This figure is now well over £50m considering we have signed Alexander Sorloth who also cannot score in the Premiere League.

I hope Alex does well, but he's hardly demanding a starting place with his performances and must have cost £9m-£12m.

We also flirted with Frazier Campbell, I think he cost about £1m, plus wages, but I accept this is small beer in the current market.

Imagine if CPFC had bid, say £5m for Murray this close season (somebody who continues to score at this level).

People on here would have lost their s***!

I knew as soon as we lost today someone would bring up Glenn Murray. Oh I wish we could do that with all the players we have let go and they have done better at other clubs. It is now boardering on boredom with these Murray posts. So we have spent to record over 50m plus replacing Murray as some have suggested mmmmmm, let’s put this in a nutshell. Parish said himself it was a mistake to let Glenn go. So a mistake has been made and we all would rather have Murray than Benteke.Sorlorth is as effective as a subbuteo player without a base so we are all crying that Murray is score for the weeds and we have Benteke who couldn’t hit a barn door with a tractor.

Living in New Zealand as I do, I cannot get to watch live games, but what I would like to offer to those that get along to Selhurst Park is to SUPPORT the management, coaching team and those selected to 'wear the shirt'.

There is far too much negativity and cynicism expressed in these threads. Sure it is frustrating when our lead striker has lost confidence-BUT he is not going to improve his self-belief and confidence if we keep kicking him! Give Roy some respect and please realise that Roy will know what's best for Christian. He has fallen off his horse and Roy is trying to re-build his confidence. The least we can do is to get behind the manager, chairman and coach. In those 3 we undoubtedly have a trio to match any side in the PL.

Agree, I was unhappy when Murray went, poor decison by club and manager. Parish made it sound like he was doing old Glen a favour letting him see out his twilight years at a level he cound manage.

The Murray debacle needs to be brought out every now again so we don't forget and make the same mistake again

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Was it not Murray who wanted a move away because of the competition for the striker role?

Too much nostalgia with past players.
They have left for pastures new whether one or two should have been retained ( Murray, Gayle,McCarthy etc ) has no relevance as they are history!!
