Jacob "The Juice" Murphy

Bit cheeky working two jobs. Does Yasir know about this?

[James]

When are people going to wake up to the fact that much like Joelinton is now an £80m player, Murphy is a £30m player.

 

Frustratingly he is probably the FFP solution.

Or at least part of the FFP solution.

There is no club in the world that would ever pay £80m for Joelinton. And I doubt there’s any club who would pay £30m for Murphy.

 

ASMs fee is a useful benchmark as ASM had a far better reputation and track record than Murphy does now. Murphy would go for 10-15m. 
 

I like the guy, he’s a great character and does his job to the best of his ability but he’s not a top

player and I doubt any premier league team would want him as a starter - so that means Championship or a squad player and you’d not see anything close to £30m for that

True.

 

if we do have to sell to further upgrade our squad we do now have assets.

 

Murphy - £30m

Almiron - £20m

Willock - £50m

Wilson - £15m

Targett - £10m

Trippier - £10m

£130m of fees we can obtain fairly straightforwardly. Selling Pope is also an option depending on GK plans.

 

Then we probably get Hall, Tosin and Kelly quickly. They replace Targett and fill some other gaps in our current squad.

 

one or two strikers needed to be second fiddle to Isak. Ideally one of these can play RW

 

RW would be the marquee signing. Minteh can have a back up role depending on how we replace Wilson. Otherwise we can either loan or sell him too.

 

Willock is not directly replaced as we have a lot of CMs.

We would need to make a call between Krafth and a new signing for Right Back to cover Tino.

Murphy is twice the player ASM ever was

30m for Murphy

Nobody is paying anywhere near those fees for Willock, Murphy or Targett

[Away Toon]

Nobody is paying 50m for the invisible man Willock.

[duo]

People are harsh on Murphy but over the last couple of seasons he's held his own.  Yes he's had some bad games but who hasn't - certainly been more good than bad.

I was wondering if we could sign him and have them play 45 minutes each at full intensity

You reckon Joelinton is a 40m player?

£55-60m is fair price for him.

Yep.  I think he’s worth what we paid.  We didn’t get what we paid for.  
 

This doesn’t mean I think he’s rubbish or anything - I just don’t see anyone paying much more than that

[toonfanman]

If we’re talking about FFP then it’s how much another club is actually willing to pay for our players. I doubt we would get an offer of much more than £40m + add one for Joelinton. I don’t think he’s a player that suits teams with more standard setup/formations.

Fair enough, I wouldn't part with him for less than 60. Perhaps noone would pay that but that's fine coz he's ours.
