Glenn Murray to sign today...

[Marshy]

So many idiots embarrassing themselves sadly

 

[cunningplan]

Disappointed, but there seems to be little alternative with the money we have available to buy a striker.
I was a big fan of Murray first time around.
Not now.

Disappointed why ? Highly unlikely he will be our main striker signing . As a replacement for Zamora it's great business

Fantastic news that Muzza is back - was gutted he left in the first place. But even more so I think this has been a very shrewd bit of business getting him in on a season long loan. We have avoided the outlay of a seven figure transfer fee and let's be honest, if he does the business for us this season then going into next season he'll be 33, we'll want to keep him and I would imagine that Bournemouth will have to accept that they will no longer get that sort of money for a 33 year old and would have to accept offloading him to us for only a nominal fee, if not on a freebie (especially if they stay up again) ! In the meantime we still have the funds in the transfer kitty to get another striker and centre back ! Can't wait for the season to start ! UTA

Shrewd business - nothing more or less. Uninspiring...........

....because this is 'practical' not inspiring, 'business' not an emotional buzz. I am okay with it as long as he scores but if he kisses the badge in celebration I will probably want to vomit.

i think this is a good replacement for Bobby. I am hoping the Baldock/Wilson upgrade will be the marquee record fee signing. we won't really be able to judge how shrewd the Murray signing is until we know who else we sign.

As a Zamora replacement (slightly older head, mostly back up but with an eye for goal and real presence) I genuinely can't think of a better realistic option.

Skalak cross, Murray header, it just sounds right, no?

Skalak offside , Murray INJURED , sounds right

If he plays for us like he did that season for palace he can kiss what he likes.

Seems like Murray will be the replacement for Bobby, decent signing as its on loan. Would of been a bit annoyed if we had paid for him.

 

[BrianWade4]

Wonderful news
Great player

 

[Cheggers]

But where will O'Grady play? Surely this puts him further down the pecking order.

On 15k a week, will he care?

If he is on that we need to sell....quickly..

....difference of opinion I'm afraid. I like my football to be a little less cynical - and (foolishly I know) a little more emotionally fulfilling!

Perhaps Burton will buy him or even take him on loan for the year.

 

[portslade seagull]

Murray is the hold up player we've been missing. He will get the best out of the others

This. Murray is utterly superb in the hold up role. He will improve the TEAM.

He isn't even in the pecking order. He will be gone soon along with the others who've been told they can leave.

And great at coming back to defend corners too!
