Wellarmy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I know Murphy hasn't exactly hit the heights that we've expected of him but thats the last thing we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I hope it's true. But strongly doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Seagull Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I hope it's true. But strongly doubt it. Am I missing something? I thought Murphy was the next big thing off the Motherwell production line? Always seems to be a good player when I watch the Scottish youngsters.

airfinz Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I hope it's true. But strongly doubt it. Why would you hope it's true? I reckon Murphy has the potential to be our next million+ player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellarmy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 To lose another striker at this stage would be a massive loss. Plus Gannons wanting to give youth a chance so I don't think he'd sell Murphy in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 The youth at the club must have been one of the things spoken about in any interview between the manager and chairman. Surely Gannon must bring in players to compliment them and selling is not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm so certain that this won't happen, I'll offer to buy a new hat to eat if it does. And anyone who's seen the size of my dome will confirm that would be a hearty meal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazamfc Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I hope it's true. But strongly doubt it. murphy wan a the best youth players we've got if no the best wid be a massive lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 As I've said earlier, I seriously doubt this will ever come to pass. But let's not say that Murphy would be a massive loss. A massive loss is a key player leaving (we should know, seen enough recently). This would be a surprising decision to sell a promising youngster (though not as surprising as Celtic's decision to buy him). Like Frazzle, I wouldn't be crushed if he left...

Lobey_Dosser Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Considering Mowbray has an eye for youth with signings such as Dorrans at WBA, it wouldn't completely surprise me. He also bought Fortune on the back of his performance for Nanct at FP and IIRC, Murphy wa sour only shining light that night. More than likely to be a rumour but it is plausible. Massive season beckons for Murphy, his performance the other night was a slight cause for concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastStandWellFan Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Being honest, right now the only way in which Murphy could be considered a loss would be in relation to the number of players we have. Despite the hype, he has yet to make any telling contribution to our side. I think he is far too lightweight for an SPL striker. I agree with the others on this thread who don't think it is likely to happen but if it did he'd be no loss. Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also make an argument that Chris McCart might have given them a nod in his direction if you wanted to give reasons why it could happen. But, like I say, implausible...

Frazzie Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 While I don't think Murphy is hopeless (far from it), I'd be quite happy if Celtic came in with a cash offer for him right now. He is nowhere near the finished article - too lightweight, drifts in and out of games and very often makes the wrong decisions when he has the ball. If we got more cash in to help bolster the squad with more experienced players at the expense of Murphy, I would be happy with that. Thursday showed us, amongst other things, that no matter how good your youngsters are, you can't play them all at once. Fitzpatrick and Darren Smith should both have played as, even if they are not as technically good as the young lads, they know what they're doing and can handle the 'big' match atmosphere.

I'm glad we didn't sell him on so early in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
