I don’t think we’ve been taken to the cleaners. In the grand scheme of things £11m is **** all, if we had survived last season but we didn’t. We took a punt/risk on Murphy and it’s not worked out. The talk at Norwich was about talent he possessed but not consistent. That’s how he was in the Premier League when he actually had a chance. He, along with others, were chopped and changed week in, week out, which wouldn’t help any player striving for consistency. And I think his confidence is shot now and obviously Harris hasn’t warmed to him.
A move elsewhere would probably be the best for all parties but looks like something will have to give in terms with of his wage demands and our transfer fee demands.
