So..Murray cost us £450,000 in the end!

[34064 Fighter Command]

He's cost us f*** all

He's going to cost you an awful lot in wages though.............

Wages which we won't be paying him.

 

[little al]

And he will be scoring goals for us. He knew he was leaving for a bigger and better club.

 

[Jam The Man]

Technically... Muzza may have cost us even less than we think...

It was alluded to me that the sell on fee (£200,000) from the sale of Colin Kazim-Richards (Sheff Utd > Fenerbahce) ultimately may have paid for a large chunk of the Murray transfer..


Though maybe that was said to appease me!

 

[WATFORD zero]

4 places above you is my prediction.

Automatic Promotion ??!!!!

And he will be scoring goals for us. He knew he was leaving for a bigger and better club.

With all due respect to Glenn, he's not really in the Andy Johnson ( or Bobby Zamora ) calibre of strikers ( and he's a lot older than they were when they made the step up the leagues ), so I'd be a little bit wary of saying things like that just yet, especially if he gets injured and loses some of his pace as a consequence.

You will be lucky to finish above 16th imho.

He cost us nothing, if he gets 5 goals he will be worth every penny of that £0

Interesting piece regarding incoming and outgoing expenditure on players in the Argus today.

We bought Glen Murray for £300,000, we paid Rochdale an additional £1,000 per match for the first fifty appearances he made for us, then we paid Rochdale another £100,000 after we were promoted in April!

You forgot to add on the £500,000 for his replacement.

You will be lucky to finish above 16th imho.

I would be satisfied with that in our first season as long as all the qualities shown in getting promotion weren't sacrificed.

But it's NOT £0 is it, it's many many thousands a week he is costing you.

Typical palace, unable to get a grasp on reality.

 

[Oatway4England]

is Murray not earning any wages then?

 

[little al]

But it's NOT £0 is it, it's many many thousands a week he is costing you.

Yes, but the cash is going to him, not you, he will get extra wages in lieu of a cash payment to BHA. Win win for all of us, oh except BHA

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He's cost us f*** all

Apart from a large signing on fee and huges wages per week.

 

[drop dead fred]

He cost us nothing, if he gets 5 goals he will be worth every penny of that £0

so he didn't get a six figure signing on fee then ??

 

[Springal]

Palace boasting over a Brighton reject (Which is what he was, as we COULD have paid him the wages he wanted, but chose to go after other players......) skanks....

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Yes, but the cash is going to him, not you, he will get extra wages in lieu of a cash payment to BHA. Win win for all of us, oh except BHA

It's a great win for us because we can spend the money we've saved on SOMEONE ELSE, whereas you can't because you given it all to Glenn ( and you are paying over the odds for a league 1 player ), leaving you with LESS money to spend.

 

[Simster]

He's costing you £1.5m plus bonuses, over the next three years.

Two of which he'll spend injured

Lets hope not, Palace will have him insured.

I'd rather he just turned out to be f***ing SHIT in all three seasons.

 

[pauldcpfc]

so he didn't get a six figure signing on fee then ??

Nope.

Nor 5 figure wages.

 

[seagull_special]

Nope.

Nor 5 figure wages.

Why did he move to Palace then?

 

[drop dead fred]

Nope.

Nor 5 figure wages.

gus must of really rated him then !!!
