Guest kingdawson 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. Cos he's always injured? Plus, he's past it. I'd rather have Speed. That and: 1) He's shite 2) Jenas, Zokora, Huddlestone, Tainio and possibly Ghaly >>>>>>>>> Murphy 3) He's shite 4) He's shite and finally..................

Yorkie Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Why do people on here still think Jenas is shit btw? I couldn't stand him here, he was absolutely God awful, and i was loving it when we sold him for £7/8/9m or whatever the hell it was.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You bunch off fools This is a regular Guardian JOKE column actually is's not pal, it's a column where they compile the rumours from other places/papers and put them together in a humourous fashion if you look around the rumour will exist somewhere very different from a joke column The humour starts after the mention of Beye (if you exclude the laughing stock and casual comments that have already caused a stir amongst some, including yourself). There is no mention of Murphy anywhere, he is just part of the joke. if you're telling me you've scoured the world and can find no mention of murphy then i'll defer but as someone who's read that site day in day out since about '99 or whenever i first found it then i'll stick to my guns...

If he comes off the bench or only gets the odd appearance here and there then yeah he does tend to look poor. You only have to look at the performances he put in at Charlton.

Cronky Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Murphy would certainly be a good squad player. Not really strong enough to get you right to the top though. He's not the only player that's got a bit lost at Spurs. I was thinking of Defoe as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Allardyce is planning a 4-4-2 formation for the forthcomming season then Murphy is probably the worst signing you can make. 4-5-1 and you MAY have got yourself a useful player.

I agree and I said this in my very first post. This is the key thing about Murphy I've always thought that in a 4-3-3 system playing as an attacking midfielder he is really productive and a very good player. He can create and score goals in this position. Some of the things he did at Charlton in the 4-3-3 were awesome. In a 4-2-2 without as much freedom he certainly isn't the same player. Murphy is so underrated it's untrue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do i prefer him to Jenas in this position, but I actually prefer him to Lampard!!! I'm a big Barry fan. I can't for the life of me understand who though the should be a left back with the skill set he has. I hope O'neill keeps him in midfield all of next season. Then I will be proved right!

Martin Lol Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I still can't work out if this Murphy to Newcastle thing is a windup or not. First instinct is to say it is, but some of the folks here seem quite keen on the idea. Murphy hasn't been a success at Spurs because he doesn't want to be a squad player, he wants to start. If he's not starting, he's not terribly interested. There has been serious interest for Murphy from Wigan, a bit from Brum and Fulham have generally asked about his availability. That's it. Wigan, Brum and Fulham. If you honestly believe he can offer Newcastle something I must be missing something because I can see very little benefit for him being on your books other than you haven't got great numbers in the squad and numerically you want the squad to be given a boost. Improvement abilitywise, look elsewhere. It's not as though you can't afford it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
