That story shows very clearly why Gus does not want him - he is going up for a header with his eyes closed!

Let's not be disingenuous - he was class for us this season. Let's just hope he's below average next season.

Gutted he has left tbh and as much as everyone says "in Gus and Tony we trust" I just cant see us having 2 better strikers than him next yr, hopefully I've just got a bit of small club syndrome going on.
Does this mean that Noooone should be congratulated for his correct prediction?

I think I'm with Buzzer. Pretending that you're really cool about the idea of him going to Palace is bizarre, that's not what being a fan is about. They are our bitter rivals, we've finally got the upper hand after about 25 years, we didn't need this.
As has been said, we'll see if it's just a few internet geeks at the Falmer game next season. Unless of course he's really brave and 'picks up a hamstring strain'.
In the big picture I'm not too concerned, we have excellent people running the show. You could maybe question the wisdom of letting the contract of one of your best players run down like that rather than given him an earlier ultimatum and selling him, but we were probably better off at least taking his goals for promotion.
I am certainly not one of those saying he was rubbish, having stated he would be a hit in the Championship - but I do also believe that in a year's time we won't still be talking about this (thank f**k), because we will have as good or better.

We're f'ing brilliant
Oh well. Cheers nonethless Glenn, when you were focussed you were bloody brilliant.
Whoever they get in, they've got to be easier to interview. The look on the club's face when I asked if I could get Glenn in for the podcast was *priceless*.
For my money, the type of replacements Gus gets will be interesting and indicative of his mid-to-long term plans. He's already alluded to not getting a 'similar' striker; we already have a continually improving 'work in progress' in Barnes (and I can't see him getting anything but better next season) so I'm thinking we may end up with a more talismanic and aggressive replacement to Murray; someone with more authority and consistency, and hopefully, as good a target/hold up man as Murray was.

^ Very much this ^
To be honest, I thought this was happening anyway. All the clues are there, The Will Hoskins bid late in the season, Murrays sheepish presence at the Parade, hiding towards the back.
Its disappointing a little, but I think we will be ok.

I think if we're going to spend a decent fee this year it'll be on ''that'' striker, as well as Hoskins.
Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Exactly.
Its not like we EVER bother mentioning moody ex-Albion players on here whenever they move on, score or fart in the breeze. I can't think of any instances where this has occurred whatsoever.
No sir.

thanks for the goals Glenn, without them I doubt we would have gone up this year. I hope it all goes pete tong for you at Sainsburys and that your wife dont settle.
This now paves the way for Michael Owen.........
At this point I am more sad than angry. I really thought that it was just rumourmill and that he would do a Calderon on us....I think he will be very useful in the Championship.
How can we replace him? Hoskins hopefully, although Glenn brought so much to the team in terms of hold up play, winning FK's and pens. What's CKR upto these days?
To another point hand - my office has a load of Palace fans here. To a man, they are all a bunch of cnuts. Particularly today.
