I doubt Glen will be able to keep up to speed this season for a whole game. He will either start but won't finish or will finish but only for the last 20 mins

What fast one touch counterattacking football was Glenn out of touch with?

the being offside and failing to suck the ref into blowing up for another "bought freekick"
am i getting whooshed?
As much as I still rate him, that was the case last season. Yet a desperate or untrusting of the others CH, sometimes flogged the bloke for the bulk of matches.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we kept that number unused for a season or two. I fully expect a new right back - but would be surprised if he gets No 2

This. A couple of injuries and a red card kept Andone out of a few games, not wanting to play big Jurg up front on his own and CH would keep GM on for 90 mins when he was clearly knackered.

Appreciate all he has done for the club, but cannot be a regular first team member in the Premeir League at 36. He will be tbe oldest 'striker' of all the teams in the top leagues in Europe. Bit/cup game player at best this season.

It doesn't matter.
He'll still score at least 10 goals this season.
You can almost set your watch by Glenn Murray - he's that reliable.

With better service from a far more creative team and tactics, there are PL goals still to come from Muzza.

Obviously Murray does need phased out at some stage, and cannot be our first choice striker next season, however in Murray we posses something most bottom half teams would give their left limb for...a proven premiership goalscorer. I suggest we keep him in a glass box on Potter's mantlepiece, with 'BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY' written in the front. Murray still has a lot more to give. You only have to look at the likes of Quagliarella in Italy to see how older players are still doing it at the top level.
Murray would be ideal as our 75th minute "need a goal" substitute who we can lump it forward to and who will cause mischief, especially in these VAR days. But he shouldn't be a regular starter by any means.

I just can’t see Potter relying on Glenn in the way Hughton did. I’ve watched the Ostersunds play reel (tragic I know) and some of Swansea’s games last season (even more tragic arguably) and he has NEVER seen the need for a goal hanger like Glenn to bale his teams out.
I agree he hasn’t ever HAD a Murray type in his teams but his signings indicate he’s going to play a strong Diamond through midfield with pace on the wings and multitasking players rather than “defend in depth and break”
Obviously it’s going to be a roller coaster to begin with but Murray doesn’t fit any model I envisage Potter using.
If we start badly or our players can’t adapt maybe...but I’ll be hugely surprised if Murray features for quite a while. He’s kept him, so can see some use...but I’m struggling with this.

But as CJ has pointed out, you said EXACTLY the same thing a year ago, and were proved wrong, yet you still log online everyday to stick the knife in to the bloke.
Murray scored seven times from the end of January onwards. How do six of those goals not count as offering anything, exactly?
See that? /\ /\
That isn't just objective assessment of a player's worth. It is unnecessary, spiteful, snide. You're supposed to be a Brighton fan

Now March and Knocky...and Andone / Locadia...different kettle, different fish. Hell. Potter might even get a tune out of Ali J.

Where would someone find that? Asking for a friend.
Has Murray personally done something to [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION]? This is genuinely getting a bit weird.
We get it - you don't think he should be our main striker this coming season. Almost everyone in the thread agrees that he will have at least a partially diminished role this year, due to his age and now near chronic lack of pace, however he still has certain attributes that can and will make him a very useful member of the squad.
Why not just leave it there?
