Why do people automatically think he will be back up, our bids for Haller and Bas Dost show he wanted another first choice, no evidence to suggest Murphy won't be.

?

Can't believe people aren't allowed to criticise a proven poor player. Who says he will be third choice anyway, the rotation that Rafa favours suggests he will start a lot of games. Just because we are in the championship doesn't mean we need to accept low quality. How is he a proven poor player? We're in the Championship for a reason, he is a good player in the Championship (that league that we are in) some people need to wake up. He's had one good season, he has been poor everywhere else, he even managed to fail in the SPL. Do you think Jamie Vardy is a proven s**** player? Going by Murphy's record he's been absolutely fine for 3 seasons; if he's still hitting around 1 in 3 then he should be fine here unless we've inexplicably signed him to lead the line for the rest of the season. He progressively moved up leagues, Murphy has failed in all except for one season.

Fresh reports of Palace and Everton wanting him.

What the f*** is this? :lol The daft expectations of some people on here. Btw, what the f*** is this? https://mobile.twitter.com/nemtizz/status/769520085560156161 How is being disappointed with signing Murphy having daft expectations?

Because he has been rubbish throughout his career.

Rather us move on then, has done nothing to warrant a permanent deal.

Villa? Gestede, McCormack and Ayew? I'd rather have our three. Pretty even tbh, they are also trying to get Hernandez. People keep talking about this. Hernandez is starting games & scoring at premiership level, why would he drop back down again? He could get more money doing well in the prem long term even if that was his sole goal. He supposedly wants to join Villa.

We have never needed to buy more than 1 striker, we have always had enough in terms of numbers just the quality. We have swapped the likes of Cisse for Gayle and Doumbia for this guy. People need to get their heads out of theirs arses a bit. What nonsense. I hate this type of attitude. So folk are not allowed to criticise? Anyway, of course we needed to buy more than one striker. The very case being this afternoon. Both Mitro and Gayle injured and, of those two, only one has shown they can score goals at this level. Listen, if he proves doubters wrong, brilliant. But on face value this seems, at best, like a panic buy. Plenty of other options out there that could have provided much better squad depth. It's not a panic buy, Rafa's been talking about an experienced striker for ages It is a bit of a panic buy, if we really wanted him we could have had him a lot earlier. What? Simple really, he clearly isn't the striker we wanted, and so having been turned down by the the others we have gone in for him with less than a week left.

Not sure I agree, we seemingly bid for Bas Dost and Haller, who would have been first choice, obviously Murphy won't be so not sure what the idea is.

Villa?

Who was worse? harewood Had a better record than Murphy.

Well since we have no fit strikers, you could apply that to any striker anywhere.

For people saying he won't play a lot, I think from the rotation system we have used so far, he will play plenty of matches.

This. Is it any different to signing Lovenkrands and Harewood last time? Probably not, however the league is a lot more competitive this year I think.

We don't want just a squad, we want a good squad, not a 33 year old who failed in Scotland and has had one good season.

Not good enough, and the Ipswich fans seem delighted he is going.

Absolutely terrible signing.

Yep, hardly had a kick.

Decent first half, Liverpool deserved to be leading, Mane is class.

He certainly doesn't run the channels, he's basically a target man who has only been prolific for one season. He's also 33 and basically a rubbish player.
