3 games to make himself a club legend and lead us in to the second tier

They’re massive games, and I want to get this club promoted, so that’s where my head is at, at the moment.

“I’d love to stay. I think everyone can see I’m very settled here. I love the boys and it’s a great bunch of lads here.

“We’re very close together here, so obviously I want to stay. We just need to get everything over the line.”

I’m assuming from his comments he’d like to stay but does over the line mean he’d only stay if we get promoted?

I thought he came across really well in his Radio Oxford interview after the game. Seems like a genuinely nice, humble guy. Good player too! Has been instrumental in getting us into the playoffs and I think it’s fair to say we couldn’t have done it without him…

I thought it means that it would help but it depends what the offer on the table is, and what other offers come in.

But I thought that moment when Des interrupted him on his video to the fans was hopeful - it showed the genuine warmth between them (and that all parties wanted a video out there where the coach asks the player to stay)

I would think so.
If we go up I reckon he will stay.
If not and he gets a good offer from a Championship side....

At least Des gave him the chance to play

I liked the moment when he said he wasn't going out tonight as he's with the little one.

I can imagine his agent listening to that head in hands!

A good agent will find the best place for their player. Des and Josh could make it to the PL. If Luton did it...

 

[Scotchegg]

Maybe his agent is still licking his lips at the deal that took Murphy to Cardiff and was worried that 6 months ago, neither of them would get another pay day.

Now he has a club that pays well looking to give his client a deal that would see him get a signing on fee and a 2 year (+1) deal with barely any work and a very happy client.

Bloody love the man and really hope he stays. Honestly also feel a bit like… he’s had a good half a season after a few years of pretty average stuff and a really calamitous time at Oxford before Christmas. Would a Champ club really be interested given the potential risk?

I live in the north east and there’s strong rumour Sunderland want him. He’s from Birtley which is Gateshead way. Although Sunderland only usually buy foreign kids nobody’s heard of because there crap these days. So who knows

 

[chromeyellow]

I thought the Murphy twins were from Norfolk. Wikipedia has them born in Wembley.

Who knows whether it would be good for him (or Jacob) to be twins with one playing for Newcastle and the other for Sunderland - but it would be a lot of extra pressure

 

[Yellow River]

If we don’t go up I’d be surprised if he stayed.

However he’s got burnt in the past so I think he’ll be looking very carefully at the manager and style of football at any new club.

I could see him going to Swansea.

Only because it isn’t 3 points we’re playing for next Saturday! Silly Josh.

Yep. And it’s been a joy to watch.

I did say Greg Leigh would be my son in law of choice but Josh a close second

By the way, it would be Josh McEachran third. Those teeth.
