Yep, hard and perfectly placed. He would make a proven short term investment, assuming Bournemouth will sell him back at Brighton have no say in the matter (they won't be happy) Originally posted by thai-eagle
Glenn just showed how to take a proper penalty - Brighton 2-0 up vs QPR...

He's missed his fair share though Bournemouth 1-1 Watford: Glenn Murray misses late penalty as Eddie Howe's side are held at home by fellow promoted side Glenn Murray's missed penalty proves costly for Reading FC in defeat at Sheffield Wednesday Glenn Murray missed a penalty as Crystal Palace's barren run in front of goal continued

I can't believe that this post is still going! Look, we all loved Murray but we sold him for good money to a competitor (who are doing better than us...) and they got shot as well. How anyone can rationalise beyond that is beyond me. His level is Championship, I'm afraid.

.. it is still going because we badly need a proven striker NOW. Can you name a better striker (at a modest price) for the short term ? We spent 28 million on Benteke and for whatever reason he has not proved to be worth it - I am sure he, Murray or whoever we get will come good if we find the missing link - a ball holding, creative midfielder, so conspicuously absent in the second half against Watford when we looked like headless chickens.

Better at what level? This is a bit like pining after the ex who you let go but still keep thinking about ringing for a booty call. Sad

To suggest we have replaced like for like is utter nonsense. We sold Murray for a decent price to another Premier League side and he hardly cut the mustard for Bournemouth. Both Wickham and Benteke are better options up front and both have age on their side. No doubt people will chuck a few stats about and point to his current form but we are in a far tougher division and currently scoring goals. Time to let the past stay in the past. Benteke yet to prove he's worth 28-32 million pounds

I think we knew he was really worth 20m or so but once we got the money for Yala it wasn't so painful to overpay. Wickham has become injury prone, Remy always was.

Sadly I cannot see Sunderland selling their only "get out of jail" card to a relegation rival!

Has anyone considered that because Murray has played at PL level it has honed his skills against stronger / better defenders and, therefore, made him more difficult to handle against lesser Championship defenders (yes - I know he was good before). The same could be said of Gayle, although I appreciate they are playing him in the right set up at Newcassel.
So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

Ok here's the deal people. We have scored the 6th highest amount of goals in the league this season. That's amazing! But we've let in the 3rd most of goals at the other end. Personally I'd say it's the latter we need to sort first. Yes if Benteke gets injured we need to find goals from elsewhere but let's be far Benteke hasn't scored all 29 of our goals. So I say again it really is the defence we should be worried about. I can not understand the necessity to spend our limited resources on goals when we're the sixth most efficient goal machine already.
