Yeah, but was he the guy who wasn’t initially named and has he been here for a while e.g. end of last year?
If so, what’s he going to bring differently to the table now?
You need to read my question to Barry’s comments in context. For example, if you only had one place left to fill (squad/budget wise) which one would you choose, Murphy or Dale?
Just for the record, on his day/moments in games I’d say that Murphy edges it for me based upon pace/technique etc...
It’s without doubt in my mind that Robinson was desperate for Murphy & Wildschut to become available as he almost saw them as his potential saviour in an awful 2022/23 season, and would have played them at a drop of a hat if available. Whereas, his treatment and comments about Jones/Smyth etc...
Did they not play him or was Murphy making himself unavailable? When I spoke to Robinson at the fans forum in December 2022, he couldn’t wait for Murphy to be available. He said that Murphy and Wildschut (god remember him!) would rip this league apart when they were fit. Also, Robinson had to...
Personally I would take a fit Edwards over Murphy, but definitely take Murphy over Browne, then that might change again if Browne rips up the form book between now and the end of the season and surpasses Murphy!!
Okay, let we ask you in another way. If you had to choose between giving Murphy another contract or signing another player like Dale what would you choose?
No, just suggesting there might be others out there like Dale who would be a cheaper option, more reliable, more consistent, so arguably a better return on investment all round, but Murphy’s recent form puts a question mark there.
