NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Guybrush]

Murphy is arguably the best crosser of the ball we have, so that's got to be a positive for the juice man

I just don’t know how we’re in 2024, 3 years after the takeover and talking about (almost 30 year old) Jacob Murphy starting the first few games of the season on the right of a front 3. I don’t know if you can put it down to a lack of boldness, planning, ambition or whatever but in context of the clubs we’re trying to finish above its amateur hour. Same with Wilson still being 2nd choice striker. 

Because when the other option is someone who can't cross or assist.. then Murphy's positive contributions make him appear more valuable than he ever should be.

 

However as a backup to an improved rw signing.. I would be more than happy to keep him as a sub / reserve

The teams above has have had years of extra investment to underpin everything. And they didn't have the regulations in place that exist now to hold them back.

I don't think this will be the case come the end of the transfer window, but you have to admit that Murphy's made himself useful. 

Sure. Without him we’d be playing Almiron, which raises even more questions. Murphy has been a model pro and has contributed, but he absolutely shouldn’t be starting.

Only gripe I have against The Juice is him being a bit Full Kit Wanker getting on that plane. 

Socks upto his knees ffs. I know he's knocking on but thrombosis shouldn't be a fear 😂

I genuinely think Howe prefers Almiron and Murphy to stay because they are willing to run like hell. Natural ability is not top priority.

 

So unless we could find someone who has similar work rate with more gifted ability, very likely we will start Almiron for the coming season again.
