Please read the thread properly before posting... You'll see I make the case for keeping Gayle. Given the little time he was given on the pitch for us he was really good. I was at the liverpool game in 2014 when Gayle scored twice in the last 10mins to deny Liverpool the title. I watched Gerard and Suarez reduced to tears. What a shame.

I thought selling Gayle made sense. His contributions were patchy and he always looked lost when playing against the top sides. I know there was an argument that he needed to have someone up front alongside him to play off and I accept that to an extent but I still think he the Championship is his level.

However I think getting rid of Murray was not such a good idea. An old friend of mine had a spare ticket for Brighton's game against Swansea today, so, undercover, along I went. The fact is that he hasn't lost any of his instinct to be in the right place at the right time.Apart from his two goals he had another disallowed. He also won the penalty from which he scored. He also holds the ball up well and chases opportunities.

PS Swansea looked very poor today belying their recent good form

I've read the thread fine.. but thanks for your concern anyway. I merely asked you a question and put forward a suggestion as to why you might think some people on the thread are knobs??... No need to get so touchy.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

To top it off we have 5 million pound Jordan Mutch who for some reason doesn’t even make the bench when most of the senior squad are sidelined. Can anyone explain why he is still at the club if he is never getting a game. He looked fit in pre season and even scored a couple. Is he just there to collect wages till 2019?

Quite simply our last 3 Managers do not pick him for the first team .
He is under contract until the Summer of 2019.
Unless another club sign him he can continue to train and pick up his wages.
Another reason why the club are now more careful with there transfers.

Palace 13th 2017/18.

I genuinely think we will have to endure Gayle/Murray threads until the day they both retire.
Is there an auto thread button that admin can just activate every time either one of them scores just to save people from posting the mind numbing repetitive predictable posts about them not being at Palace any more?
I am not a betting man but I recon if either scores next week it will be slapped on here within minutes, churning the same old stuff that has been on here about the subject for months.
It is getting a little boring ...
