Glenn Murray

[One Teddy Maybank]

FFS Murray was quality. Big mistake from Tonys and Gus not agreeing a contract with him.

He was ok, nothing more many NSC-ers seem a bit blind by their respect for him.

Great year last season, before had been average at best. Had he not scored he wouldn't have warranted a mention other than the miss in the first half.

I would have liked him to stay but not because of anything he did last week.

Poyet got it wrong, we should have kept Murray. Most of us thought "Gus knows best". Well he clearly didn't in this instance and we'd be a much more potent attacking force with Murray in the squad. I don't believe it was because we couldn't afford it, it was Gus not thinking he was up to this league or worth what he was asking for. IMO, obviously.

I will see the season out before i let hindsight be my judge on such matters-for now i am still happy.

Muzza - is Champ quality. Why we let him walk is a mystery to all except GP and GM. Yes I think we'd be a better team with him still here, along with Benno who we also surrendered too easily.

How many has he scored altogether? We have two strikers in the top ten for this division and having a couple of bad games doesn't alter that fact. He wanted more money than we were prepared to pay him. CMS will score more than Murray over the whole season.

Agree with this. A bad run and not only are we criticising our current players but lauding a player we effectively let go who, for the majority of this season so far, has not even been considered good enough to start by Palace.

Get your facts right, he's been injured.

Why bring CMS into it. I want him as well, they would have been a good combination. If you read the post, I would like him to have stayed, but am saying that he didn't play that well last week!!

Time to move on....

So you say Gus got it wrong, but then say that the reason was he didn't think Murray was worth what he was asking for. So what was he asking for? Oh that's right you don't know, so how can you then say that Gus got it wrong? Or would you have preferred us to pay more than Gus thought he was worth?

Fair comment, if Gus finds a target man of similar or the same quality I will be happy to be proved wrong. CMS was not Murray's replacement as so many seem to think, we need a player who can win headers when we go route one or knock in crosses, defend well in the air when we need him to and hold the ball up as well as score goals. Murray filled all those requirements, I think Gus is finding out just how difficult it is to replace a player like that now.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We haven't had a chance to see CMS with Hoskins as yet, apart from Cardiff, but they looked promising together in preseason. Barnes has been undroppable due to scoring but I think we may see a different line up following the break.

Theres only 1 glen murray 1 glen murray
he used to be gay but now hes okay
walking in a murray wonderland

f***ing hate it when we used to sing that.
Makes us look like a bunch of children, or worse, intolerable Millwall supporters.

We'll end up paying plenty more for a replacement if we have to pay transfer fees and wages. Gus is not infallible, he may well have got it wrong and as I said at the end of my post..IMO.

I've always thought why would Murray leave you lot to come to Palace. guess being a bigger club with better fans would have something to do with it.

Your'e a small to mid-sized club with arguably a hell of a lot less potential than us.

I saw him on the beach today, I wanted to say hello and thanks for last season, but bottled it as he was with wife, kids and parents/in laws

Haha laughable, you've got a stadium you can't fill, an owner you know nothing about and you're always living in our shadow. And that's before we've moved out of Selhurst

Really? I thought he would have moved up the A23, after all it's such a nice place. Also the club has a superb stadium and loads of fans and lots of money. So I'm suprised he's still hanging around in Brighton.

His girlfriend/partner is from Brighton which is why he chose Palace as it was the nearest offer he could get without moving away.
