The College Dropout Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 17 minutes ago, Fezzle said: Hes been here 6 years so his book value will be zero by now, also a wage increase wont help FFP at all IMO I agree with the poster who said yes to a wage bump. No extension. He'll be 32ish when his current deal is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticks homegrown box, versitile, good cover, starting in cup competitions, etc. Was here when it was shit, so knows the good/bad times at the club. Cheaper than spending money on bringing in someone who might upset the atmosphere. and unlike some of the other 30 something’s in our team he actually has bags of pace and strength.

Cheaper than spending money on bringing in someone who might upset the atmosphere. You get no arguments from me on those points, but his contract isn't up until another 4 years as it stands. My main point was I don't see the reason why we would extend that duration to 5. He'll be 34 when the new contract is up. Why would the club want to carry those improved wages for another season when we (hopefully) are in a position where he will be nowehere near even being on the bench? By that time you'd hope we can also start harvesting the fruits of an improve youth setup as well so we aren't in danger of not meeting any kind of quotas for competitions.

OCK Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I guess it dilutes the cost of the wages across 5 years rather than 4, which might seem small but number crunchers will have probably thought it worthwhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Would rather we sort out new deals for Schar and Lascelles first before extending someone with 4 years left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Didn't Murphy dislocate his shoulder a few years ago and came back and done it again very quickly? I'm glad he's had surgery this time because it's obviously a weak issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 We wouldn't sell Murph would we? https://www.footballfancast.com/newcastle-news-may-lose-ultimate-professional-in-january-transfer-injury-crisis/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lish007 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I hope not. He's actually now one of my fave players, he's a toon player, he's versatile and he's actually been banging this year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Absolutely zero chance whatsoever. He’s at his boyhood club, living his dreams, happy being a bit player player/meme legend. He’s not jumping ship to tinpoint clubs like that. With our injury crisis as well there’s not a chance we’d even pick up the phone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 We would be left with just 1 senior right winger in the squad, unless we get someone else. I don't see it happening in january. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseman Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Can only see us selling him if we’ve got a big upgrade coming in for RW, otherwise I think Murphy will try to stay with us until he retires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 All gone a bit quiet on him. Think his timescales were mid to late January for a return when he had his op. Maybe one of the ones Howe was referring to for being back after the winter break? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
