billyblack Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Would be decent signings if we get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agree, I can also see Reach dropping into the midfield 3 on occasions, particularly if we want to accommodate Murphy and Harris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Them 2 and hector plus the signing already made would be a good summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 These two plus Hector and I'll be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fee ends up being the £3.5 - 4m reported rather than £5m I think it's still a good deal. Not if it means we still end up in an umbongo next year?

owlZfan84 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If we can get these 2 on board and Hector, along with the earlier additions, I'd say it'd been our best summer (transfer wise) for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a new left back would be nice too Feeling aroused just at the thought!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we stand we're 3 first team players down on last year, no other significant business in terns of paying fees and £9m in from the Steve's and Joao to add into the FFP mix. Plus Rhodes £4m a year liability likely to be removed from the budget this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thought we’d lose out on Murphy due to the manager situation. Clubs and players usually like to know who is in charge. Think we will have done really well to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommycockles Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 27 minutes ago, StudentOwl said: News piece released 22 hours ago confirming he's leaving QPR on a free... but to a "mystery Championship club". I guess that's us then https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/luongo-seals-mystery-deal-to-beat-transfer-deadline That story doesn't say free!!!, it says 'undisclosed fee' as well as 'With just a year to run on his contract, the sale of Luongo - signed as part of a $7 million package deal from Swindon in 2015 - isn’t expected to net QPR anything more than $6 million'. Can't see why they'd ship him out for nothing?, makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyowl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 33 minutes ago, MarkS43Owl said: Luongo is a very good player, but similar to Hutch and in a way Pelupessy. Certainly an upgrade on the latter. he's nothing like Hutch mate, he's an attacking midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinly believe we have room to spend if we choose to, but for once being smart and frugal with our recruitmrmt. Don't have a problem with this at all. Also, unlikely to be £5m. Reports we're negotiating at a level around £3.5-4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 This would be really good. 2 players of good age, experience and ability that woupd improve the squad. Add in Hector and I'll be getting a bit excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 17 minutes ago, Matt_1 said: Murphy could be part of some kind of deal with Newcastle? Maybe Bruce wants to do Bullen a favour? Doubt it. The only favour he will do is for himself. Maybe he just wants rid to save a few £ and if letting us have a player saves all his dirty washing being made public then he wins all round. I'm all for believing the best of people but once they prove to be a snake you have to expect them to be a snake in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Be very happy with Murphy but would Newcastle really do us any favours? Guess we would have to drop the case against them etc. Be great business to get them both in. Edited August 7, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I’d heard we’d been in touch with Newcastle but not sure how it went. Thought we’d be after the other Murphy at West Brom Edited August 7, 2019 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
