There will come a time when Gus starts to look elsewhere and maybe the offer will be withdrawn, wouldn't be surprised if Aranalde and Stevenson had already sussed out a few replacements.

Murray offered substantial pay rise, deal still deadlocked

Will Glenn sign new deal?

What's annoying about it?
These are contract discussions between an employer and an employee and will go on until an agreement is reached ... or otherwise. Same as any contract negotiations in any other business. Neither party is under any obligation to make a decision in any particular timescale and each will have his own view of when it's time to end it if nothing can be agreed. Still normal.
One side clearly want to keep the employee, albeit within certain pay limits - very sensible. The other party is looking to get the best deal he can. Wouldn't we all?
What will be, will be but I can't see anything 'annoying' about it at all.
I agree- not sure if Lambert, for all his ability, is mobile enough to excel in the Championship. Connolly's class but he's ageing and injury-prone and isn't Barnard possibly going to prison?
Murray's got the all-round ability to cut it at the next level and I think we should do everything reasonable to hold on to him. Which it seems we are, just as he's quite reasonably seeing what he might earn somewhere else. It's called negotiation people, it happens, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a decision either way before July.

if Murray were to go, would want us to get David Goodwillie in place. Funny name aside, scored 16 goals in the SPL this season in a relatively sucessful Dundee United team that we're alledgedly getting this Gomis and Buaben pair from. SPL obviously isn't an amazing standard of football but from what i've seen on TV and other videos he has been a very good player.

Sorry but although Murray is a fantastic player, Lambert is a better player than him. In the last 3 seasons Lambert has passed the 30 goal mark twice and twenty once, I don't think mobility is an issue either, you only need to look at Grant Holt and Danny Graham (both of whom scored 20+ in League one) to see you don't need that good mobility to score hat fulls in the championship anyway.
Fair enough opinion - I have to say I'm suprised by how good Holt has been.
But Murray isn't just your typical poacher like they are. He has defensive qualities, play maker, holds the ball up well.
Compare our performance in games when he did / didn't start and you'll see how good he is
Isn't he the bloke who was being accused of rape?
If not, my humble apologies to him.

Murray will stay at Brighton.

Think so yeah, appearing in court soon I believe. But on the field he's been labelled as one of Scotland's hottest properties so I reckon he must be worth a look, especially if we're already looking in Scotland.
Great figures, obviously, although those totals include about 15 penalties and direct free kicks. He takes all their set plays. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind.
If Murray was a reliable penalty taker, he would have scored 35 goals this season

His car might not have wheels but his new house will.
