Big Fifer Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Paul McManus. Agreed a contract extension and then when you guys came in with a better offer he ripped our contract up after we announced he had resigned. Ach I was 12 at the time, must have whooshed over my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so it’s better than the old boards habit of letting contracted players go for nothing but that’s not a “very, very good deal” for someone like Murray in my opinion. I’d rather keep him unless the fee was enough to pay for another player for a year. Ten thousand pounds for a decent League 1 player is a cracking deal, in my opinion. Murray has been good without being great, still don't know what his best position is so if Mcglynn gets to re invest that money then its hard to feel short changed at all.

Roath Raver Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 10.30 was someone’s guess. The club has said it will announce signings when they have clearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’d rather keep him unless the fee was enough to pay for another player for a year. We would have the £10k plus Murray's wages to play with which might allow us to get someone better in. Personally I think £15-20k would be a decent enough fee for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not often I disagree with your opinion mate. If McGlynn has replacement/s lined up then maybe it’s not such a blow. Like I said above, if the figure was somewhere around £30-40k or so then I think that would be fair enough as we could get another player in with the fee as well as a replacement with Murray’s freed up wages. Not suggesting he’s actually worth that much but anything less and we’d have been better keeping him in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly surprised though that you spent money on the guy. Edited June 11, 2019 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always 100% commitment from him. Definitely in the 'keep' pile for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell in amongst all the tears. Never mind, at least you've still got your top scorer...... Murray is a good/decent League 1 player albeit with no Championship experience. Ever present in a defence that leaked goals for fun all season long, so there's only so much his loss can be mourned, especially if somebody has actually paid money for him. I would have liked him to stay, but a five figure sum should easily go some way to sourcing an adequate replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we start the season with actual full backs and centre backs then I'd say we've come out of this pretty well. If we bank the cash and try and get by, which isn't beyond possibility, then I would certainly agree with yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If muzza had, had a regular run of games at cb I think he would have been a very good player for us. As it is he was good but never made any position his own due to being shifted about constantly. He's a loss for us and it will be interesting to see how he does making the step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
