Marshall/Murphy/Buckley/Bennett

severnside gull · Aug 8, 2015

Keeping an eye on the four wingers we've been most recently linked with.......,

Marshall - played 90 mins for Blackburn. Influential despite defeat. Questionable if the Venkys will sell at any sensible price
Murphy - Sheff Utd hammered 4-0 by Gillingham. Sale might find some quick rebuilding
Bennett - not in the squad for first home game of the season. How often will he figure for them?
Buckley - not in the Sunderland squad and they want rid of him. Would he man-up and return here or take the easy option and head for Leeds?

Look to see if Muzzy Carayol is in the Boro squad on Monday night? And Wildschut?

In our position I would go for either of the Bs Buckley or Bennett depending on price/loan availability.

Interesting. Thanks for keeping an eye out!

Murphy - Sheff Utd hammered 4-0 by Gillingham. Sale might find some quick rebuilding - I also hope so
Bennett - not in the squad for first home game of the season. How often will he figure for them? - realistically both of the above are better options
Buckley - not in the Sunderland squad and they want rid of him. Would he man-up and return here or take the easy option and head for Leeds? - Fully fit, go for it, but he's never fully fit

If you showed this complete lack of imagination while working for the club, it might go some way to explaining why we've been shitehouse of most of the last 114 years.

Why? Why not go for the better players first?

Go abroad! £3m turned down for Marshall, that would buy a lot from abroad.

Buckley? No thank you. Good player on his day BUT he didn't leave under the best of circumstances and he is very injury prone. I'd go for Marshall, Bennett or even try to tempt Noone back before going after Buckley.

Oh and I'd have Tommy Oar over Buckley too.

But we haven't been linked to Buckley

Wouldn't want him if we were.

I think we'll be looking further afield than this...I know we've signed one former player but surely horizons need to be widened. The same old names cropping up over and over again... let's have some originality!

That's why I added Tommy Oar to my list :thumbsup:

Spoke to my Gillingham friend and he said Murphy was Sheff Utd's best player, but was actually shocking like most of their team. Hope Nige can keep up!

We tried that in Holland.

We tried it in Spain too. And elsewhere. It works!

Because we have allegedly had good offers turned down for the other players and we kniw what we will get with Buckley and Bennett, more a safety first approach rather than take a chance and I feel that both could solve our wide man problem at a reasonable cost.

We know with Buckley we will get hamstring trouble :thumbsup:

I'd take any of those 4. If we're gonna play 442 then I'd like 2 out of those 4

- not too fussed who, think they all have their own merits...

Carayol signed a new contract with Boro for 2/3 years before last season even finished or very near after the end

He signed it when he returned from his loan here but did say in his final radio interview that anything was possible in football and nothing should be ruled out or assumed.

Then they want a transfer fee.
