We need a cover for Hemed as BZ proved to be early season not some one to play along side him necessarily. Who better than Murray at an affordable price?
I have less of a problem with that.
There are always going to be Brighton fans that slag off a player before he's even kicked a ball.
It's just the tired, dull, boring, monotonous cycle of being unable to look beyond the end of your nose, that gets right on my tits.
What does it say about someone, who even after this season, they're still desperate for Barnes & Murray's return?
Or the latest overpaid nobody who's finally been slung out of a shitehouse Premier League side.
Or some second rate striker who's agent once screwed millions of pounds out of another club, because they have no imagination.
After the last 12 months how can anyone not be at def-con Vicente levels of excitement about who'll be starting in August.
Yet so many would be happy with Glenn Murray.
I don't think you can compare the two. I certainly think we could do a lot better than Murray (for a lot less money) but Barnes is different: he's younger and he'd certainly fit in this team. The one thing we know about him is that he's someone who'll be fully committed.
I wouldn't say I was "desperate" for him but I'd welcome him back ... as long as we had another striker with him (I mean in addition to Hemed and Baldock)

We started our last playoff game two goals down and without a striker on the bench and finished with one striker on the pitch. We obviously need more quality strikers. How many strikers better than Murray have we signed in the past five years? I don't fancy those odds. Sign him up!

Also Murray also knows how to score goals at The Amex , just hasn't been in an Albion shirt !!
What is his average goals per game at The Amex I wonder ??

1.5 per game. (3 in 2)

Find it hard to believe anyone would pay Murray £30,000 a week (and to be honest if Fulham would, having just come out of an embargo, then that's where their problems started). On a free and paying a percentage fine but not for that amount per week. What a waste of money for Bournemouth with the £5 million transfer fee too!

I find it hard to believe that we paid Kemy £10k a week.

It is not the £30k per week that look attractive or otherwise it is the overall £3m that would secure our rise to the Premier probably not as first choice every game but as an alternative to Hemed for some games or during games as per BZ is the attraction.

I don't think Murray is that good. He's decent but he has only ever had one season at this level where he got that many goals. He would certainly not guarantee promotion and potentially would upset other players as I doubt many of them are on £30K a week.

To be fair, I didn't say we didn't do any of that. It's just seems a lot of money for a player who has never scored many at Premier League level.

I am confident that had we signed him pre March deadline we would now be in the Premier. He is not only a good goalscorer but also a front target man, which we lack as cover for Hemed and also he is very good defensively at set pieces. Whether it be GM or A N Other we desperately need a cover for Hemed to replace BZ. What price would a proven replacement like Crouch or Lambert cost when Kyle Lafferty was valued at £3m and Hooper joined Wednesday for that fee, neither of whom as good all round as GM.

1. We haven't had a decent aerial striker since Ulloa left.
2. Hemed is most certainly NOT a target man in the Murray / Ulloa mould.
3. Our route to promotion clearly lies in crosses being converted. Murray can do that job.

How dare you suggest such a logical answer.

Not seen such Bravery!
I'd take him on a 1 season loan, but not 3 years @ 30K per week !

I was thinking along the lines of a 2 year contract at£30k per week or 3 year contract at £20k per week perhaps.

Why would he agreed to that with his club in the Prem and two years of his contract still to run? Why would Bournemouth agree to that either as it still leaves Year 3 as a problem.
