Guest gizowl Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Think Dion Anderson now becomes more of a priority we've got to plan without Murphy as the season will be upon us by then if Newcastle do let him out it will be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Looks like if we get him it'll be deadline day from what bruce was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 As has been said think this one will go down to the wire. Very good player that I hope we get but we need a back up incase we don’t get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only an absolute Rolls Royce like Michael Hector would have been worth throwing a pile of money at like that anymore. There are other Jacob Murphy standard players available on loan. Disagree, £3m would be nothing really, particularly over the length of his contract and therein lies the biggest problem, wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only an absolute Rolls Royce like Michael Hector would have been worth throwing a pile of money at like that anymore. There are other Jacob Murphy standard players available on loan. Probably right, though I think he is worth £3m, it’s about how we use our limited resources. If we could spend, and we were challenging at the top, he’d be a winger ( not a wing back) I’d be happy to have on board. Any cash we have to spend, should be used wisely, where we can prize a real talent, or a promising youngster. That’s also why I’m so against paying a fee for Windass, the same applies there, he isn’t that special a talent, and we could definitely get similar for free Edited August 23, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Would rather plan without him if it’s going to go to wire , we could still sign leko Sanderson and Murphy to be honest , all 3 different but extremely unlikely to happen . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nothing compared to 5mil for reach ffs. I'd happily sell reach on for 2 mill and use it for murphy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) The perils of loan players eh. We’ve seen this movie before. Take a player on loan, get them fit and in form then struggle to bring them back. Marshall, Vernancio and Hector being 3 examples. I’d like Murphy back but it seems like it may go the way of previous loans. A loan to buy would be good if we can pull it off?

marshy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 We've had our fingers burned with deadline day deals andleaving it until the last minute. For me, I'd plan for life without him we simply haveto. Get the lads onboard asap, training with each other for as long as possible. If we get him at the last minute then it's a bonus, but if not we at least have our alternatives in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 This illustrates the ridiculous amount of money that is swirling around in the Premiership. Paying eight million quid to Norwich for someone who did little more than show a bit of potential and is then loaned out for most of his contract shows that Newcastle have more money than sense . I’d have him back though... he was coming good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I would like him back if he reproduces his 2020 form.................but is everyone conveniently forgetting how abject he was up to the turn of the year ?.................go back and check the threads / player ratings if you dont believe me. Another loan would be best option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, he’s a promising striker, it would be foolhardy in the extreme to try and convert him into a wing back You seem certain we will continue with wing backs despite it not really working so well for us.

Think you are looking 7 to 8 million fee rather than 3 million. Could be a bit of an auction with plenty of top end championship clubs interesred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
