Jamie Murphy is a good player who did well in league 1 and the championship and has already shown he can do it in Scotland. He was never going to be a regular in the EPL, but being at an EPL side, I’d imagine £1 million is seen as almost a nominal fee, they (Brighton) paid nearly £2 million for him. Id agree Niall McGinn is a better piece of business, but think Murphy is as good or better a player and his CV backs that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i'll be wrong but i never particularly rated him as a player, he's decent, no better. The £1 million fee is what makes it "horrendous", especially given Rangers' current position of hemorrhaging cash. I'd also disagree that he done particularly well in the Championship. He played 35 times last year, scoring twice and having 2 assists and was more a squad player than anything else. The season before was much better (although hardly noteworthy), with 6 goals and 5 assists. It's bizarre to me that you value doing not bad in the English Championship over gaining international caps, scoring goals at that level and playing in an international tournament but i guess we all view things differently.

I don't think Rangers will have paid anywhere near £1M for him. I'm not saying that it makes whatever they did "pay" for Murphy a good deal, I'm just saying Rangers have to be seen to be splashing out. I suspect this figure will have been embellished for the Daily Record audience...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobster Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Why are Rangers signing anybody at the moment? They’re not going to win the league and as inconsistent as they are should be good enough for top 3. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me when they don’t have a manager in place and won’t have until the end of the season. Are they shipping some out?

Seemingly a few on the way out according to the press- the Mexicans for example, Cardoso, Alves, plus Tavernier might not be signing a new contract. We don't have a massive squad, if you take into account the injuries - 6/7 players who would have started the last old firm out, and a relatively young squad overall. However, it might not be as easy as the papers think to shift some of these guys, since they will be on decent money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the type of midfielder we need right now but at the end of the season we could need a few more with Christie and McLean moving on. Am I right in thinking he is quite injury prone.

Squirrelhumper Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If we manage to get the wee man back it'll be right up there with our best signings ever. He's moved back into his newly built house in Stewarton and if Rangers aren't in for him I think we've a real chance. He doesn't need the money so I can't see him going to say Hibs for an extra 1k a week. Time will tell of course. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2056196/kilmarnock-move-norwich-rangers-steven-naismith/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a huge mistake as he instantly improves our starting XI. He is of course a very divisive figure amongst the Rangers support but then so was Kenny Miller when he came back.
