Must be a strange life as a senior 3rd choice keeper. Don't really see need for one myself. Better off just doing a player coach or using youngsters.

I agree with that, but whenever Murphy was needed to play he performed very well. He also seems to have been a very popular and supportive squad member - and was mentioned in interviews with other players as one of the good guys. If he was filling an unneeded slot and taking up a wage (surely not a big wage) that isn't his fault. I liked what I saw of him in interviews and his rare appearances on the pitch. Good luck to him at Waterford.
I agree with you. He fulfilled his role as 3rd choice keeper and squad member very well. When he did turn out for us I don’t recall him letting us down. He was hardly a costly option. Extravagance is having 2 keepers of the standard of Smithies and Etheridge on your books at the same time. Cash in on the latter ASAP. Also, what is the justification for calling him a “mate of Warnock”. Their club career doesn’t seem to have coincided. In my view Murphy has left CCFC with his reputation unquestioned which is more than can be said of NW.
20k a week saved? Are you constantly pissed?
We probably don't have Murphy here now because he's talked to Harris who may have said something along the lines of he won't be needed next year, so he's decided to go home early.
Could this then be a chance to use Ratcliffe as the third keeper? As has been suggested he could train with us midweek and play out on loan to get match experience, maybe at Barry or possibly higher if he's wanted.
But I doubt we've saved 20k a week
I know where he's on loan, hence suggesting Barry, or somewhere at a higher level if he's wanted. My understanding is he's with Barry all week, what Bob suggested and I'd been thinking, was he would be better off training with us all week and playing games for them at the weekend.
My post also said "maybe" in regards to Murphy, I was speculating as I wasn't sure.
Soccer souls.com states the average salary of a Championship player is £10,998/week! Ridiculous I know but FACT!
According to some sources Joe Day £3k a week, Brian Murphy £1k a week. Seems much more realistic to me.
