Beholder 9,611 Posted August 7, 2019 Sounds legit. These positions fit the remit and they sound like reasonable targets for us. Both good cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanharper 29,617 Posted August 7, 2019 Murphy wouldn't be cheap, even if it's a loan he'll be on big money - went to Newcastle for £10m+ Also seen that Fulham, Huddersfield and Frank Lampard's Derby, Philip Cocu's Derby, Wayne Rooney's Derby are after him. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StudentOwl 15,173 Posted August 7, 2019 6 minutes ago, waynecoyne14 said: luongo is a technical attacking player-nothing like hutch He became more defensive after his transfer to QPR. He's more like Hutch than I think you think he is. Probably a hybrid between Hutch and Lee. Bonus is, he's ideal for a midfield 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellis Rimmer 3,908 Posted August 7, 2019 Just had a skim read of a QPR forum the general consensus is that on his day he's one of the best players in the division but is inconsistent and often struggles to impose himself on a game. Lots of criticism of Les Ferdinand allowing his contract to run down so he's available cheap but then pointing out there hasn't been much interest in him anyway.

beswetherick 2,384 Posted August 7, 2019 Luongo would be a great signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castleford Owl 2,246 Posted August 7, 2019 Hopefully this is true. These two plus Hector, and maybe a final loan striker with pace and I think we would actually have a squad to mount a serious challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alanharper 29,617 Posted August 7, 2019 Murphy signed for Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee on 19 July 2017. He cited Newcastle United as his boyhood team and stated that it was his dream to represent the club. Murphy's parents were born in the local area and he has family members from Newcastle's neighbouring town Gateshead Well this sounds familiar... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 4,388 Posted August 7, 2019 Does the interest in Murphy mean we might be expecting a bid for Reach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deano 1,111 Posted August 7, 2019 Apparently DC's son has started to follow Luongo on twitter, looks like that's happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt_1 3,452 Posted August 7, 2019 Murphy could be part of some kind of deal with Newcastle? Maybe Bruce wants to do Bullen a favour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolandWaddle 245 Posted August 7, 2019 Could a possible Murphy deal be used by Newcastle to appease DC and brush the bruce issue under the carpet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Night-Owl 5,329 Posted August 7, 2019 Heard of Mike before from somewhere. Not a Sun reader, has he done some work with Sky or talksport too? Sounds a legit name. Hopefully those potential signings are true too. Murphy and Harris would be dynamic pacy attacking wing options and Luongo would give us some much needed bite and competition for the midfield 3.

0114 2,952 Posted August 7, 2019 They do look good deals if we can get them done. Luongo moved to QPR for around £3.5m a few years ago and Murphy £10m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owls-Fan 2,759 Posted August 7, 2019 These two plus a PL striker on loan and we would have a decent starting eleven. Maybe a new left back would be nice too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
