Linked today. Only one year left at Brighton.
NO! Please no.
I hope not.
He is 35 now - 36 in September. He's 16 months older than Sol!
He did OK last season for Brighton - but is clearly coming to the end. Not the way to go.
FFS! Enough we the quick fixes. We need to build.
Have we been linked ? His agent is Unique Sports Management for whom a certain member of the Warnock family works !
Just for discussion, Murray scored 12 in 35 in 17/18, and 13 in 38 in 18/19.

I'm not saying he should be first choice but he does score.
Ricky Lambert v2
Still seems able to find the net, not sure how mobile he is. Although with Murphy, Mendez-Laing and Reid(?) around him, he could find the space to grab quite a few. There are worse signings we could make.
Absolutely. Our luck with strikers has been shocking since the front 3 of the play off final left. We have lots of players with years left in their career, a seasoned veteran up top would be a good addition.
It's a yes from me. He knows where the net is. He knows his limitations and as CCFC99 has said, we would have the speed & movement around. What we don't have is a natural goalscorer, which is what Murray is.
Just for a laugh, Saido Berahino agent is touting him to anyone who'll listen! He's an absolute waste of a talent but might be a perfect candidate for NW to modify with a 4x2 back into a decent player. Stoke have declared that they've sacked him but maybe they haven't!
One goal shy than our 3 top scorers combined. On a short term contract would be great for us.
Glen Murray coped with the Premiership last year and year before :
2017– 19 Brighton & Hove Albion >> 92 games (33 goals )
At worse a great bench man and real goal poacher .
Its a yes from me. Excellent at hold up play would fit our system and for one year is a no brainer if we could convince him to come here - a class up on what Madine is supposed to do. (Unfortunately the Ricky Lambert comparison will be inevitable but as of last season Murray wasn't washed up and permanently injured)
Strikers cost stupid money - look what Grabban and Assombalonga cost and they won't bring what Murray can. Look what the jacks want for McBurnie and he is bang average - £20m!! and Maupay of Brentford - stupid money
If this happens - I get it.
He would be an excellent signing and someone KZ could learn an awful lot from.
And it's a definite no from me - never does a thing against us and would up the average age even further.
Eric Cantona was also excellent. Shall we see if he wants more money than his Kronie ads pay?
I’m not sure that this rumour even has legs (no pun intended).
Surely the wages would render him too expensive when it’s been implied that the club aren’t looking to break the bank.
Personally, I think it would be madness to let Warnock empty the piggy bank for one last shot at promotion, then leave us with a striker who’d need replacing.
Besides which, it’s dangerous to assume that we’re going to get promotion, when last time around we were pegged for relegation, then “surprisingly” went up.
If we'd had him last season we'd still be in the Premier League for 2019/20.
