Murray "out for 3 months"

[elwheelio]

So said Leroy Rosenior on the Totally Football podcast yesterday.

 

[HCxUK]

This would make sense, considering the Argus are stressing that we're after TWO strikers.

As an aside surely this means Hemed isn't going anywhere..

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

**** sake. Really?

So our only fit striker is someone we are planning to sell?

 

[Jim D]

Did he aggravate his injury while on the beach at the weekend?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

How are we planning to sell him, when we've turned down bids?

 

[Weststander]

"After two strikers" is now an absolute bare minimum.

Over to the Board & Winstanley. 58 hours to go.

 

[kevo]

What about Baldock and Izzy Brown (who can play as a striker)? How long are they out for?

 

[Marshy]

Bugger :-(

 

[Weststander]

He looked fit and well on the Palace Pier.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Because they haven't reached our valuation and because we can't sell him yet as we don't have any fit strikers. It's disingenuous to suggest that selling Hemed isn't part of our plans. I'm not suggesting the club are planning to sell him regardless of our striker situation however in a perfect transfer window world for the club they would/will have sold him.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Or was it a slip of the tongue and he really meant three weeks?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Disingenuous? Not honest or sincere? Thanks for that!

 

[spence]

So it's pointless naming Murray in the 25 man squad

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

You made me double check the meaning of disingenuous. It is a slightly harsher meaning than I've ever used it for, so apologies if any offence given, none was intended.

No, the vast majority of NSC members seem to want him out of the door, that doesn't mean that the club are. Subtle difference in my book.

 

[Paris]

I said this last week - play José Izquierdo up top. He's got all the attributes.

Thank you.

Here's a direct quote from Chris Hughton saying Hemed was going nowhere, which is what I remembered.

IF Murray is out for 3 months and Hemed was too be sold... all of a sudden a loan of Ulloa until Jan seems more likely... even though he has signed a new deal ?

It's been mentioned a number of times in the press. Most recently in today's article in The Argus.

'CONNOR GOLDSON could be heading back to the Championship with Tomer Hemed as Albion brace themselves for a hectic flurry of ins and outs in the closing stages of the transfer window.'

http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/alb...o_let_Goldson_go_out_on_loan_to_Championship/

I guess that could mean that they'll let Hemed go out on loan but as it's his final year of his contract it seems more likely he'll be sold.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Izzy SHOULD be in contention for WBA

Baldock who bloody know, it's beyond a joke now. "minor calf injury" in June, i'd be amazed to see him back before October.
