Glenn Murray to sign today...

[The Birdman]

I don't care about his age if he scores that's what counts .

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I'm happy if it's a loan, mainly because I had this horrible thought that Palace might have a sell on clause! The thought of giving them some of cash sent shivers down my spine.��

I wouldn't worry about that. Sell on clauses are usually on profits and there's no way we'd have agreed to pay Bournemouth more than they paid Palace.

Better get your ABSAIL gear greased up.

And get his ArSe out as well

Season long loan sounds great if true, hopefully we won't then have to pay his full prem wages, imagine there will be a decent loan fee however.

 

[Eeyore]

If he is a Zamora replacement then I'd say it's a small upgrade. Sound business.

Id be more positive TBH. The fact he went to palace from us (free agent yes) makes it a bit bitter sweet - although we'll possibly have last laugh if he signs. I've always thought he was a fantastic player. Many on here will agree they were shocked palace didn't play him more - very good striker in the prem let alone champs... IMO.

How the feck will you have the last laugh if he signs for you? It's not like we are both in for him and he's chosen you over us.

With all due respect to Glenn, we have moved on to far better quality and are close to signing Christian Benteke.

You linger around more than a bad smell!

You know I speak the truth though

Rewriting history. It wasn't just an ok goal he scored at Elland Road. He was also leading the goal of the season votes, until Skalak scored his beauty.
The goal against Huddersfield where he cleared it out of the area to sprint down the pitch to score. If you think that is just ok, I suggest you pick some rich Premier League club, as you'll never be satisfied watching Brighton.

So two good goals, and a few others, made him an outstanding success according to you. What did he cost us, 20-30k per week minimum? Not knocking the man, just not wearing the same Bobby tinted spectacles as you and others.

you talk shite...Why the hell are you on here anyway? is the Palace forum down or something?

Why the hyperbole? He scored 7 goals which got us points to be in at the death even though we ultimately failed. His presence in the dressing room plus a few great goals do not make him ok. His return was a success, I didn't say outstanding.
Dont pretend you knew his wages because you don't.

I find it odd that some fans are so keen to claim Zamora was a failure. It feels very odd. There's no way Zamora was on £20-30K a week and he had a good season for us. Murray may well be an upgrade on Zamora but it seems odd to put Zamora down.

Zamora, when fit, ended up as the de facto second/third choice striker, until his season ended (long before the Albion's did).
Despite all my grumbling loanee Murray would be plenty good enough in that role.

But that's all reliant on a marque signing arriving to play with Tomer.
Murray and Baldock, if fit would still get plenty of opportunity along with, in an ideal world, one of the kids.

If the statement of intent signing doesn't arrive, we're screwed.

Not least because he kept his promise to come back.

The fans aren't going to welcome him with open arms, as much as he was great for Palace I think that was down to great chemistry with Zaha. then again, even Judas felt remorse for betraying Jesus

Agreed, but if we do start the season having not secured said signing we could do a lot worse, in the interim, with Murray and Hemed up top.

Until he scores the first goal. Then everyone will grow up.

What an odd statement. How are we screwed without a statement of intent signing? We came third last year without this 'statement of intent' signing. We came third with a points total that would generally have got you up despite a horrendous run of injuries mid season. Alongside that, we signed arguably our best player (Knockaert) in January so he only had half a season at the club as well as Skalak and since then our form was amazing. I don't understand the negativity.

Having said all that, we clearly want to sign two strikers as we lost two at the end of the season and Murray would be a decent option as one so I don't get what you are getting so annoyed about on this thread.

Why not? We clearly didn't offer him a good enough deal when he left and Palace did. That's football. He never celebrated a goal against us for any of his clubs and has never criticised the club.
