Why sell him - especially for £4m - decent player and not like we need money at present, we haven't exactly broken the bank yet with the funds from the Premier league

At last! Ive been waiting for someone to say this.

For those of you thinking an extra 4m towards player x, the reason we are not paying what clubs are asking is either we dont think the player is value at that price or just plain old negotiation. £4m for Murphy wont make any difference to getting these players in.

Having said that IF we buy players that are considerably better than what we have and the likes of Jamie Murphy are not going to make the 25, then we may consider offers for them. IMHO.

Not sure what we would get from £4m fee with sell on due to Sheff Utd.
Reading are after Fulham's Aluko so he would replace.

Wouldn't necessarily agree with that. No doubt TB/PB have set a player budget for the year. Anyone we sell adds to the budget and may mean we might go after other targets further down the list.

Think in fairness we have substantial funds now, and we are realising that prices have rocketed in line with PL money..just need to get in and start spending the cash... Like what's been already said, can't really see 4 mill coming in asking huge difference to us... It would however start weeding out players deemed unfit for squad of 25... Ince, Norwood, Towell etc out on loan too...

He has earned his day in the sun and you never accept the first offer anyway.

Bad news for those hoping Murphy was leaving. The Albion have dismissed the reports. He's part of our PL plans.

Good.

Jamie Murphy I feel will do well for Brighton in the Premier League and hopefully chip in with half a dozen goals.

It was never on the cards, him leaving. The Manager likes him and values his contribution to the team and the squad

So where is his new contract offer he was expecting?
This is what all this (agent) rumour is about...

Reading have more financial clout.....

Where in the article does it say he is part of Hughton's plans? Merely says the club have dismissed rumours, pretty much what they say every time.

I fear you will be disapointed

I can't read Hughton's mind so he may well be in his plans but that's not what the article says.

Marshy · Jul 18, 2017

Murphy is one I would defo keep unless a stupid offer comes in. He's more suited to the Premier League than a lot of our players.

I think i said he was probably worth 5 million earlier in the thread, but now thinking about it i would want more, nearer 7 before i would consider selling.

PS: Reports *anywhere* saying there's been a bid for a player nearly always doesn't mean these things

- its true (eg: [MENTION=5212]Random[/MENTION]transferaccountlive says bids for player)
- he's for sale (eg Jamie Murphy)
- he's for sale at the price quoted and club will accept first offer going (eg: £4m )
- he's not in clubs plans for the season (even if club dismiss it as nonsense)

obviously some on here will be 100% convinced otherwise.

Of course you can't - I still fear you will be disapointed

Betfair Bozo · Jul 18, 2017

No idea if there is any truth in this but I would rather we kept him.

Mackenzie · Jul 18, 2017

Seems daft to sell a player without signing the replacement first. Can't see this happening, especially as we are struggling to land our targets at the moment.

It could also mean:

The story is a lie (Chinese Whispers are started by countless bloggers and media outlets across Europe, as click bait).
Or
Murphy's side are angling for an Albion contract commensurate with their PL budget, and have started this.
Or
A interested potential buying club is unsettling the player.
