Alex Murphy going on loan to Bolton

Good, he needs proper game time.

If it's £15 million or thereabouts aye, I'd be ok, it was when folks were clamouring to get rid for £6-£10 mill I had severe reservations.

 

I certainly don't agree with the second sentence, we need pace at CB way more than we need a new RW at this moment in time IMO. We do need a better/electric RW option but in summer would be fine for that.

 

We only have one CB who is starting quality for the foreseeable future, all the others could be ready for the glue factory in 12 months.

 

 

Aye but it's not like going to the shops and picking up what you need, it's having the PSR room to spend when the right player becomes available.

 

It'd be great to sell who we want, when we want so we could buy who we want, when we want. But it doesn't work like that. We need to have the cash here and now. 

 

Someone wants to give us money for our reserve centreback.

must mean we’re keeping Kelly as losing both of them would leave us short if we had an injury crisis

Read something last week where he (Murphy) had asked to go out on loan, he'll probably have a recall clause.

No it wouldn't. Not really.

it would leave us with three options at centre back currently fit, with two still due to return from injury. you ideally want at least two players covering each position. i suppose it's a gamble they think is worth taking. 

 

murphy has looked quite promising to me, on the rare occasion he's had minutes. i wouldn't be against keeping him, but perhaps this means both krafth and lascelles are close to a return. i wouldn't be against him going out on loan in that case. 

[Optimistic Nut 320]

Krafth can play RCB I guess, so would still mean 4 senior CBs?

Krafth is fit, no?

 

 

[Dr Gloom 22854]

is he? i thought he's broken his shoulder or something 

[Holden McGroin 7091]

He was named on bench v Wolves and then didn’t make it v Bournemouth along with Targett. I assume tactical.
