Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 DANNY MURPHY is ready to quit Charlton, with Manchester City and Newcastle battling for his £3million signature. The England World Cup hopeful is unsettled at The Valley and has not been seeing eye-to-eye with boss Alan Curbishley. Newcastle chief Graeme Souness is ready to offer former Charlton star Lee Bowyer and possibly Amdy Faye in a swap deal. City boss Stuart Pearce is also a big fan of the player and could switch his focus to Murphy as his pursuit of Fulham's Steed Malbranque looks doomed. Pearce will look to chairman John Wardle to fund the deal which should not be a problem as City have major finances available after the £21m summer sale of Shaun Wright-Phillips to Chelsea. However, Newcastle appear to be in pole position with Curbishley keen on a deal for Bowyer who wants to return to London. Curbishley said: "It is no secret Bowyer wants to come back to London if he can. I think he will look at us in that respect. "At the moment we have made no bid for Bowyer and Newcastle have got Parker doubtful and Emre out. "Once the window opens, we will see." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wor Al 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'd like to see him here. He's a good player and has setup a lot of goals this season. Swapping him for that twat would be a good piece of business, even if we pay one or two million on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked Murphy, he's one of the few English players who is actually underrated. I don't think he would be first choice if everyone's fit, but seeing as that never happens, a swap deal for Bowyer plus one or two million sounds good. What's the source?

TheInspiration 1 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Great player all the same; he'd pick Owen's runs out well. Another shock move? http://www.tribalfootball.com/december/eng...ews8311205.html Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Murphy for Bowyer seems to good to be true. Is Murphy a friend of Owens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1053 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 thatll probably explain charltons recent slip in form. Murphy was outstanding while they were on their run. Since his form has dipped, they havent performed nearly as well. Good business if its true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Good free-kick taker isn't he? Would settle in as Owen's already a toon player. Who knows, maybe we'll end up with Dudek as reserve for Shay if we keep buying ex liverpool players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter rubbish I am talking though. Edited December 31, 2005 by TheInspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
