Unless it actually happens we won't know anything for sure. Brighton could ask Bournemouth for Murray, and get turned down. The club aren't going to come out publicly and tell us that we've been turned down.
He had an offer from Millwall on the table too, but Palace made the highest offer, plus a signing on fee.
It's fairly obvious to me, that she wanted to continue living in Brighton, but knew the hassle he would get playing for Palace, so tell everyone that he wasn't wanted to shift the blame...
