Jamie Murphy on the radar

[H18sry]

Hibernian will try to sign Sheffield United's former Motherwell striker Jamie Murphy in January.

From BBC gossip column

Was he not more of a winger or am I getting him mixed up with someone else?

Remember the rangers trying to sign him from well so he must have been doing pretty well for them.

[Heisenberg]

He's a good player. Be very happy if we were to sign him.

[Purehibee_MYB]

If he can recapture some of this form then I would be very excited...

Excellent player. Can play up front and wide. Has pace and can take on a man. Ticks all the boxes for us at the moment.

That's him probably. I remember a Motherwell mate complaining about him being played as a winger when he was a natural striker.

[Heedersnvolleys]

Excellent player. Can play up front and wide. Has pace and can take on a man. Ticks all the boxes for us at the moment.

More importantly seems to tick all the boxes of the type of player our manager likes 😃

What he said!!!

[hibbymick]

Would be a good signing for us but let's remember it's the BBC

[sauzee=legend]

9 post's without a negative word.... That might be a new record. Can play left, right or through the middle so will be an exactly signing for us.

No its not, its the BBC gossip column that has taken this info from the Sun.

(Contrary to popular opinion, more often than not they are right when it comes to rumours about hibs)

Mmmm, & Kenny Millar at the Sun probably got it from here! It's a self-fulfilling prophecy! Hope it happens though! :greengrin

Not being negative but his goalscoring record is nothing special
34 goals in 176 for Murderwelll and 2 n 29 for Sheff utd
So would prefer him as a wide man if he has pace supplying balls for a more natural goalscorer

Here's a negative comment... That video compilation is guff.

[Paperboy]

This will be the same Jamie Murphy that his manager Nigel Cough said on the other day he had high hopes for him now he's hit some form...

[frazeHFC]

Was really good at Motherwell, i'm sure with a few games he'd get back to his best at us. Would be pleased if we get him!

[Paperboy]

Think we're more likely to get James Murphy...

Altogether "Daft Punk are playing in my house. MY HOUSE!"

[LancsHibs]

Here's a negative comment... That video compilation is guff.
Looks a good player:thumbsup: but WTF was that music! Had to turn the sound off!

[Onion]

Outstanding player and would be delighted if we signed the guy. If he's on the market, likely others will be in for him too.. the sort that DUFC and Dons would buy.

[S4uzee]

He reminds me of Riordan when he was younger, similar build and similar type of play, cutting in from the left

[Keith_M]

Do we still consider the quality of his Website as the ultimate arbiter of talent or is that old hat in the days of Twitter, et al?


:dunno:

[hibsbollah]

Remember him scoring against us and generally running our full backs (van zanten, hart or some other rabbit in headlights) ragged. Do we really want another weedgie Rangers fan at the club though? :stirrer:

[Green_one]

Exactly. Little chance of getting him unless its a loan. We did not get him last time either.

Happy if we did though. He has talent but not an out and out goal scorer.

:dunno:

Well it is the first thing I look for so in my opinion it is extremely important to have a good website.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Would be a good signing but wouldnt he cost? And is he a winger or more of a striker?

[easty]

Would be a good signing, I'd prefer him out wide, if we can get a good pacy winger getting to the line and making chances I've nae doubt Heff and Collins would get plenty goals between them.

[blackpoolhibs]

I was speaking to a Sheffield United fan a few weeks ago, and he mentioned how they had signed him and how badly he'd been playing for them.

Saw him again this morning and told him i'd heard we might be sniffing about him, and he put his hands together in a praying motion.

He does not rate him, and said he'd be chuffed if they could move him on.

I cant remember him at all, but seem to remember a few clubs were after him when he left Motherwell?

Perhaps a move nearer home, and a different club could be good for all parties? :dunno:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

i will be happy enough if we can confirm that we actually have a radar, never mind who is on it or not on it.

[Eyrie]

Not only do we have a radar, but it's the top of the range Marsella model which has an excellent record.

