Glenn Murray please Mr Bloom....

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

All of the above is fair, however the glaring omission for me is that O'Grady never even looked like scoring or was even in a position to miss. Hemed has had blocked shots, hit the woodwork and at times been unfortunate.

I would give you Ashley Barnes, comfortably a better player than both Hemed and COG, but received terrible criticism from some on NSC.

That just about sums it up.

As for FFS obviously he is lazy,disinterested and picking up a pay check. He loved Palace so much

Mind you he scored on Sat and we did used to liken him to Berbatov.

Trouble with the 93 day loan is what happens in the playoffs!!

I think we may just cope or you can get special dispensation to include P/O matches.

 

[Marshy]

what's the OBSESSION for EX players!!! I remember Murray 1st 2 year at the club, he was s***, it's gone leave it be!! do you stalk your ex''s? ??

I tell you what my obsession is.... if they are miles better than what we currently have i want them back if possible.

Yep agree - fair comment re o'grady not looking like scoring. At the end of the day he is a striker! One mission, ball sits at the back of the net. Agree with Barnes quote, yes got plenty of stick where I sit, barnsey another like Hemed - (there, but not quite) not clinical. I liked Barnes not giving enough credit. We want a clinical scorer of goals, although at a great cost hey! Lack of a cheap goal is a big worry hey.

Exactly right we need the best available within our bufget irrespective of colour creed or previous clubs etc.

Too slow. Rumours that he's been lazing around in training. Yesterday's man.

It's an observation that has been made before, that Glenn Murray is always great in the last year of his contract, then reverts to the 'other' Murray with 3 more lucrative years in his back pocket.

He wasn't bad in his 2nd season at Palace. And his record with a much poorer Albion team around him was still pretty good - the problem was the homesick/hernia issues. Another classic NSC myth.

Murray will go on a 93 day loan to either Reading , QPR, Fulham, Brentford, Charlton or us.

It may depend who is the most desperate for a striker to pay the highest loan fee.

If that is the choice I would suggest it would be us or QPR to replace the sold or injured Charlie Austin.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Nah. I'd rather slip down the league than have JUDAS back. It's the same principle I have with women. If she left me and then smoked the bone with my worst enemy I wouldn't have her back either. No matter how good in bed she was.

A man must have some principles. Glory hunting be damned.

So, is that a maybe?

NO HE WASN'T! Sorry for shouting but so tired of this re-writing of history. Go back and look at his goal to game record. He scored at a rate of 1 in 2 in EVERY season with us. He was quality, some of his play with Forster was fantastic.

Well. I suppose I might do her up the Gary and post it on her mums Facebook. But only once. A chap must have principles.

 

[Stat Brother]

I tell you what my obsession is.... if they are miles better than what we currently have i want them back if possible.

But are they miles better than every other footballer on the entire planet?

There's tens of thousands of footballers out there.
There are thousands of footballers available.
There must be hundreds available who 'could do a job'.

Why the fook would you be so small minded as to be obsessed with players who clearly weren't good enough first time round?

okay, in my opinion (an I saw every game at withdean) I thought he was a lazy waste of money for at least 1st season and a half and didn't know why he was so much money (it was expensive for us at time,record fee) appreciate he had hernia that no one knew about but until the last season I REALLY didn't rate him!

When GM arrived he had this dreadful habit of fiddling about with the ball on the edge of the area. The whole of withdean would be begging him to SHOOT...but he never did.

Instead what we got was endless drivel about his homesickness ruining his game...homesickness for a bird who he suddenly binned. He did come good but bloody hell. To start with he was SHOCKING.

Agreed, my favourite player from the day he first played to the day he left. He didn't run around kissing the badge but was a different class to just about every other player in the side the whole time he was here. Some fans are just too needy for players who "feel the love"

Err that is rubbish.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Err that is rubbish.

In your opinion. I was a STH at withdean and remember the whole of H block tearing their hair out whilst Murray Fannied around. Like I say he discovered his mojo in the end and became a great player but he was very frustrating to watch in the beginning.

He was 300k I believe and the first player we had paid a fee for in quite a while (funded by TB even then if I recall) but we were paying more for players in the early 80's.
