Murray got I think 6 goals in the season after the left us. He is scoring plenty for us, at home that is (not away !!) due to the service he is receiving. His scoring is invaluable but let's not make him something he is not.

You sir are an idiot. Just joking, I probably thought the same.

Where is [MENTION=34942]Dr. No[/MENTION] ?
The first season when Murray scored 6 and CMS scored 11, most people were ok with it, apart from Palace beating us 3-1 at the Amex.
It was the following year when Holloway took over from Freedman that Murray scored loads.
He said, " I bet at the time WE ALL thought, CMS in Murray gone was a good compromise."
I didn't, hence my answer.

Reports were that Murray wanted £12k back in 2011. We only offered £10k and didn't wish to break the pay structure. Many supporters said we should take the hit and increase his wages but I along with many others was delighted that we signed CMS and thought we had a superb goalscorer in our ranks.
Many of us would've liked Murray to stay but were equally delighted to sign CMS as a replacement. It turns out to have been a poor decision based on how the team played for the following 3 seasons but one I think most fans were content with

Don't forget the profit we made on Ulloa covers the CMS loss. And Ulloa would never have been our player if we'd still had Murray. Also wasn't CMS wanted as a supplement to Murray, not as a direct replacement?
Swings and roundabouts.
It's not as if we bought someone from South America for £15m, only for him to make 3 sub appearances, complain about being homesick, and swiftly jettisoned somewhere on loan.

I bet you weren't complaining when Macca was scoring every week when he first signed.
Depressing thread. If only I had been born at a different time to diferent parents I could have been diferent, and now I will start a conversation about in what way it would have been different. Really? Count me out.

I remember the CMS thread on here at the time, refreshing it every 5 minutes, took all day and we were all VERY excited.

I was in the never happy camp after having the opportunity to attend the infamous SOL meeting where Poyet was present.
Quite obviously didn't rate Murray.
Was also very dismissive of the FA Cup and United FC of Manchester around that time. That somewhat backfired - was it two replays ?
I fell out of love with after that meeting.

Now you mention it. I think it is an important inquiry.
