callum-ayr Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Murphy will be playing a more holding midfield role, so we will still be looking for at least 1 if not 2 defenders. One of my mates said he met McKenna in Magaluf last week and he is not sure if he will be coming back on loan, looks like it's up to McInness and if he has him in mind for the first team squad at Aberdeen.

Meathead Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 When did McCall say that Murphy would be playing in midfield? Seen it quoted a few times. Seems like a pretty terrible idea on the face of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Looking at the Strikers available on the PFA website, Bob McHugh and Gary Glen could maybe be worth a punt? Bob Mcwho more like [media][/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better idea than him shithousing in defence again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a pretty terrible idea on the face of it. Murphy is a natural midfielder and played there with Carlisle. His distribution from defence is first class so he would do a good job in midfield.

Diamonds are Forever Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Bob Mcwho more like [media][/media] The one who scored a double against you 2 months ago. He'd be great signing for any team in this league, he'll go to a Championship club though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Murphy is a natural midfielder and played there with Carlisle. His distribution from defence is first class so he would do a good job in midfield. That doesn't mean he's still suited to playing in midfield. His distribution is impressive, but put him in a congested midfield at this level and he won't get the time on the ball to be spraying passes everywhere. Even then, being a good passer of the ball alone isn't enough to be a capable holding midfielder (or any kind of midfielder). He clearly doesn't have the legs to be able to cover a lot of ground and he's far too slow to run around breaking up attacks. We already have Ross Docherty who can do everything required of a holding midfielder more than adequately, so I really don't see the point in Murphy being in there as well. Keeping him at the back means he should have the time to pick a pass and, while I'm not completely sold on Murphy defensively, having McLaughlan next to him to do the heavy lifting would give the team quite a nice balance.

DUMFRIES_CREW Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I reckon it might be Steven McKenna from Queen of the South. McKenna is retiring and moving abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
