I have taken a lot of stick on here in the past especially from the pro Murray supporters for suggesting Glenn is just not up to this level.

So without being ultra stubborn do you still feel the same about him ?

This isn't a ' I told you so ' thread but the sarcy comments, abuse and general superiority in the tone of your definite comments regarding the 30 goal saviour haven't really been justified in reality wouldn't you agree ?

I want any player who wears the shirt to do well and they will always get my full support as long as they give 100% and FFS does and has been a legend for us with circumstances working for him ( great service from 2 great wide men in a lower level playing against lesser quality) and no doubt Glenn has attributes that are valuable, but really for us in the EPL.

I get the feeling that 99.2% of us agree that we need a front man signed this summer and as I know Glenn doesn't cover at left back or right midfield or keeper or even a wide forward so let me ask you this lets say we did sign this new front man and for argument sake he is called 'thommo' who would you have as thommo's back up ? Jerome ? Chamakh ? Or Glenn ? Bear in mind we have punch,bolasie,gayle as wide/ general front cover ie can play up top too if needed.

I am just trying to put logic to my argument bad stand back and look at the bigger picture and would respect the same back in any answers especially from the hard core Pro Murray brigade.

So if you do see a place for Glenn how would he fit into your team ( bear in mind we now have thommo and others as mentioned.

( breath thommo breath.)

DJ John Peel once said: "Supporting Palace has a certain cult value, like pretending that some Peruvian rock band is the best in the world."

Glenn has only just come back from injury, which is why he has been coming on as sub for the last 15mins or so. What are you expecting?
He scored what? 30 goals last season.
I have no idea when his contract ends, but I hope he will be with us next season.
He is a lot better than C Jerome.

EDIT... I also think he did very well yesterday, he had at least two clear shots at goal if only his team mates had passed to him. Instead of trying at impossible angles themselves. Which is something Palace need to work on. Space and a sense of who is where.

I don't think Chamakh is included in this list, as he has been playing behind the striker, and should probably stay there. Jerome's currently on loan and to sign him I reckon we'd have to pay 3 or 4 million. Despite his unbelievable work rate, I don't think he's worth that, and I can't see him being here next season. That leaves us with 'thommo', Murray and Gayle as the strikers.

He may not have scored many goals, but he's not started many games either. I think with a pre season under his belt, and a run in the side, he might start to score some goals. But I do agree we definitely need a new striker.

This little phrase is used to often...he played well last season,got 30 goals,thats his job then unfortunatly got that dreadful injury.

Not a legend in my eyes...YET.

Actually I didnt think he was that great yesterday,certainly not as good as Jerome when he went off.If I were a defender I would have been pleased to see the back of Jerome.

FFS can make it in the Prem...just not their yet.

What Gyro said. I would understand your frustration "if" he had a full match. He isn't up to scratch at the moment, but Pulis must have some belief in his ability if he is putting him on the pitch at all, nevermind the fact that he had a bad injury and hopefully he will be back next season in better form. Jerome and Bolasie although they give 100% most of the time, their aim is depressing.

Yes. Jury is out at prem level for sure, but give the guy a chance ! I'll reserve judgement to seeing a fully fit FFS next season

You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue
Yours sincerely
