Agree and agree but would still be very disappointed if we had to rely on Murray as our No1 Prem striker.

The one that springs to mind is Ulloa.
I just mentioned on the Summer signings thread the teams that go down always have one or two to pick up that would improve the squad.

Need two top quality strikers as additions, not makeshifts but enhancements. Then the five can have a go. Wood and Defoe fro me

Ha ha, yes he said that but then the board sanctioned our record signing on record wages. Gus wouldn't be one to bend the truth to cover his own arse would he!?

Just a packet of sea salt and balsamic vinegar kettle chips. But why not, if he went to Sunderland he can come to us

Where was it said he was on record wages? He turned down higher wages at Leicester to play for us.

Reportedly record wages for us.

I remember during our promotion from league one under Gus when he dropped Murray for our away game at Bourhemouth who were our rivals that year for promotion. Gus had problems with him.
When we signed CMS to replace him most fans were pretty happy. No one could have guessed he would bang in 30 in his second season at Palace. I'm not doubting GM one iota but just saying how much shit some of you lot are spouting about it all know.

There were plenty of people at the time that were desperate for us to keep hold of Murray at any cost. It didn't take a trained eye to realise he was getting better and better. When you say 'most' fans, I also think this is an exaggeration. Most fans thought we'd paid a lot of money on a League One show pony, and that opinion turned into fact as it happened.

I'm with you. The first season in the Championship CMS scored 11 goals, & Murray 6.
Murray benefited from playing under Holloway & improved his game. I don't think he would have developed as well, had he stayed with us, imo.
Absolute bollocks, the near unanimous opinion was he was an excellent signing for the first year or so.

No, I just chose not to rewrite history to try and make me look clever?

Rubbish. Loads of fans who were at Withdean week after week, loved Murray's football, and were gutted he left.
It wasn't a binary choice of Murray or CMS, that was a propaganda line trotted out by Poyet when under pressure on the issue much later.

Murray and Baldock are class, but Murray is no spring chicken. I hope the club will buy two proven strikers to augment them as our four this summer. I can't see Hemed scoring PL goals but he's been vital for us at this level.
If they sign Wood for the fee Leeds will be asking and wages Wood will be demanding, they might as well sign Defoe.
Both stupid suggestions for similar, but completely stupid, reasons.
