Jacob Murphy

[GOBIAS]

Don't get this one when we're letting Hutchinson go. But have to trust that OG knows what he's doing...

It must be more a long term plan. Trying to get money back from Hutchinson and plugging a temporary gap.

 

[Notcher]

Thanks Andy. Seems a strange one then. Maybe one for if we are chasing a game and need some quality balls in to the box.

Our crossing has been poor for a while now, it's something we've all moaned about for over a season. OG has clearly identified it too and appears to be trying to find a way of resolving it.

 

[Larry Lansbury]

Can see the logic in having an option of an attacker/winger type player who can play wing back, especially if we are chafing the game. Saw some of Chelsea game and Neto plays so high and attacking as one of their wing backs. Don’t think Hutchinson has the physicality to do it.

When Gary Megson was in charge it always felt like we were chafing the game.

If he's who Glasner thinks he needs then I am behind it. This is my philosophy this summer - in Glasner I trust. He tried to get McNeil to palace during his time there, so he has a history of going wingers who seem a bit rubbish on the surface.

 

[Locadoodledoo]

Seems we're entering the panic phase of the transfer window

 

[Chairman Mo]

Rather have Brian Murphy

 

[Dawg]

Dont hate it. Gonna split opinion though this one

 

[redodare]

Kalimuendo to Frankfurt seems back on too
Can see Murphy offering flexibility as a replacement, albeit stop gap.

Most likely I think.

Not sure why this is seen as a panic signing, it’s quite lazy to say so. His name was first mentioned many days or even weeks ago.

 

[Notcher]

He's able to play on both flanks too so it does offer some flexibility.

 

[Bobby The Brain]

Maybe for the right side 10?

I don’t know anymore. Didn’t see the switch of N’Doye and MGW coming at the weekend which was a masterstroke, so if Herr Glasner wants Murphy, get him in.

 

[Notcher]

Murphy was at his best when he played with Isak. There's some similarities with Delap and Isak with their speed and movement into the box.

I do see a number of logical arguments for the move.

 

[Malwood]

Hutchinson loaned out & Jacob bloody Murphy in

Yeah, this would make no sense to me. A load of transfer work to not improve

I don't think Murphy seems rubbish on the surface, he is a good PL players that has proven himself over years now.

Newcastle have spent 3-4 years trying to upgrade him & he would always force his way back in ahead of players others deem better. He has played 40+ games in 3 of the past 4 seasons, he will be an ideal squad player for us & will absolutely push those ahead of him - he could also probably play in 3-4 positions.

 

[Hawkeye1947]

My view is that if OG thinks he will benefit the team then go for him

 

[MetgodsMittens]

Totally behind this one. Fantastic crosser of the ball.

[Eddie Yates]

No it doesn't

 

[Erik]

I really don't see the logic in this one at all but I guess I'm just going to have to lump it.

Unless we spend £30m on him of course!

 

[valspoodle]

We can't buy every player as an automatic first team player. There have to be squad players who fulfil a need that Olly sees might be needed later in matches.

Also we buy older players to fill in whilst we buy the more expensive players we need more in a sensible consolidation of our playing resources and our financial obligations.

 

[andynufc]

I don't think we'll let Murphy go unless we can get another winger in. Been told today that we are very close to signing a player who we see as being able to cover the entire forwardline, but I think that will open the way for Woltemade to go rather than Murphy.

Haven't seen any solid right wing links for us.
