Any rate Murphy comes from arguably same level Down here Brighton are reported to be interested There are certain characteristics he will need to play Champ or Prem. If he has them he’ll get a club. If he doesn’t he can score 130 goals in a season and he still won’t. Wont comment on Pearce specifically as I haven’t seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any rate Murphy comes from arguably same level Down here Brighton are reported to be interested I see he`s 28 though so that will put a few off I expect. He looks like he`s had two great seasons at Worthing but did he have five years or so out of the game prior to that? The only other stats I can find are him playing for Bognor in 2017/18.

We won’t be signing 28 year olds from the National League South. I thought he would be a 21 year old kid with people saying they give up if we’re not scouting him………… 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any rate Murphy comes from arguably same level Down here Brighton are reported to be interested Don’t really think you can say the Irish top flight is of National League South standard. Sam Curtis has been on the bench for Sheff U in the Prem this season after playing in it last season. Can’t believe any National League South player has ever made that leap in one go.

Numero Uno Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 1 minute ago, harvey54 said: Positively Vardyesque Yep, the odd lad manages it. One in literally thousands. Vardy was 25 when he went pro and had blistering pace. To make the jump you need something that pro clubs want and pro defenders can’t handle. You would think, at 28, the lad Pearce MAY not have it. I played with a long retired Keith Millen once marking some lad who was a very good forward at Southern League level……..never gave the kid a kick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted May 6 Author Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) What lovely responses from folk who have never seen the lad play. Rather like City’s recruitment strategies under BT andJL. I shall now recover from the defeat by gazing out at the grey grey sea here in Sussex Edited May 6 by Ivorguy 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