Petrie spending money on infrastructure again. :-(

[Billy Whizz]

He was a player who blew hot and cold at Motherwell. Went on a scoring spree and they didn't score for weeks. Probably a good age to sign though as we have a lot of very young strikers like Cummings, Handling and Caldwell. One of them might go out on loan to get some game experience

Don't think Caldwell will be kept and if Danny can't force his way back into team before other striker signed in transfer window he will be even further down pecking order but yet probably can't risk him being loaned out as squad player now and he may feel a loan is a snub at this point .Cummings might be one to loan out with clause saying can be recalled at any point as he needs to show he can score at higher level than under 20 s and that might give him confidence he needs On other hand he maybe just needs one to be misfit and go in and the floodgates will open Haven't seen enough of him yet to know what's best for him and club

From BBC gossip column


Was in the Kirkgate ( Leith) this morning close by to " Gregg's" and was told we were looking to sign an "English Div 1 striker "

There you are now :greengrin:wink:
Knew it couldn't be " Sparky" !!!!!!!!!

[The Sea-gull]

Murphy is a proven creative player at spl level and this is what we need. His goals return is not that great but it must be remembered he is not an out and out striker and is more of a wide player. When this is considered his goals per game ratio is very decent. Imagine him on the left and Harris on the right supplying Heff or Collins (or Billy McKay, Leigh Griffiths or David Clarkson) suddenly we are a different team. He is the sort of player that Aberdeen and Dundee United would be after but unless they lose players they are sorted in that area. I would see Motherwell as our main competitors. Hearts will probably offer him a couple of grand a week more to make sure they get him. Oh wait a minute, I forgot, they can't!

[Heisenberg]

If he's available on loan and Motherwell want him i think we could lose out. Although having Malpas on our side could help in enticing him to ER.

Can't see Handling going out anywhere. Butcher seems to like him and he can play a bit deeper. Cummings is obviously a bit younger bit has clearly moved ahead of Caldwell. Caldwell would be the one to go if any if imagine but I can't see him being retained past this season anyway.

[Ronniekirk]

If we don't start winning home games and Petrie is still cautious it will be interesting to see who knocks us back as well as who comes in Sometimes the players we are linked with are often better than the ones we eventually bring in .Surely even Petrie must realise the only way to get more bums on sats is to back new Management Team in Transfer Market and start rebuilding an attacking Team with pace ,width ,creativity and flair .

[spike220]

PF would be gutted he missed a signing with such a strong Irish name.

I remember him a brilliant player would be happy to see him play for us

Sorry but Clarkson isn't good enough for me. I watched him for Bristol Rovers and he never touched the ball for 45 minutes.

Really thought he was a good player at Well and did ok at Bristol City but don't think I'd want him at ER.

I'm not that fussed about him either to be honest. I heard we are interested as TB and MM rate him from their time at Motherwell and tried to sign him for ICT a few times.

Nae probs. hopefully the still don't rate them (but will have to trust them).

[3pm]

Looks like a goal and assist for him today. Won't be coming if he keeps that up!

[hfc rd]

Wouldn't mind him here at all but it looks as if Clough rates him. Very doubt it, that he will be coming here.

[Greencore]

Would be a good signing for hibs.

Danny and Jason won't be going anywhere.

[hfc rd]

Agree. If their is any striker that is most likely going to be heading out on loan, I think it will be Caldwell. But that's if TB does sign a striker.

Good. I thought Jason had a good game today. I like the way he takes the ball in, turns and runs at defences. Been a while since we had a striker like that (Leigh excepted)

[IWasThere2016]

Looks like a goal and assist for him today. Won't be coming if he keeps that up!

It's not always just about the player - often an unsettled family is the MAIN factor.

[Squealing pig]

Would bé a great signing exact kind of player were crying out for. Onwards and uPwards

[joebakerforever]

Scored for The Blades yesterday - would imagine he will be going nowhere.
