Firth - anyone confident he s a suitable replacement??? We have Foderingham, Alanwick, Firth, and McCrorie coming through. We don’t need all those keepers as backup to McGregor.

So do wonder if we’d still be a bit bulky. Don’t envy Gerrard, that’s for sure... Murphy, Grezda, and Middleton also play those wide positions. Just shows how bloated the squad is in those areas.

Are they still on their tours of Mexico? His contract was terminated in May iirc. He’s in Poland now. Herrera is still on the books hopefully for not long Info is correct at time of drinking Jack Daniels on a POETS day bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crazy when you consider how many players we have on the books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crazy when you consider how many players we have on the books. The only way Murphy leaves is because he can't recover from his injury. I highly doubt with today's recovery techniques that will be the case. I fully expect him to be around the first team by August. He has tons of experience.

BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I’m really not convinced and don’t think that’s quite the case mate. He will have definitely lost a bit of pace, the ability to turn/change direction as quickly and unlike many examples of people who have returned in the past, we have to factor in playing on plastic pitches easily a good 10 times per year (likely against the teams he’d have been used against e.g. Hamilton, Livingston, Killie). Hope I’m wrong, as I like the guy, but the fact he won’t play on plastic pitches and when SG looks at all his wide/midfield options, I think Murphy might be the one he feels most uncomfortable about throwing in. And, he’ll be on a decent wage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m genuinely surprised anyone would see him as a future no. 1 when McGregor retires. We don't need a replacement -- we need a backup which Is what we were discussing - Fod imho fits that bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
