TETRA Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I hear Brighton have now finally agreed 93 day loan deal with Bournemouth for Glen Murray. To be officially announced on Friday so the loan period includes Play Off final, should they reach it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Now this is quite the coup for Brighton. One of the very few realistically available strikers who I think could potentially do a better job at Derby than anyone we currently have on our books. I have wanted the player to be wearing the black and white of Derby for quite some time now and to think it could have been this season leaves me feeling that we have missed out here. A player that does so much more than score goals, too. He can play behind a main striker or as the main striker. Wilson, Zamora and Murray. That's quite the forward line at Championship level and Brighton appear to have got over their blip in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think four wins from their last six constitutes better form from Brighton. Of their last six games, there is only Burnley with a better record from the top six.

Zamora and Murray's combined age (67) is 2 years younger than the 3 that started in midfield for us on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite the forward line at Championship level and Brighton appear to have got over their blip in form. Unfortunately for us I'm told by a friend who's a big Palace fan that Murray still has a house in Brighton & still has close links with the club from his time when he was last at the club. I seem to remember some years ago that he scored a load of goals for them under Poyet & help get Brighton promoted to the Championship. One of those players I think that wouldn't ever move his family north of London. But I agree with you he's quite a coup, with the front line Brighton already have at their disposal, if he scores 7 to 10 goals for them over the remainder of the season it could be the difference to winning promotion or not.

Well that would only not be a failure if Brighton get promoted, which I don't think is all that likely. I'm generally surprised by B'mouth letting him go if it's true though, sure he isn't their first choice but it's not like they have depth up front.
