Beholder 8,613 Posted August 7 Sounds legit. These positions fit the remit and they sound like reasonable targets for us. Both good cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanharper 25,106 Posted August 7 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 11,703 Posted August 7 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellis Rimmer 1,973 Posted August 7 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 1,263 Posted August 7 Luongo would be a great signing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castleford Owl 1,843 Posted August 7 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 25,106 Posted August 7 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
Great Big Galaa 2,945 Posted August 7 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 733 Posted August 7 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 3,146 Posted August 7 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 Could a possible Murphy deal be used by Newcastle to appease DC and brush the bruce issue under the carpet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Night-Owl 4,665 Posted August 7 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1993swfc 1,579 Posted August 7 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 1,336 Posted August 7 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
