Dokko Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Murphy was signed as a back-up. If back-ups aren't needed that's a good thing. Not having that back-up would have been bad. And no point keeping Armstrong around without football for his development. Rather a proven striker coming towards the end of his career, who is - seemingly - happy to be a reserve. Rather have spend the relatively ridiculous fee on a young striker, there were free options in his mould we could have got who would have served us better. Its a shite signing, we've bought key players for not much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Newcastle fans still perplexed by the idea of having a squad. Someone brought Obertan up before, maybe it was to suggest we should have kept him to have a bigger squad? Makes sense now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Probably an unpopular opinion but i'd rather see Murphy start over Perez if Gayle & Mitro were unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ah aye so he did. I knew he'd played against Cheltenham (?) too, I was exaggerating for comic effect more than anything. Seems a million miles from getting a league start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a million miles from getting a league start. I was tempted to delete the post as I knew what you meant, I doubt he's ever going to get a look in in the league unless Gayle and Mitrovic get injured/sold/out of form.

sbnufc Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Delph would probably be amazing in the Championship. Something like a ½ season loan (with option to buy) until the summer so he can get playing time would be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Getting Delph in early January would be one of the best transfers we've done in a long time, given the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Delph and Shelvey would be great together. Big fan of Hayden, but if we can get Delph then it is a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 He's not a mercenary at all. He left a mid table Championship club to play Premier League football, followed by leaving one of the worst Premier League sides in the history of the competition (where he'd been for 5-6 years) to join a club where he'd have the opportunity to play Champions League football. It's called progression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
