Brighton & Hove Albion sign Sheffield United winger Jamie Murphy on a four-yeat deal

[Peter Grummit]

He is naturally right footed but you are correct he is competent with both feet. For Sheff Uts he has played mostly right sided but when he was at Motherwell he played predominantly on the left

I like Solly March but he is horribly one-footed. I like him better in the creative midfield role. Murphy would be a better wide option I think.

Is he a right winger or left?

Both but right footed

Interesting reading. Be warned though

Well in 7 pages, they've moved from "he'll never go to Brighton", "£3m+ is what we're looking for" to "Just sell him" and "£2m is good value"

 

[Peter Grummit]

From the video, he clearly has pace, two footed and very composed in front of goal. Less evidence on his delivery and ability to skin defenders. He is much more like Solly than Kaz but with 2 feet!

No real credibilty yet on this info.Would like it to happen, and if he is pulled from their squad tomorrow, i might believe.

To be fair Blade fans are more nicer than there Owl cousins or Leeds folk.

This.

If we'd been buying him off Wednesday there would have been at least seven different jokes about him getting "bummed" and a demand that Murphy gets pilloried for joining a football team that aren't really proper (despite the average 24 - 25k gates). And that's just on page one,

He looks like more a Noone sort than a LuaLua clone. I think that's a positive.

 

[Surf's Up]

Both Sheffield teams have supporters who spend a lot of time with their heads rammed up their arses, United's fans marginally less so than Sheffield (Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) Wednesday's.

So does today's speculation have some legs then?

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

LuaLua is rubbish ... LuaLua and COG are just rubbish footballers

Hmmm

 

[Quinney]

He's got pace, scores goals, plenty of assists, would be a great addition to the squad.
