Don't think he's injured just behind in fitness required for 1st team 

He had a scan last week Monk said they were delighted progress  that was shown on scan. 

 

I do notthink you have a scan if you are not injured.

If Murphy is off the table how about having another look at Rolando Aaron’s?

 

Should be available for about 500k. Did ok last time with us (admittedly not as good as Murphy did) and still only 25/26. 
 

Could be useful on the left wing being naturally left footed and quite pacey. 
 

Wouldn’t be the worst alternative given limited ability to spend and current status in the league. 


nowhere near good enough imo.

We shouldn't be in this position nearly 3 weeks into the season with just one centre forward at the club , if the season had started poorly then there would have been a proper shi.tstorm on here but so far we've got away with it , only a matter of time before we get caught out and the lack of goals becomes apparent.

 

Do you think they've just sat with their feet up and done nowt?

 

The world is dealing with a pandemic and we're hearing from every angle that all sorts of business is upside down, taking it's time, costs of things are up and down. Same applies to football.

 

Couple that with the fact that it looks like DC is slowly learning from his mistakes and not just throwing cash at it and it's not hard to see why transfers are taking a bit of time.

 

They can take until the last day for all I care, as long as the people who come through the door are the right ones then that's all that matters.

Monk stated at begining of week he was 7-10 days from joining in training.

 not kicking a ball 

Probably gentle stretching or jogging but certainly not kicking a ball. My guess of November is it stated he probably needs a couple of U/23 games before being under consideration for first team. Osaze started training with first team last week and played 45 mins for u/23 this week. He will probably need a couple more games before back in contention. Dunkley has been out longer than him and has he is not yet kicking a ball November was a guess. Hope I am wrong but certainly will not be imminent.

I saw him in a video kicking a ball 

Also they do scans to check on the progress of injuries

Charley Musonda- Chelsea 

Nathan Holland- West Ham

Andre Green- Villa

 

If we can't get Murphy then surely enquire about these sort of players, loan obviously as we are skint.

 

Getting these players, especially Musonda, won't be a cheap deal, even on a loan basis.

 

Loans from Premier League clubs these days, often cost more than buying a player permanently from other leagues. There's often significant loan fees involved, and wages in PL Under 23's (especially at the top six clubs) often exceed the average wage for most Championship sides. 

 

For example, the loan of Izzy Brown will be our most expensive outlay so far this summer... by some distance.

 

So if we're skint (we're not, we just have to be very careful how we spend our money), many loan deals for top U23 players will be out of our reach.

Fitted in well the last time and I genuinely think we would’ve gone up that season under Bruce had he and Lazaar had stayed fit and available?

He's a left winger isn't he? Not sure he'd fit in as a wing back if we're sticking with 3-5-2.
