That does smack of agent talk - simple fact is we didn't think he was worth what he was asking but Palace did. Who got it right can only be judged at the end of next season and in the future
Clearly they would still like him here or they would not have offered a deal but they clearly do not rate him as much as your management team and therefore offered him what they felt appropriate. The fact is you are paying more than anyone else offered and admit you need (desperate?) for a...
Is it that we have been out priced or is it that our management team don't value him as much as yours? I have no doubt that if Poyet really wanted him he would be willing to match reasonable offers from other clubs. The fact Southampton, Millwall et al are not willing to pay as much as you would...
But results from a medical, especially when the player has a pre existing injury and previous, will effect the terms that the club are going to offer and the length of the contract. Would not be unheard of to have a medical and then finalise terms once the results are known
Why? Fail the medical and you pull out of the deal before getting bogged down in negotiations or uncover something in the medical could lead to less money or a shorter contract (Especially since Murray has pre existing injury and has previous problems)
Disagree, if he does choose to sign up here I will be chuffed not fussed if he went looking for a better deal (much the same as Calderon). He owes it to himself to get the best deal possible for him, if Palace want to pay him a too much money that is their problem and his gain
Can't believe some are saying he is not that good. Take Soton away for how much we miss him when not playing, best defender from set pieces and has control that that is sometimes unbelievable. I will be gutted if he goes and livid if he goes to Palace and really don't think he will be that easy...
Can't blame him for going for the money (its not we can't afford what he wants its what Gus and the management team think he is worth) but Palace of all clubs, should make the first game even more interesting though
