This.
Spot on Edna, I couldn't have written it better myself, my feelings exactly.

Given the lack of emergency loans next season, the club need to look at options of 4 strikers who they believe they will be available for a cumulative of c 140 games (so they have at least 3 available per game)
Save the knee injury and the poorly treated hwrnia, Murray has been fairly injury free but is ageing
Baldock has injury concerns
Hemed seems quite sturdy regarding injury
What we can't have is a zamora situation of good player but not available enough

A loan in January may well have been a good quick fix, but it didn't happen for whatever reason, so we move on.
Signing him now he would presumably be wanting a two, or even a three, year contract, and I don't see that as building for the future.

9 months ago Eddie Howe took a look at Glenn Murray and decided he was worth £4 million on a 3 year deal, and this is a Premier League club. Eddie Howe is a good manager.
Glenn hasn't played much football since them. Therefore, if you can get a player like him on a free you've got to bring him in. He knows the club, he lives in the area, he'll hit the ground running and I'd back him to score 1 in 3 next season.
For every Ulloa there is a David Rodriguez, it's unlikely we'll be able to pull off another coup like Leo - possible, but unlikely.

This is a Premier League team with untold riches and barmy owners. They can afford to lose big money on one player. We can't.

I often wonder whether Howe bought him to play and score for them or stop him scoring for his opponents in a possible relegation battle.

Clearly not the future, at that age. I would like to know what alternatives we could be in for before I could decide on GM.

I cannot think of a player who could fill BZ shoes better than GM but then I am not part of the recruitment team.

I certainly wouldn't complain if he came here, I hold nothing against him (or indeed any player, wherever they've been), but given CHs track record, I suspect he may have other thoughts in mind, but we'll see.

They're now in the top 40 richest clubs in the world.
Maybe. Doesn't really compare to our situation then.

The difference being, of course, that Bobby was a free agent, Murray is one year into an expensive three(?) year deal. I suspect too that his wage demands would exceed BZ's (no evidence for this, just a gut feeling), and of course B'muff would want a substantial portion of their £4 million quid back.
If CH wants him, and a deal can be struck, I'm not going to argue about it - they know their business far far better than I do! - but I wouldn't be hugely excited. Nothing like the emotional impact of the return of Zamora!
Rumoured that Bournemouth are willing to let him go on a free and Fulham happy to pick up his £30k pw
Sorry if that has already been posted. I've felt a couple of times though over the last 4 years we were a Murray away from promotion....

Paper talk Fulham, QPR & Reading in for him
on about 30k a week. Hindsight is a beautiful thing but had we signed him on loan in Jan!!!
When Boro signed Rhodes for £10m that probably was the difference of going straight up and not.
Would Murray improve us next season....yes, sign him up!

- Club did try and sign him but a deal couldn't be done
- Given the difference was 2 goals across a total of 46 games you could pinpoint literally anything and say "that was the difference" but yep who knows.
- As we only have 2 first team strikers on the books then Murray would improve us but then so would dozens of other strikers who might be younger, have better sell on value, be better vfm etc but of course he'd be a valuable addition.
- Hemed scored more goals since January than any other player in the division. including Rhodes and Gray.

Agreed. Plus we will should get far more football out of Glenn, being three years younger than Bobby Zee.
