Transfer Spec - Murray Being tracked (SSN)

[227 BHA]

I actually find it hard to believe that any of our players would choose to leave now? To have endured a number of dross seasons bobbing around the relegation zone and playing at Withdean to be within touching distance of The Amex and (hopefully) Championship football and to walk away would surely be such a letdown for them personally and professionally?
I know I see it as a fan but as a player they must have built an affinity with the club and our situation over the last few years and to leave on the brink of our finest hour would seem insane?

I can see where you are coming from, but if someone offered you the chance to double, triple, or even quadruple your wages, you would seriously give it a thought!

Sounds bad

I know, but to leave us and the Amex for somewhere like Scunthorpe!! C'mon??!!

Besides, hopefully with a new contract on the table I can't see the likes of Scunny offering "double, triple or quadruple" wages

And didn't we outbid Scunthorpe for Sparrow's services this season?

I think Murray will go where the money is best. I dont think he has any emotional attatchment to the club or fans here. I do like Murray, he is a superb player and great to watch, but he is here to do a job and thats where it ends for me.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

If what Bozza says is true then I think Murray will be gone soon. I can't see an extra £100k or so would tempt Bloom/Poyet to sell. It would be a straight no if they wanted him to stay.

The negative effect Murray leaving will have on everyone, will almost certainly in my opinion cost us promotion. Like someone else said, i'd rather lose him for nothing at the end of the season with promotion secured!

But if we stop a move Murray wants we may as well not have him anyway because if he does not wanna turn up at a game he wont, and he has done that plenty of times

Bloom wont let Murray move for nothing ! This is murrays last big contract choice as he is now in his prime ,if as already written he can treble his money then he will be temped . Poyet however will have some money for the "special one " and maybe more . What price Glenn Murray ,i reckon £500000

 

[HP Seagull]

The only way we will let Murray leave is if it's an excellent deal for the club because, let's face it, we're no longer in a position where we have to sell. If it is true that Bloom is now backing us in going all out for promotion, we will also only let him go with someone else lined up.

Saying that, I'd be surprised if we let him go at all.

Good news... U-turn, but #scunthorpe have now ended interest in #bhafc's Glenn Murray. Bara: "We've not had permission to talk to Glenn, so we move on."

It would be the clubs choice to sell now, not Murray's.

He'll be in a stronger position if he moves in the summer. I can't see us wanting to sell our best forward, given how difficult it is proving to bring another one in. I'm certain he'll be here for the remainder of the season (at least) unless we either receive an offer too good to turn down from a club not wanting to compete for his signature in the summer, or use him as a player + cash transfer (Murray willing).

I hope he signs his new contract here.

Iron boss rules out swoop for Brighton striker

Murray: In demand

Scunthorpe boss Ian Baraclough has admitted defeat in his attempts to lure Brighton forward Glenn Murray to Glanford Park.

As revealed by skysports.com, the Seagulls striker has emerged as a target for a number of clubs, with Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday also linked with his services.

Baraclough confirmed he had approached the League One leaders over their in-form forward, but was given little encouragement that a deal could be struck and is now resigned to looking elsewhere.

"Yes, Murray is a player we have enquired about, but Brighton want to keep him," Baraclough told the Scunthorpe Telegraph. "I am sure we are not the only club interested in him.

"We are not a Manchester City who can offer over the odds for players they want.

"I am sure Murray has an agent who is being very active at the moment.

"We have not had permission to talk to Glenn, so we move on, look somewhere else."
Performing

And Brighton remain relaxed over retaining the services of one of their key players as they target promotion to the Championship.

Assistant manager Mauricio Taricco believes it is inevitable there will be speculation surrounding Gus Poyet's squad when they are producing the goods on the field.

Taricco told The Argus: "Of course we are aware that, because of the way the players are performing, they are going to attract attention.

"We are doing well as a team and so obviously are the players as individuals. It's going to happen.

"The way we are performing it was a matter of time.

"These things will happen, because if you play a good style of football and the strikers are scoring goals and defenders are not letting goals in then attention is coming for sure. It's normal."

Like it, 'Brighton want to keep him'.

In fact, forget it.
I want us to sign him now, just to put the Seaweed fans in their place on that forum. lol
Players at this level still get their heads turned by clubs like Weds, Leeds, Southampton etc.
I agree that we should be taking the best players from the tin pot clubs like Brighton against their will.

Excuse me
