signing was somehow instigated by Gus Poyet and signed off by the club who should take no credit at all. And every less successful signing was made solely by the club with zero input from the manager. That seems a very strange two tier way of working.
Gus can't have disliked him that much, we did offer him a new contract.
We don't even know that. Palace were all out attack at the start of the season, playing to Murray's strengths, and both scoring and letting in plenty. They also had more than their fair share of penalties. And yet despite it all, we finished above them. They went up instead of us/Watford thanks to a couple of playoff games that Murray didn't even play in.
I'm sick to death of this Murray ****ing bullshit. NSC seems to be blessed with so many wise oracles, all saying how stupid it was to let Murray go, yet none (or very close to none) of them said they'd rather have Murray than CMS at the time.
I think the club were banking on CMS and Hoskins to be fit by January so could let him go if need be
That's why I said the club as I have no idea how it was handled!
I was like most very happy with the signing of cms and I have never wanted a Brighton player to succeed as much as him his effort is unquestionable. I was equally disappointed that Murray left for whatever reasons. My point being that if we had had 30 plus goal scorer last season we wouldn't have been in the play offs we would have won the league! We create loads of chances but are just too profligate. I know it's in the past and can't be changed but it still erks as does that dark night in May.

Fair enough. Sorry for bundling you in with those who just seem to be negative for the sake of it.
