Murray would have made all the difference, this season and last. Gus's biggest error. The guy is absolute class and just what we are missing.

i'd rather have murray than CMS
Murray is past his peak. I cannot blame him for going for higher wages as his career is coming to an end soon.
Barnes is coming up to his prime. He was only just below Murray but that could put down to him being older.
I think our training technique is being upped a bit. This should help Barnes.

That is obviously not a serious suggestion. Yes he has done well for Palace who are experiencing a purple patch. I would sooner have signed George Boyd from Peterborough to complement the way we play.

i'm actually being serious. i just don't rate CMS. he has no strength, first touch, composure, aerial ability, ball control - the list goes on. Yes, he runs around a lot, but what use it that if you have none of those other abilities?

I am glad the club look forwards and not backwards.

Th only one that Murray beats him at is aerial ability the rest he is as good if not better at than Murray plus he is much much quicker. I cannot see where you get this list of his failures from because I haven't seen it. His first touch to balls in his grasp and close ball control are very good.

Murray is a class striker when given the service , holds the ball up we'll can head good touch and knows where the net is
Far to good to give away?

Yes scored 5 goals from open play so far big deal.

He would have been ideal to have on the bench to bring on if and when needed. I dont think that Gus would have started him too often.
It was always a bit awkward having Barnes and Murray in the same squad as often only one of them would make the first team. Murray was blocking the development of Barnes. The idea would be to get a younger faster player to compliment one of them. Barnes being the younger more complete player (if less presence as an actual goalscorer) was a fraction ahead as the best to keep. I still think we ought to have kept him until and better "magical" striker came along.
Neither Macca or Barnes seem to have guile or the clinical ability or awareness I like to see in our main striker, but both make up for it with hard work. And I think it was hard work that gave us the superiority over Leeds.
When did we get a last headed goal? Thinking of Macca against Sunderland, Barnes against Wrexham, Vincelot against someone, but my memory is not so good now.
