Is there any substance to this? Or more accurately, any news from our many sources on such a move?

Would it be even possible, and i guess more relevantly, would he be willing to do it and would we accept him?

Glenn Murray?

Like Gus Poyet, never heard of him.

As much as I (and presumably a number of others on here) would love to see him return I expect it's just the social media rumour mill making it up, although given he may be down the pecking order with them up the A23 it could be possible, or maybe I'm just hoping a tad too much...

Yes please, with him and a new keeper I'd be confident of a good season, plus a LB, Ward please

If we couldn't meet his wage demands when he left why should we now?

I don't wish to be negative but if we were to part with some serious money to get him back and he turned out to be awful due to injury/our new style of play/other factors, our Palace foes would be laughing at us for the next 20 years or so. Also, how could we meet his wage demands when we weren't able to previously? Signing Murray would be like playing Palace, amazing if it works out but horrific if it goes wrong.

We could have met his wage demands but Poyet didn't think he was worth it.

That's the truth. He would have been relatively cheap to keep compared to the outlay on CMS, but Poyet wanted his own marquee signing!

Would be a good signing I think, (at the right price).
He apparently liked it at Brighton and there is a new regime now.
He has had a taste of Premiership football now and could be hungry for a return.
Some say that he didn't want to go but felt he had to.

Times change, more importantly circumstances change too. IMO letting Glenn go was one of the very few times Mr Tony got it wrong. He's a sharp operator but no one is right all the time. So maybe this is the time to put that right.
I consider that if Glenn's even nearly as sharp as he was for us previously, and at a fraction of the income from Leo's sale, that really has to be very good business. So fingers crossed I'd say.

Why would palace sell him? Isn't he only one of two strikers at their club currently?

Would be a good signing though. Also use Ulloa's money and go get Ward, stockdale, and a playmaker.

I'd love it can't see it happening though, why would Palace sell?

Will only happen if Glenn really wants it, and Pulis is happy letting him go.

Palace will also play to the gallery to get too big a fee as well, which could well put Tony off.

Let's also remember he is 31 now, and our team is already old enough as it is. We should be looking to the future, not the past.
