He scored 5 goals in a **** league. Calm down![]()
14 games 5 goals is better than 1 in 3. Good championship player but no better than that. There's worse players we could have and probably do have to be honestIs that it? ****e.
Who?14 games 5 goals is better than 1 in 3. Good championship player but no better than that. There's worse players we could have and probably do have to be honest
No but I also don't think 3 of those 4 will be here next season. He's undoubtedly capable at the level we will be playing next season. I don't think we'll buy him mind but I do think there are far worse championship forwards out thereWho?
Would you have Murphy over Defoe? Borini? Khazri? Anichebe?
We need a lot better than a 34 year old average Championship player.

You must admit it looks strange typed out in text Not sure where you get that I "don't" rate Defoe. I Didn't as I thought he was here for a payday (as a lot did) but was happily proved wrong. I rate Murphy at championship level.You're funny Marcus, don't rate defoe but rate Murphy.You must admit it looks strange typed out in text

They'll always be worse players, but, I hope we are setting our sights a little higher.No but I also don't think 3 of those 4 will be here next season.

I just think we need to get experience at that level coupled with those who might step up. Not saying I want Murphy mind, that ship has sailed. But a few of his ilk would do no harm to us on the wholeThey'll always be worse players, but, I hope we are setting our sights a little higher.
I want us buying players that could possibly step up if we get promoted. Murphy couldn't do that.
Bear in mind his appearances included a lot of late subs so not much time on the pitch. His minutes per goal this season is around 200 I think which is bloody good but then I suppose he's been playing in a good team. Of course you would need a better first choice CF but you could do a lot worse than Murphy as a squad player from what I've seen this year - it's a long season.
Well you weren't keen were you? you were very vocal about him around the time of this thread. I got what you meant though, I was just taking away all the reasoning and putting it together in plain text. Just thought it was amusing.
I suppose when you put it like that!!Technically he's better than Mitrovic - better goals to game ratio for definite (Mitrovic has 1 in 6 this season and murphy has 1 in 2.8) in a poor league - for a million quid he'd be a good squad player for us going into 2017/18If he's helped them get promotion, then he's worth the money they paid because it's peanuts, even at that level.
I doubt he'll be much use in this league, but maybe he's as good an option as Mitrovic?
They need another goalscorer no matter what, maybe The Fat Waiter will fancy bringing back Thauvin the midfield goal machine they loaned to Marseille.
Can't disagree with this! He's a good option to haveTechnically he's better than Mitrovic - better goals to game ratio for definite (Mitrovic has 1 in 6 this season and murphy has 1 in 2.8) in a poor league - for a million quid he'd be a good squad player for us going into 2017/18
You can;t say that QWOP - all the mags I work with think he's easily good enough for the PL - even though I pointed out that he misses a large amount of his chances and he will get maybe one or 2 per game in the PL!He was decent for us last season. I'll make no bones of the fact he won't be coming up with us. He isn't a PL striker and we desperately need one. . At present we don't have someone who will bang us the goals in. Gayle certainly won't be good enough!
