It seems since becoming a dad his life’s changed, I would risk him on another 1 year deal.
To keep him we will need to offer more, others certainly will.It seems since becoming a dad his life’s changed, I would risk him on another 1 year deal.
001 Taxis you meanas many rides with Royal Cars as he likes
With an honorable mention for Sonny Perkins - the thinking man’s choiceIf not for cam, player of the season

Would be very surprised if it was anything less than 2 years, maybe with an option in our favourThat’s a dangerous game. One year with an option which he can trigger through minutes played etc would be my idea.

Blimey, your tone has certainly changed since August when you were berating and lecturing anyone who might dare hope Murphy would come good - I seem to remember Werthers getting a dressing down for exactly that.You'd like to think that a young man with (presumably, after multiple years of being very well paid) enough money in his pocket - might actually prefer to stay where he appears to be enjoying his football for the first time in years, regardless of any other offers.
If it's true that getting his off-field life settled has been the only real factor in determining his performance (and, more importantly his mental health and quality of life) - then you literally can't put a price on that.
Josh Murphy genuinely seems to be enjoying his football (and judging by his reaction to others) his team-mates/surroundings also.
I simply can't imagine ripping that all up and starting again for a few quid more elsewhere...
Yeah I got a bollocking just for saying I wanted to see Murphy get a run of games as I’d hardly seen him and wanted to form an opinion. But I dont like people dragging up old posts to prove they were right, everyone is just saying it as they see it at the time and often they’re proved to be wrong, it doesn’t matter. (Obvs I was right in this case however!).Blimey, your tone has certainly changed since August when you were berating and lecturing anyone who might dare hope Murphy would come good - I seem to remember Werthers getting a dressing down for exactly that.
Like everyone else, I was severely underwhelmed by Murphy’s first year (17 months?) and wouldn’t have been in the least disappointed if he’d been off-loaded. But as long as he was our player I continued to hope/dream he might come good. I certainly wasn’t the only one. I think you said that ‘no sane’ person could expect anything from him and something to the effect of ‘none so blind as those will not see’.
For some reason this has stuck in my mind. Just shows we’re not all quite the experts we think we are, eh?
I’m absolutely not saying ‘look at me I’m right’, my defence of Murphy was less than minimal. It’s just the notion of actually berating people for even hoping he might come good. As it happens, I’m as surprised and delighted as the next man as to what has unfolded.Yeah I got a bollocking just for saying I wanted to see Murphy get a run of games as I’d hardly seen him and wanted to form an opinion.
