Is it common to get a testimonial from a team who you merely supported? Undoubtedly deserves it, though wouldn't put it past them to send their U17s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yep looking like Murphy. No sure how we will lineup with him. Won't be a direct replacement for Dipo, can't seem him playing as a central lone striker and won't be a winger in a 442. So most likely supporting striker. Will reserve my excitement as with these older experienced pros, never seems to work out for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Chalmers and Mullen playing as narrower wingers for a couple of months as part of a front three, Assuming he doesn't fancy playing JML or O'Conner every week and rightly not playing Ashford and McKenzie there, we need another wide player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibility, hopefully has the legs for that role, sure Saints fans like know a little more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 With us starting pre season training a week today I think it would be fair to expect 2/3 signings this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’ll be a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 with Murphy on the left and able to cut inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s basically a Mullen replacement but on the other side. Fits the experienced type that Bullen was on about but I’m hoping he contributes more than Maguire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say that the club had more success in this area with centre halves and midfielders, but there is one standout over the last 10-15... Mark Roberts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that type of role from the left, you sort of hope that we bring in a left footer to have that balance we had with Chalmers and Mullin. That allows one or 2 of Ashford, JML or O'Connor to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An unbelievably intelligent striker and if he hadn’t played for Killie he would’ve been more appreciated amongst our fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brillaint for us and I think he was even a popular choice once he took over from Reid. However some of the teams and players he signed and reluctance with youth etc just gnawed away all the good faith with the fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Murphy feels like a very high risk signing. Will take a big wage out of us and there are obvious concerns about whether he still has the legs to play out wide. Sounds like he was never more than an impact sub for St Johnstone which is no use to us if that’s all he’s now capable of. It’s a decade since he was a vaguely prolific goalscorer, so not sure why anyone thinks we would be playing him as a forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
