king canary 7,617 Posted July 26, 2016 £300k? They can times it by about 10 then we might consider it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted July 26, 2016 We do have to consider if he is going to play? I like him but is his brother going to block his pathway into the team and is a transfer to a championship club a good way of getting a future fee with a decent sell on. Got to be more than 300k though that 1990''s pricing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted July 26, 2016 If we sell him for anything like that number then we clearly have got financial worries! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 26, 2016 £300k is not good money at all. The Murphy''s have both proven themselves as goal-scoring and assisting wide players. Plus I very much doubt we''ll be selling either of them until we know we have the other wide players nailed down.Reality is right now we have:Canos, Murphy''s (2) and Brady along with Jarvis who is out injured again. So, should Brady be sold, we could be looking at having three fit wide players.Naismith can play there too, along with Hoolahan, but it''s not either''s preferred or most effective position.

Indy_Bones 441 Posted July 26, 2016 Jacob was one of the best performers in League One for his position last year, is in a great position to either go loan to a champs side this season or potentially be called upon by AN if he feels he''s ready enough, and on that basis alone 300k is a complete joke of an offer.Canos only has a years more Champs experience and easily looks worth the 2.5mil we''ve paid for him, and any offer for Murphy would need to be at least 50-60% of that, to even be worth considering, ergo unless we get a sensible offer of 1mil or more, we shouldn''t even be entertaining the idea IMHO.

KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted July 26, 2016 Would be devastated if we let him go for 1m. Some decent performances at Championship level and suddenly we have a multi million pound player on our hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 505 Posted July 26, 2016 We paid 1 million on AN''s recommendation for the French Stick that makes Murphy worth 10 million Bring in Steve Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,704 Posted July 26, 2016 Good. What does category a status cost us? 2.5 mill a year? If we dont want him and can get that it pays for the academy for a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 26, 2016 Don''t want either Jacob or Josh to go, for any fee, as they''re going places with US. I reckon both will score numerous goals this season given the opportunity (which they have every chance after a perfect confidence boosting pre season). Said to Josh 2 or 3 years back that he was going to be a star for us if he worked hard through the ranks, and obviously that''s what he hoped too, he had his unassuming feet on the ground then and I''m sure it''s no different now, a genuinely good kid - I''m really pleased how things are going for both Murphy''s, our best home grown prospects since Bellas and they fully deserve it, nice one Jacob and Josh - now tear the Championship a new one 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleCanary 0 Posted July 27, 2016 Jacob gets better than Josh on Fifa, maybe that''s how reading chose between them? Surely Josh just edges his brother in terms of the most developed? I wonder what they see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted July 27, 2016 None of our "youth" contingent should be for sale. Loans only, and only if it is right for the player. Some of these now should be staking claims on first team action; Toffolo, Maddison, Thompson, Murphy''s, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis DW 11 Posted June 22, 2017 It''s interesting reading how much people were ''wanting'' for Jacob Murphy last summer? It''s surprising that he wasn''t our Player of the Season considering most fans now value how at at least 10 times what they did last season??!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,161 Posted June 22, 2017 £300k is derisory frankly in the current market, it''s not as if he''s on silly wages for the division. I suspect it''s a simple try on to see if we''d be interested at 1m-2m and I really hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
