Murray is a gifted player, no doubt about it. And quite possibly player of the season, his goals, his assists and his all round team work has been very impressive. The fact he has been so good in the last year of his contract has to be questioned and is a fair point for discussion. Is it the way we played? Is it down to Gus? Does Murray take two years to show his best? Do all his injury problems dry up in the last year of a contract?.Why has he never scored 20 goals in any season before now? or is it that he knows at his age, this was the most important year of his life as a player, as his next contract will surely be the best he will ever get and ever likely to get.....Murray is a class act, no doubt about that but he can also be a luxury player as well and im not sure that Gus wants him as much as some of the fans clearly do.
What bollocks. Second highest scorer and probably second best player during the Withdean era.
I will be gutted if he leaves, but shit happens.

I am fairly certain that Gus does not want him as much as some fans do. If he did, he would have offered him a Contract months ago.

What? Take a long hard look at yourself pal. He has not even gone and you talk shite like this. Hope he gets a serious injury in the first game.................oh f*** off.
Some good questions there, I will try and answer most of them.
1. He was injured in the previous two seasons, the Albion failed to diagnose a hernia and this affected his play. He was also suspended for quite a few games. Happy home life = happy work life = fewer red cards I suspect.
2. He has never scored 20 goals in a season before because he has never played 40+ games in a season. At 'Dale he scored 21 goals in 42 games, but it was spread over 20 month period.
3. Gus has certainly improved his game, his all round efforts have been immense this season, perhaps it is a combination of more experience, being fully fit and a different style of play.

This.....and I get the feeling with Bloom around, nine times out of ten within reason, Gus gets what he wants.
perhaps murray wanted to wait until his contract ran out and see what elese his agent could drum up. he doesn't have to sign for us just because we put a contract under his nose.

or maybe, just maybe it was because he was in the last year of his contract??
Great post, we need players who are committed. And I think some people are rating Murray very highly considering he's not been tested at championship level yet

That and the service he had made it so easy for him. Ashley Barnes even managed 20 with our team (and he is just a rookie).
Look. Nothing's changed since the start of the month, exept that players are now becomig "out of contract" and free to sign for whomsoever they can strike a deal with,
Nothings changed since Gus was saying this at the start of May. Murray knows what we can offer him and is testing the water to see if anyone bites with a better deal.
Brighton and Hove Albion manager Gus Poyet says contract talks with top-scorer Glenn Murray are in deadlock.
Murray, whose 22 goals have helped the club to the League One title this season, is out of contract this summer.
Poyet told BBC Sussex: "We have a limit and must work to those limits. If it's not enough, it's not enough.
"It's not like I can go out and make an offer like any other team, that is something we have explained and tried to sort out."
Poyet does not expect his playing budget next season to mirror those of all the other clubs in the Championship.
"We were in a situation where we were the fifth or sixth (highest) budget in the division," he said.
"We are going to another level and we will increase our budget a lot, but we are going to be middle or maybe worse depending on who comes down from the Premier League.
"This means our level of payment is going to be less than the top 10 or the top 12."

I think you need some anger management classes. Seriously.

Things have taken a twist.
Saints are now set to sign him.
Saints are now set to sign him.
the least the club can only offer him the value of the contract is he on until he is out of contract
While he is out of contrcat he will be linked with everyone

Reading all this certainly warmed the hartles of my...I mean the cockles of my heart.
I can honestly say, hand on heart, with all the impartiality I can muster and I swear this isn't sour grapes but I could only too easily see this transfer turning into a bit of nightmare for both player and club: a bored and disinterested Glenn Murray slouching around miserably in the rain and getting endlessly caught offside in front of an increasingly decrepit corrugated iron Arthur Wait Shed while being accused of being an ex-Brighton homosexualist by a load of spotty little nerds from Thornton Heath whose NHS glasses fall off their nose from celebrating their 92nd minuter equaliser in the last minute against Barnsley which drags them up to fourth from bottom again.
Yup. I'd much rather have that than striding out at Falmer with Gus Poyet, for the sake of finally being able to afford air conditioning on his BMW. What a twat, really.
