Palace fans turning on.Murray

[Seagull Steve]

If his attitude were okay rolleyes I'd take him back like a shot.

Of course CMS is a better player, but the two together would be superb.

I agree with that hkfc, he would provide the height we need and his hold up play was very good and his defensive play was great too. People may hate him as he is now a Nigel, but without him, I don't think we'd be where we are now. But will his attitude be his downfall at palace? yes I think it will in the end.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm sure this thread will make North Stand Chat in the next day or so and there fans will try and make out that we've turned on him already, there so desperate for him to fail deep down!

Well he gt tht right...waste of time bothering with there chat

"I can't wait until the end of the season when CMS, Barnes and maybe Hoskins (depending on starts) have scored more goals than Murray, Palace have pinned all there hopes on one player, we've got so many exciting players".................. Noone, Lua Lua, Buckley, this is now a side you can really believe is going places, especially having survived the brutal tactics of Sunderland the other night, CMS must be covered in bruises.

Some of these comments are pathetic.

No Glenn Murray, no promotion. He was immense last season, anyone who thinks different is living in la-la land.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Do people remember that before Gus came,Murrays scoring record was not that good...14 I think was the most he scored in a season. It was only Gus that motivated him,taught him how to play Gus way....Don't know if Freedman can do the same,but it will be interesting to keep an eye on his progress. Murray back...Nah! ..Zammy back...yes!

 

[El Presidente]

If his attitude had been OK, it's possible he'd still be here because the club might well have paid his wage demands.

It was the length of contract that was the issue, as well as his ex-wife taking him to the cleaners. He needed the security of a 3 year deal and Gus was not prepared to offer more than 2.

Steve Parish, in the FYP podcast, when asked why Glenn Murray chose Palace:

He likes Dougie and what he has to say. He seemed to like Palace and have an affinity to the club. He obviously can remember when we were in the premier league.

You believe the bollox players say in podcasts? Bless.

That was then, this is now.

Most of us acknowledge his contribution last season-thanks Glenda, however, he went over to the dark side and because of that he is fair game for all the bad wishes he is getting. I don't wish him any serious injuries but I hope his career in Croydon is a disaster.

Seemed to like them ... WOW what an accolade

Good to see him signing for a side because they used to be in the Premier... Hope for Palace neither Bradford or Swindon come knocking

You are wrong, his goals to games record was

Wilkins 0.38
Adams 0.42
Slade 0.27
Poyet 0.41

That's fair enough, we should all want Palace to have a crap season, they are our rivals after all.

However, people wishing career finishing injuries on him are pathetic morons.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

He is still a quality player though. Admittedly Poyet seemed to bring the best out of him last season, but he certainly has bags of skill and wouldn't look out of place in most championship sides. I for one won't forget the huge contribution he made last season, both in attack and defending.

He'll either bounce back from this injury and be a decent striker for palace, just not sure their style of play will suit him that much. I still think he'd have a lot to give in our current side as he can simply make a goal out of nothing if he's in that frame of mind. Which is the crucial thing with Glenn, will Freedman be able to do what poyet did and keep him in that frame of mind.

Youve got it exactly, 'if Glenn is in the right frame of mind', too often he wasn't, but if he had the ambition to hit the heights, to get to the top, then l've no doubt Glenn Murray could still achieve it. But does he want to?.

A lot fewer than the wankers who were giving him abuse when he played at Brentford a few seasons ago then.

Of course a 3 year deal is better for him than a 2 year deal. A 2 year deal would have meant he would have had to put more effort into his play to obtain another contract. With the 3 year deal, he can 'play' on his injuries etc etc for at a least a year. And before you start...he does have history.

What 'history' is that?

He was playing with a hernia that was not diagnosed by the club. He never 'played' on the injury, the club's medical team screwed up.

And there's me thinking some painkiller solved all his problems...! Or was that just another 'money making exercise'...?

 

[xenophon]

"Just to the left behind the goal there was a bloke telling him to "f*ck off back to Brighton" on his debut."

Erm, no thanks. I'd completely forgotten about that lazy, money grabbing twat. I know we lack a bit of height upfront but is anyone even close to missing Glenn Murray?

I don't hold quite your level of vitriol for him, but no I don't miss him at all
