Happy days
Good signing I think.
Not knocking Warnock but has he ever signed someone who wasn't his number one target? :hehe:
True! :hehe:Quote:

He becomes a Premier League regular on FM so fingers crossed he is the same in real life!
I'm delighted as he's NW number 1 choice.
I'm sure he'll do well.
That's his positive spin. Now for an alternative for Zohore...Quote:

<p>Cardif City have opened their summer transfer business with the signing of 23 year old winger Josh Murphy from Norwich City.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <img title="C:WindowsTempphp74E3.tmp" src="http://pictures.footymad.net/upload/120/917059-1.jpg" alt="C:WindowsTempphp74E3.tmp" width="500" height="281" /><br />Image from <a href="https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk</a></p>
<p>Murphy signs a four year deal for a undisclosed fee thought to be in the region of £11m. 12 months ago Murphy's twin brother Jacob left Carow Rd for then newly promoted Newcastle Utd for £10m.</p>
<p>Neil Warnock said this morning:</p>
<p>“Josh is a player I’ve watched for a number of years now and he’s always excited me when he runs with the ball,” Warnock told the Bluebirds’ official site.<br /><br />“I think he’s at the right age now with his best still to come. He can play an instrumental part in helping us to stay in the Premier League and I know he’s looking forward to the challenge.</p>
<p>“He’s been my number one target since the end of last season.”</p>
<p>Murphy has some Premier league experience, he played nine games in the 13/14 season and last year scored 11 times for the Canaries last season including a memorable goal v Aston Villa (see below). In a seaon on loan at MK Dons he scored twice against Cardiff.</p>
<p>A reel of some of his best bits is below: (mute the volume)</p>

Oh dear, what does Neil tell the next person who signs? "You were my number 2 target".
Welcome Josh, I hope you do very well but I also hope that you're not the pinnacle of our summer signings.
This boy looks like a very good player. He appears to be two footed, has pace and is also quite big/strong. Should be able to provide the ammunition for Zohore and possibly Madine as well as score goals himself. If he is as good as the clips show, he is worth £11m any day due to his age and potential.
Excellent.
Two footed, young, confident and knows how to finish that's for sure.
Hopefully he can make the step up, Warnock thinks he can so that'll do for me.
Excellent signing. More of the same please Neil. Hope Junior signs soon too.
Neil Warnock got more number ones that Elvis Presley!
So only £9m left in the kitty :sherlock:Quote:

Welcome to the City Josh.
Spedger
He does come across as being genuinely nice, pleasant demeanour. I have a feeling he will become popular here. :ayatollah:Quote:
