Davefevs Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 FWIW I’m not a great lover of the highlight reel videos, because they only show you the flashy / good bits. So if I can’t watch full 90s I tend to watch an unfiltered set of clips, so you get to see other stuff, the warts n all stuff, the out of possession stuff My view of Murphy, notwithstanding the clips that @Port Said Red put up is that he looks smart, he looks like he understands the game, scans for danger, tracks his man. He reminds me a bit of Liam Walsh (don’t laugh!) in some respects, although I see the abvious Scott comparisons in terms of dribbling. Think he will need time to get the required level of fitness. Reckon compo will be in region of €200k. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like one that has the tools but needs help putting everything together! As someone who thinks that Ireland should be a pond for us to fish, this lad seems to highly rated. Heres a good interview: for info not only is St Pat’s Curtis Fleming’s old team (and Paul McGrath), but Murphy came from Belvedere Juniors, which was also Fleming’s junior team. From what I understand, Tins likes this lad a lot. A few years back, City had Chris Forrester on trial, who currently plays with Murphy, who went to play 100+ games for Peterborough. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if they were a free agent at the time of prior transfer window as well AFAIK - or you’d just get Jon Stark, football mercenary, moving from club to club as contracts expired Edited December 30, 2023 by Silvio Dante Added in Jon Stark! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He joined St Pats from Belvedere on 1st Jan 2020, so taking a simple calculation (because there is some wording around seasons in the FIFA rules) that’s 4 years at €60k (€240k) + 2 years (possibly 3) at €10k (€20k), making €260k total. The FiFA calculator won’t allow me to put in 1.1.24 (assuming he were to transfer tomorrow). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty criminal he’s not starting against spurs as well after that performance. I thought there would be a much larger bedding in period but he seems to have taken to the prem like a fish to water.

Absolute quality player who in some ways was likely to be better with better players.

Always knew he had it in him, but for him to look the exact same playing against premier league midfielders to championship ones almost straight away was surprising! His second injury was really poor timing I feel, if he didn’t have that period out and played the way he has I would be pretty certain he’d make a top 6 move (or any club with European football) in the summer and would be an outside shout for the euros!

bcfc01 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Scored today against Spurs and another disallowed by VAR. As for Murphy - can't wait to see him in a City shirt, he's the next A..........no, I won't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Was wishful thinking on my part but a part of me thought, one more year here alongside Conway in particular but others such as I assume Bell similar timeframe, Benarous if not for the injuries, really hone and perfect his craft ie adding 5-10 goals perhaps and then go with everyone's well wishes unless we win the playoffs obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
