[Mackenzie]

He won't join us for two reasons:

1) We're too far from Scotland and he has a baby.
2) Although we've been in the Championship for the last 4 seasons (and in the playoffs for 2 of those) while Sheffield Utd have been in League 1, Brighton would be a backwards step from Utd, and they are more likely to be in the Championship next year than us.

I know this to be true, as I have checked out http://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/brighton-in-for-murphy.40328/

That was an interesting read.

I don't think the Sheffield fans are aware of how much our club has grown over the last few years. Mind you we haven't played them since 2006 so perhaps that isn't surprising.

They seem over-confident that he won't be leaving.

Sky Sports news say this morning that we are poised to sign Jamie Murphy.

Sky sports news on tv, they say we are "poised to sign" him.

Murphy didn't feature in there squad this evening...they did change the side from last saturday..but the rest of there forward line either played or was on the bench....probably nothing in it

Maybe there was something in it

All true but don't forget we are a 'dire' club apparently.

I didn't know that. I still have much to learn.

Maybe they rate our chances of going up

It's weird how far behind the times some fans are. We're well supported, well financed, and we've been above them for 4 / 5 years. And we're trying to buy their best player, but he wouldn't be our best player. You'd have to be fairly deluded to think it's even a sideways move, let alone a backwards one.

Reminds me of Swindon fans who claimed Gordon Greer was taking a massive backwards step when joining us.

We'd make the same comments if Kayal signed for Bournemouth.

It is the law of football transfers.

 

[Sheebo]

Murphy story for £2mil seems to have re surfaced on Twitter but just seems to be from their fans - not sure on original source of this. Tweets range from the unfunny 'I'll drive him there myself' to 'I'll return my season ticket if we sell him'. So fickle is football.

He's only a (diehard) fan but well, we do need someone!

Fair play to that Sheff Utd fan - seems to be the first today to say it's going to happen .. Also to [MENTION=30752]NooBHA[/MENTION] who's been confident of this one going through all Summer
