Completely agree with the second paragraph. But it has to be said, this is the sort of injury that at least 50% never come fully back from. If, and it's a big if, someone -- probably a top Championship team -- offered us good money for Glenn I have to say that I would take it. But otherwise I would proceed as you suggest!

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Murray deserves his chance. He is slowly coming back to fitness and the period he enters games is when our wingers are tiring so we get less into the box for him.

I also do think that the injury came at the worst time in his career, he is no spring chicken and was never the quickest across the ground. An injury like that will generally effect your speed a bit too. Unless you are very technically gifted to make up for the lack of pace, it is always going to be a big ask to make the step up and I am not sure that Murray will now be able to. I hope he proves me wrong and I guess time will tell.

I had the same injury and it's taken me a year and a half to get back to normal running, I obviously didn't have the facilities that he has but you're right most players don't recover to even near his standard so he's done well. One more season and lot more starts and I think he'll be back to somewhere near his best.

AJ all over again.

However , Van Nistelrooy made a good fist of a recovery from a similar injury for Manyoo.

Lets be patient, and in the meantime the insurers can pick up the tab.

I disengage, I turn the page.

Would be great to see him get 90 minutes in the next two games. Very difficult coming off the bench for 15-20 minutes and trying to make an impact.
Short memories on here and we really need to give Glenn the chance to get back to 100% fitness and play a few games before we judge him. I personally have no doubts he can cut the mustard in the Premier League. Remember many having doubts about him when he first joined. Once he settled he became a goal scoring machine. He just needs to settle in again. Nothing to lose by keeping him. We have plenty of other players in the squad that will not get a look in so time to release them before the likes of Murray.

I think people are being a bit quick to judge based on a few appearances as a sub. He has come back from a very serious injury and it will take time and a full pre-season to get him back to his best.

I was a bit confused why he was played in the Chamakh role on Sunday after he came on. I don't think that is his best position but, after this season, TP could play him as goalkeeper and I wouldn't argue with the selection
