Glenn Murray

[Skaville]

So, four and a bit games in to his Brighton career and three goals. I've only managed to see him play a couple of times and seen a few highlights, but I like the lad, although £300k does seem a bit steep. What are your thoughts NSC? The next Bobby Zamora or the next Mark Farrington?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Probably between the two.

He certainly knows where the goal is and although he fluffed a couple against Chelters he didnt disappear and kept plugging away and finally got a goal. Also you have to be in the position to miss in the first place and no way would Farrington have done that!

I think he still needs time to adjust to this league, but from what I've seen from him so far. Is that he wins the ball mostly all the time in the air. Looks good with the ball at his feet and a very good strike on him. I'm still not convinced, that he is worth 300K through and he will never be as class as BZ.

I like what I have seen so far. £300K does seem steep, but may turn out to be good business if he keeps his strike rate up.

He scores a goal every two games, so don't expect him to score on Saturday.

 

[Skidmarks]

Yes i would agree, 300k does seem very steep for any league 1 player let alone league 2!!!!, but i have to say after seeing Murray score a very well taken goal during a match where he played poorly has reminded me of that famous no.25 shirt.
The Cheltenham goal was a sign of a player who no matter what, will always get you goals even if he does miss a handfull to begin with. He is gonna be the Dean Ashton of the south coast, little flair, not too much pace but a relliable tough hardworking centre-forward always looking for more goals.
Can't wait to see this Dixon, he could be the missing link if we are to play 4-3-3 on sat, nippy and sharp with a bit of flair could be perfect for Murray and forster.

Looked a great finish too. He does seem to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time.

He looks good however I really hope Forster gets a goal Saturday he deserves one.

I know someone who has played against him plenty of times earlier in his career. He was very surprised to hear that we had signed him and even more surprised at the price, but did say that he has a habit of scoring, even when he has had a bad game.

there will never be another Mark Farrington.











hopefully

Decent service from the midfield, will get Forster a goal.

Hopefully no Mayo on Saturday then

El-Abd will be back. IMO on Tuesday night, we missed him in the middle and I thought I would never ever say that....

 

[Skaville]

He's class. Definitely. He looks to me like, above all else, he's got a brain. He times his jumps perfectly, hence his brilliance in the air. He has a cracking shot on his right foot, and no small amount of skill too. I think him and Forster are a perfect combination, and with Dixon as back up we don't need to even think about strengthening upfront for the next 18 months. Please, please just sort out a midfield worthy of the name, and we'll be shit hot.

Wow! Are you on an ecky or something!

 

[Rangdo]

He scores a goal every two games, so don't expect him to score on Saturday.

It's an average not a rule.

 

[The Large One]

Are there any other strikers who were better than what we had who were available for a price that you wouldn't consider 'steep'?

£300,000 is steep, but, for one in contract and required and wanted by their club, it seems to be the going rate.

 

[Skaville]

El Abd does a job, and he does it alright, but he's never going to be the answer alongside Thomson - they're just too similar.

Too similar? El Abd is a stopper that's all. I think Thompson has more to his game than that.
