I been seeing speculation on social media that Glenn Murray is coming back...

[Bladders]

Is there any substance to this? Or more accurately, any news from our many sources on such a move?

Would it be even possible, and i guess more relevantly, would he be willing to do it and would we accept him?

Isn't this just from Football Rumours?

The sole source for this is

This account is a relatively new transfer account that confirms already widely known stories (eg: Ulloa) or tweets speculative hunches like Murray. I'm 99% certain its just someone doing it for fun. For example see the most well know example of how these accounts operate...

Of course fans want to believe the Murray rumour so it gets picked up further

As much I am sure he could do a job, so can any number of players with his ability. His age and injury history would denote to me we should only be interested if he was free. I would be disappointed if we spent a decent chunk of a well earned transfer fee and gave it Palace on a 31 year striker.

Don't know, don't know.

Yes, yes, (largely) yes.

Yes, yes, NO

 

[R. Slicker]

Yes please! All together now.

There's only one Glen Murray
There's only one Glen Murray
He played for the shite
But now he's alright
Walking in a Murray wonderland.

Too soon?

Brighton are in tentative talks with Crystal Palace regarding taking Glenn Murray back on a permanent deal. The stumbling block appears to be both clubs valuation of the player are still miles apart.

Wonder where TRANSFER CENTRAL gets his info from?

We could have met his wage demands but Poyet didn't think he was worth it.

Yet another 'fact' invented by NSC.

 

[Wellesley]

I'd rather get Ryan Harley back.

 

[AZ Gull]

What most certainly IS fact is that Murray left and we then went and splashed a load of cash (in transfer fee AND wages) on CMS.

It came from a member of the board at the time of the transfer so I'm not going on what I read on here.
Since then I've heard the GM's father-in-law tells a similar story.

Must be a fact then. Cause I heard Tony B say publically that to keep Murray would have broken the wage structure, but I suspect he was lying eh!

 

[Biscuit]

He left us to join our rivals.. And then fired them into the Premiership.


I don't want to see him in a Brighton shirt again tbh,

 

[Return of the Rev]

How much should we pay? 8 million?

Why? Why would Glenn Murray leave Premier League, Palace to drop back down to the Championship?
Why?

The explanation for this, was that at the time, there were two separate budgets, one for transfers and one for wages. Poyet is supposed to have pushed to get this consolidated into a single budget. Hence at the time we were able to spend big on transfer fees, but not commit on wages. The truth is likely to be a combination of the two, for example if Poyet had chosen to push hard to get this policy changed before the Murray move, would it have made a difference ?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Isn't he under contract to Palace until 2016 anyway . I tell how this started some bozo has noticed he lives in Brighton and probably thinks he has probably just moved here .

Fact!!

This is what Gus said about the transfer in early 2012
"We couldn't afford [his wage demands]"

[chaileyjem]

Why? I look at my lovely Mrs and wonder WHY? Why would she reject previous wealthy suitors to be with me. Why?
It's then I consider Hoddle maybe got it right, I'm being punished for previous life sins!
