Show Me The Money! Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 4 hours ago, Merrick's Marvels said: 50p he plays more games for us than any of the youngsters picked "just to sit on the bench to cover our embarrassment" in the last 12 months or so. Not another Scott obvs. But brings similar attributes we desperately lack and which are desperately required if this Manningball thing is to succeed. Our midfield at the moment is the diametric opposite of what a coach like Manning requires. This lad addresses that deficit i would say. In time. How much time? Well, betcha he'll play before season's end, seeing as we're going nowhere - another 50p on it. We're the last of the big spenders! You be careful now. Throwing all these 50p’s around like confetti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We’re still looking at other attacking midfielders to bring in this month. Murphy was always going to get done regardless of what happened this month.

'One's for the future' also included Vyner, Bell, Conway, Tanner and Pring in our current team and also Scott & Semenyo. Need I go on? But if signing one of Ireland's leading emerging young talents who is likely to be be knocking on the first team door before very long makes you sick to death then at least it's a consistent narrative. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Bournemouth go- Alex has played in 6 out of 19 Prem matches due to ongoing injury issues whilst Semenyo is in and out playing 28 matches since he left BCFC scoring 4 goals at a combined cost of £30 million so I'm not sure if if they'll be reaching for their chequebook any time soon.

Agreed but would like to know who is out there doing the scouting as we dont have the best of records do we. Hopefully not our CEO in waiting as he needs to brush up on "office skills" for a top table job. Like all across the club our network of scouts has needed a revamp so hope that is happening. Fingers crossed with Mr Murphy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after that handful of appearances for Bournemouth, Danny Murphy has been singing Alex's praises on MOTD and The Athletic are already calling him Bournemouth's most naturally talented player. So I think they'll be qute happy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
