Murray to Palace (merged threads)

[portlock seagull]

All the more reason to hate Palace. Nice one Glenn, bring it on I say!!!

What it will mean, is that if Murray gets £10k a week, a few other Palace players will be knocking on the manager's door....

I think this is the only reason we've not agreed to his wage demands - we don't want other players demanding more and putting the overal wagebill up significantly

oh, wrong thread possibly.

Gus or Bloom won't be affected in the slightest. Just fans letting off steam.

Gus proved as a player and manager that a winner, and always positive as a man.

It's football business to them and was on the cards for 6 months.

If they wanted to, they could meet the pay demands, so it's their call.

Just frees up even more £kX per week on not meeting the Palace or Millwall package, for replacements (plural).

Look very carefully at what Gus has actually said regarding the matter, he was quoted as saying;

'We have made what we consider to be a good offer for a player unproven at Championship level'

Reading between the lines, this tells me that higher wages will be on offer for strikers who are proven at the higher level.

Poyet knows exactly what he is doing, as does Bloom.

Poyet doesn't really rate Murray, he knows better than me, we'll buy better.

I always think in these cases. Sign a deal for a year at fair wages. If he meets certain criteria and targets it automatically triggers two more years at what we would consider for a 'proven champ player' and if not player has option to extend another single year at old wage or seek new club.

Poyet and Bloom have made the right decision on this one.

Letting our best player go for free is good is it?

 

[samtheseagull]

Anyone that thinks Murray is not that important to us is wrong, i agree that we shouldnt offer silly money for him but we have been poor when he has not played this year. Im sure Gus and Tony will replace him tho.

Of course I would rather he had signed a new contract before it had expired this summer but unfortunately that did not happen. What I mean is that we are not going to pay players more than we think they are worth. That is the right way to go.

 

[Goldstone-Ghost]

If he goes. he goes.

No player is bigger than the club (remember the Nicky Forster affair) ... Gus got that that right and we can trust his judgement again. As a point of principle he won't offer more than he feels Glen is worth as an unproven Championship player.

Of course we can afford to match any offers that have been made to him, but what message would that send out to the rest of the squad? If you want a pay rise, just threaten to leave! No!!

I guarantee that when we line up for that first league game in August, with our best 11 players, we'll all be excited! The two players standing in the centre circle with the ball at their feet (toss permitting of course!) one of them will probably be Ashley Barnes, the other, currently unknown; but we'll be excited! Because he'll be a proven goalscorer at this level and possibly higher. A "name", someone who will quite possibly be on more money than Glen Murray!

I want Glen to stay, because I think he's good enough, but the prospect of him making way for someone even better is actually preferable in my opinion!

Well we couldn't command a transfer fee for a player we don't even own.

Thank you Superphil. With the exception of this post, every comment made on this page has been made a dozen times before over the previous 54pages. Possibly time to end it? How about we all agree not to mention Murray again until he either signs for us, or someone else. Deal?

 

[Kazenga <3]

A snide part of me thinks though couldn't we get Muzza to sign a contract and agree to transfer list him straight away to ensure we get some money?

 

[clapham_gull]

I don't believe Poyet ever rated him, probably more to do with general attitude than talent.

He's undoubtedly improved him this season, but both Bloom and Poyet have still have enough concerns about not to offer above what they consider to be his worth.

He doesn't want to play for the club, so he is best gone. Although he was our best striker last season, I'll be honest to say I've never really liked him and won't miss him a jot.

Kazenga! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Let it go.......

Well, no, as he'd forfeit the massive signing on fee he'll get for going on a free somewhere.
