Murray to Palace

[clapham_gull]

If true, I hope that's the last we see of him in a Brighton shirt.

In any case we have the resources to buy better.

 

[Waynflete]

Exactly.

Absolutely no sources or substance, and the use of the phrase "League One Berbatov" says it all.

Maybe... but it's got the byline of Graeme Bailey, who is clearly a professional journalist with Sky and it's on his Twitter account. I'd be surprised if he would jeopardise his professional reputation on a wind-up. As with all these stories it may not be true, obviously, but it won't be based on nothing at all.

EDIT: Beaten to it by Crasher and Oscar...

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Bloody hell guys, this is surely fishing ... it won't be the last don't rise to it, if players go, they go.

 

[severnside gull]

and the use of the phrase "League One Berbatov"

was it Mendoza who coined that one?

He will be pleased

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

If it's true, as soon as we wrap up the league he should be left out of the side.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Clutching to straws...

If an agent was pushing to get the best deal possible for their client, which club would you pick to force the hand of the Brighton chairman?

 

[Oscar]

The club must surely put a response out about this rumour - at least through the Argus. Naylor will be on the case as we speak.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Sorry!

We are not able to display this article at the moment.

 

[Rookie]

Naylor yesterday on his Q&A seemed pretty confident Murray would sign the deal and going on what Murray has said about playing at the AMEX next season it would be a bit of a shock to say the least

 

[y2dave]

Agent talk and leveraging his contract offer here IMO, Sky sources are nearly always agents who have their own agenda.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

was it Mendoza who coined that one?

It most DEFINITELY was not.

Exactly.

The phrase " SkySports.com understands " = Let's make something up so that loads of people click on our website and view the advertisments ............

But then some people will believe anything they read on the internet 'cos it must be true, mustn't it ............

 

[Brighton Breezy]

There is DEFINITELY more to this than Sky Sports making up rumours. I know that for a fact.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

I agree, but equally without naming any specific sources and just constantly saying "skysports.com understands", he hasn't libelled anyone, and can easily claim that he had reason to write the story. I have no idea how much journos are checked up on in this situation, and whether they are allowed to keep "sources" secret, but if Sky's attitude to the accuracy of lower league reporting on their website is anything like it is on SSN, I wouldn't be surprised if its not top of his editor's agenda.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I'm still BLOODY FUMING about the green shirt and now this BOMBSHELL.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Don't believe it.

 

[Oscar]

Well, until we hear something official, we should all chill out.

However, if there is a shred of truth to it, I for one would rather not see Murray in an Albion shirt again.

 

[severnside gull]

It most DEFINITELY was not.

ah. sorry WJ

agree with the comment above that Naylor was quite positive yesterday that Murray would stay. No disrespect to you WJ but if you heard the rumour on Monday then it would be a bit surprising if he hadn't and yet he said he thought he would stay. Is he maybe too close to the club?


Clutching at straws I think but hey ho...............................

 

[8ace]

Walt Jabsco I think.

 

[sam86]

Let's all send abuse to @graemebailey on Twitter for the sheer hell of it.
