would glen murray have made a difference?

Looking like a huge error.

It always looked like a whooper

 

[Albion Dan]

The reason we let Murray go was Gus Poyets ego. End of story.

Quite possibly 'This'

It was always a bit awkward having Barnes and Murray in the same squad as often only one of them would make the first team. Murray was blocking the development of Barnes. The idea would be to get a younger faster player to compliment one of them. Barnes being the younger more complete player (if less presence as an actual goalscorer) was a fraction ahead as the best to keep. I still think we ought to have kept him until and better "magical" striker came along.

Neither Macca or Barnes seem to have guile or the clinical ability or awareness I like to see in our main striker, but both make up for it with hard work. And I think it was hard work that gave us the superiority over Leeds.

When did we get a last headed goal? Thinking of Macca against Sunderland, Barnes against Wrexham, Vincelot against someone, but my memory is not so good now.

Barnes is not fit enough to clean Murrays boots.

Odd that Murray has never passed public comment. Maybe he can't, maybe he doesn't want to piss either BHA or Palace off, or maybe he just doesn't give a flying fukk.

Not public, but private. As i stated before, he did not want to leave Brighton, he was offered a couple of grand a week extra for promotion from league one, less than half of CMS supposed weekly wage, Palace offered another six grand above. Murray is over 30, he still lives in the area. He did not really want to leave.

Glenn is doing very well for us, never thought you should have let him go, its OK hes in a better place now

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

its OK hes in a better place now

Have you ever actually been to the SE postcode area?

Better place yes. He still lives around Brighton.

looks like this decision will haunt poyet.

Watching Poyet's side has largely been a pleasure most of the time. But in the end, if we don't score it is the sort of style that leads to frustration and apathy in the stands. And like many good managers who like their teams to pass the ball about, I think he has a bit of a blind spot with strikers. Murray scored 26 in our promotion season, and he's let him go for nothing and replaced him with a £3m league one striker. And now Murray has scored more in 4 days than CMS has managed all season. I know who I'd rather have leading the line.

How ? We offered a contract, he said no because he wanted more money so he left.

Most goals are penalties remember....

Hoorah, lets replace him with someone that cost a few million, is on more money and can't hit a barn door.

But HE wins most of them for Palace! No matter how you dress it up it's a MLFU. Major League f*** Up

Why are we still banging on about Glenn Murray? I don't understand it, he last played for us two season ago.

His all round play not just his goal has been fantastic hes a tough lad who holds the ball up we'll bringing the likes of zaha into the game

Yes, thats why CMS is our top scorer so far this season and currently joint 4th highest scorer in the league

Some people are stuck in the past of course.

We offered a poor contract, he wanted a little more but Gus didn't rate him (or like him) so he left. We then got in a striker for 2.5M, on MORE money who is less effective than the cheaper player we let go. It's one major f*** up.

Also I'd take any goals right now, even penalties, we've missed 2 of our last 3 pens anyway.
