    Might Murphy play through the middle? Most of his highlights reel he seems to be more central. Blistering pace and a decent finish. Not convinced if he's one for getting past a full back and putting in crosses.

    McGeady in last year of his contract vs Murphy with 4 years to buy out. Everton wanting to clear the deadwood vs Norwich wanting to keep. Rising star vs ageing dinosaur. It's not hard to justify the difference in transfer fees. Even still £250k is ridiculously low for McGeady so I suspect he's on high wages and the fee is effectively reduced to compensate.

    Think Bri is being a bit tongue-in-cheek with this. However would agree that McGeady could be a good buy for a team trying to get out of the championship at the first attempt. I hope they have him on a short term contract though as he won't get any better and his salary could become a drag if they don't get back up quickly.

    A good solid signing for us. We need a striker pronto though.

    It just shows that you skiprats are trawling the bins for scraps, waifs and strays whilst we are building a team with longevity. Daryl Murphy is available but you are brassic so wouldn't be able to afford his big toe. Boro have spent £30m and show ambition. As do a lot of other EFL teams. Yous will struggle to stay up in that league big time.

    Sounds like he is on the way but I'd rather take Zouma on loan from Chelsea

    Nope, we all know the crap Chelsea now put in the terms of borrowing their players!

    "Make our players better so we can buy more youngsters, or pay us £10m". It's more or less becoming extortion from these big clubs. Meanwhile, at FA headquarters....

    I don't think there is any 'ouch' about it to be honest.

    Similar output last season. Only 22 Murphy though so should end up a lot better than McGeady with the right coaching - that's what you are paying for I'd imagine. Obviously he will have to develop but its buttons for an U21 international really. Has to prove he can develop into a PL player as opposed to just a very good championship player.

    McGeady is a signing to assist getting you out of a division, probably do a decent job. Lazy little bastard who has never fulfilled his potential, but has always had a decent level of ability. 31 now though so not going to get any better and won't be around that much longer. Couldn't cut it at the PL level but he doesn't need to this season.

    I'd say the fees are fair and about right. Maybe McGeady on the cheap side but Everton will know unless its a PL club asking for him, its difficult to get a high fee. Plus he was out of contract at the end of the season whereas Murphy's runs until 2021 I think.

    It was tounge in cheek. I was to ponder(and have done on my own board) if he would have been so cheap had we stayed up. Which I don't think he would have been. Doing all this on my board now though. Tried to chat here, chased straight off. Lucky there's plenty Mags prefer our board so I can still have the same chats. Just stimulates our board instead of yours. **** ya's now <ok><laugh>

    Awww Bri - don't get upset mate - we all know you're here for a good, honest chat about the footy.

    If you'd stayed up - no, but would you have been looking at him if you had?

    You are clearly back on the narcotics it seems. I thought you left because your board was so ****?

    Arnautovic supposedly going to West Ham for £24m. I would have quite liked him here but these fees man, jeez. :emoticon-0181-fubar
