JFH and Murphy - The ongoing saga .......

[bocadillo]

Re: Not one rumoured before but...

When you getting your season ticket then Boc?

It's the first time that I've even thought that I might. But i think I'd be better to continue to give it a break for a while and come back when I'm really straining at the leash.

Re: Not one rumoured before but...

Why is everyone getting so excited about this?

JFH only scored two league goals last season, against Chelsea and Middlesbrough. So it looks like he only makes an effort when he's playing against his former clubs. Expect a goal against Charlton and bugger all for the rest of the season.

I agree - saw him a couple of times last season and he looked slow, disinterested and, in short, past it.

Murphy however....

Re: Not one rumoured before but...

Don't give a toss - he's still better than MDV, Cort and Fryatt put together IMO

And it's Murphy that I suspect is causing the most excitement - or maybe you think he is shit as well ?

I haven't seen enough of Murphy recently to know if he's any good or not.

But what's amazed me is people who were saying Fowler would have been crap are now getting excited about someone who doesn't seem to be much different - JFH's stats for last season are much worse than fowler's.

JFH was a great player. Hopefully last season was a one off and he can be great for us. But I'm not going to get too excited until I see him play, I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed, and getting too optimistic before the start of the season is setting up a lot of people for possible disappointment.

But the people who were criticising Fowler were idiots

Seriously

Fryatt over Fowler was the argument FFS :icon_roll

The ONLY issue with both players is fitness (and seeing Fowler the other day, maybe they have a point). If Jimmy stays fit he is better than anything we have, by a feckin' country mile - same would have applied to Fowler.

Simple

TBH, I have seen more of Fowler than JFH in the past year or so. I simply base my opinion on that.

My hunch on Fowler has had some support - his injury in a pre-season friendly from simply overstretching.

At least he's played a pre-season friendly.

JFH and Murphy are class. Class doe's not disappear with age, pace goes a little but class players compensate for this because they have the intelligence and guile to adopt their game to suit the lack of pace.

Both will/would be fantastic signings!

damn...swore I'd stay away from here for a while but this one has got me interested again!!!! Fantastic if its all true

idve preferred to have signed a left back instead :icon_bigg:icon_bigg

Re: Not one rumoured before but...

Hate to be a misery guts but, if confirmed:

JFH & Murphy are publicity seeking 'names' and nothing more. They have shown feck all over the last couple of years except that they are rich, injury prone and couldn't give a toss anymore.

Stupid, stupid signings. Why the hell do we need more forwards and central midfielders anyway? What about the absence of a decent keeper and no left hand side apart from a 16 year old and a useless dwarf?

I tell you all now, when we've been done by Blackpool tomorrow and hopelessly exposed for the shortcomings we still have in key areas, JFH and Murphy are not going to look so good.

I am only going to believe JFH signing for us is true if Newts comes on here to confirm it!
