Glenn Murray

He is the Brighton sub who was booked for that rash challenge on Dickson. He is a very decent and skillful 6ft 2 ins striker who joined Brighton from Rochdale about 18 months ago.

He is apparently desperate to get away from Brighton and got a lot of stick from their fans when the team was warming down after the game.

I know that AS has always been a great admirer of Murray and just wonder if perhaps he might take an interest in the situation as I suspect that Brighton would be very keen to sell or maybe even loan him out and he would certainly add to what we have got.

I thought it was 300. Puts him well out of our range if indeed Andy is even interested. Jordan Rhodes is already looking the bargain of the season. Huddersfield wont hang on to him for long if he keeps banging them in at the current rate of knots.

Why is Glenn Murray so disliked by the Brighton supporters?

If you look on their fans forum, half the posts seemed to be aimed at criticising him.

How absolutely bizarre. 19 goals in 38 starts is 1 in 2, which is a useful benchmark for a striker. What do they want a goal a game?

I can only guess that the £300k price tag has put unreasonable expectations on him, unless he has Paul Brooker'd them at some point. Slade hoping he will stay is hardly reassurance that he will stay.

His wife and kid haven't settled down south apparently, and he's been playing like a man who doesn't want to be there. Yesterday's abuse was triggered by his refusal to acknowledge the Brighton fans' applause after the game...

more likely looking for a move back up north then more than a move to London?

From what I've read in the past they really rate him. Possibly any criticism relates to his desire to move away? I think he'd be an excellent signing, but given the fee when he moved to Brighton, I can't see it happening.

Could be a bit much with Charlie, Strevens, Cort, Kabba and even Weston as front options. Ok some are injured, not on song, short contracts whatever but cant see Brighton letting him on loan and surely a perm deal is out of our league?

interesting though :suspect:

I remember him going to Brighton and thinking he would bag a lot of goals for them. As he did for his previous club but cant remember who that was??

Could be a replacement for Cort if we can afford him. If I remember correctly AS said Carl was in whilst they replaced Elder. Now I may be wrong but am sure someone can qoute for me.

I'm sure you are right but in the current economic climate, there is no way Brighton are going to re-coup anywhere near the the £300,000 they paid for him. They'll be lucky to get a third of that money back.

Forget it, his wife is unhappy down here and wants to move back up north.

I know what you are saying. Andy Scott has brought in cort and kabba on 5 month and 1 year contracts respectively, that would surely mean with mac and strevens to come back he is looking at playing them. As much as I would like to see a a few forwards come in and make an impact like rhodes and clarke did last year I would be surprised if we suddenly went for another couple of forwards and left cort out in the cold. If AS wanted to use cort as a stop gap until he "got his man" he could have offered him a weekly contract. If cort wanted a longer deal he could have made do with myles and kabba until a new face appeared. What I think i am saying is that AS has brought in 3 strikers (including weston) on at least 5 months contracts so i fully expect him to use them for more than 1-2 games.

Surely it's "OOp north!!":wave:


Good player, dont think he is anywhere near as good as what we already have
Please quote this at a later date,
But I feel Cort, Weston, Kabba and Charlie will be more effective this year
(Haven't seen enough from Ben to form an opinion!)
