Mason 47 1,373 Posted October 10, 2016 When Redmond left in the summer, there were a lot of us (including myself) that felt a bit wounded by his departure, especially for what is as close as you get to a bargain for a young English player these days.With his last goal against Newcastle, Josh Murphy has now surpassed Redmond''s goal record for us in the Championship. Admittedly, he still has 11 assists left to chase down, not including the three ''almost'' assist he does have, but on current form he''s doing pretty alright.So the question is, given that Jacob was subject of a 300k bid in the summer, and he now looks to casually surpass our previously most prized English primrose, should we be looking at Reading''s Head Scout?The mind boggles.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 10, 2016 it beggars belief they thought they could get him for £300k! maybe they thought he has a release clause. I''d have understood if they thought a couple of million we may have chosen to cash in and put the money towards a more established player but £300k is pocket change to us, a nominal amount.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 10, 2016 It will be a sad day if one or both of the Murphies get sold on. If it happens, hopefully will be when they have helped us to some great success and have made themselves into top players capable of being wanted by the likes of MU, MC, etc. Selling to anyone of equivalent status as us, or just above wouldn''t make much sense anyway.

Woodman 92 Posted October 10, 2016 would you offer them the same contract? Before this season, I''d have said Josh was more likely to succeed than Jacob, but so far its the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,336 Posted October 10, 2016 [quote user="VanWink"]They love the club and it will take a lot to prise them away IMO.[/quote]Brave words VW but sadly we all know that if they carry on their present trajectory they won''t be here for long.

Donkey dangler 0 Posted October 17, 2016 To think that some on this site thought Jacob Murphy wasn''t up to much ans should be sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
