The Night-Owl 4,665 Posted August 7 If true, that would be decent business. Would Murphy be on loan? Need to utilise the loan market. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkS43Owl 277 Posted August 7 Luongo is a very good player, but similar to Hutch and in a way Pelupessy. Certainly an upgrade on the latter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelowl 11,885 Posted August 7 Newcastle ? IF true is this some barter /compo deal ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
striker 3,505 Posted August 7 Two areas of weakness in our team where we need strength in depth. Luongo fits the profile of free transfer signing, 26, with experience and minimal risk. Surprised we would do business with Newcastle, but Murphy would be a good signing. I do like our business this summer, we've done well in the free transfer market, while at last bringing in transfer fees for outgoing players. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buxtongent 2,279 Posted August 7 Anyone realise that, if we sign all the players we have been 'looking to sign', we shall finish with a squad of 50+ 2 1 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StudentOwl 11,459 Posted August 7 News piece released 22 hours ago confirming he's leaving QPR on a free... but to a "mystery Championship club".

Agree with that which is why i'm concerned about paying millions we haven't got for Hector. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see your point, but I think Hector is the exception. If the fee ends up being the £3.5 - 4m reported rather than £5m I think it's still a good deal. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
