KaKa Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Finally, Newcastle are planning a dressing-room extension to accommodate Tal Ben Haim, Sami Hyypia, Paris Saint-Germain laughing stock David Rozehnal, casual Marseille full-back Habib Beye, Spurs blast from the past Danny Murphy, and Big Sam's big plans. http://football.guardian.co.uk/rumourmill/index/0,,2101018,00.html I have always had a major regard for Danny Murphy and cannot for the life of me understand why Spurs do not use him. I absolutely love his vision and range of passing. I do think he is a lot more effective in a 4-3-3 as he was at Charlton with Curbs, and so I guess he doesn't really suit Tottenham's setup. This looks very much like an Allardyce signing and I wouldn't be surprised in the least as he would fit well into a 4-3-3 as mentioned. Just turned 30 so Sam will be thinking he could get a lot out of him still. If Barton is our Nolan then I guess Murphy would be our Speed? Murphy and £5 million for Kieron Dyer and everyone goes home happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 no more than lazy journalism in my opinion...or maybe i'm being influenced by the giuly type rumours flying about but this falls in the same category the way i see it is allardyce used to buy players the wrong side of 30 out of necessity rather than desire....why on earth the papers think he'll carry this on at our place is beyind me, he's too clever for that only expanation if he starts out like that is that ashleys told him he's on the bones of his arse until january or something and i just don't see that as feasible murphy was never good enough in any team he's played in - we should be looking at least a level or two above this type of signing, people who say we can't break into the top 4,5,6 next season would be proved right by this type of signing allardyce is surely too smart?

Tisd09 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I would have taken him when we were last linked to him but his stock has fallen alot now, don't think he would improve things. If we could get him in very cheap and on low wages then I wouldn't be that bothered by the move! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Murphy was actually on good form for Charlton before he moved to Spurs. He'd be a decent squad player if they only want £1.5m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
