Murphy's law

Wednesday, 22/09/2010


Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy will sign a new deal at Craven Cottage this week, potentially extending his playing career till the age of 36.

Murphy, who is 34 next March, captained the Cottagers to their first European final in May and has been offered a new one-year deal, with the option for the club to automatically extend it.

Murphy is the latest player to be offered fresh terms at the West London outfit.

Defender Chris Baird signed a new three-year deal last week, Bobby Zamora and Dickson Etuhu penned extensions at the start of the month, while Simon Davies agreed a new deal last month.

* Murphy played in Fulham's 2-0 Carling Cup defeat to Stoke last night.

Just go all out to sign Charlie Adam, cant believe Blackpool got him for half a mill, absolute quality. Murphy is in steep decline.

Blackpool are skint and will go down this season, £5m should do it.

Not in my opinion.

I don't care how often people say it I see no decline in Murphy. He bosses the team and provides great leadership.

That Hughes wants to give him a new 2 year contract suggests that he sees that.

Is Shoot still going? I used to keep all my old Shoots in my attic. But had to rid myself of them along with all my Goals.

How sad that is on so many levels.

I am buying the collections of TV 21 now.

As much as I like him,I think a 1 year contract would have been enough.He is already at the stage of his career where he is taken off early due to fatigue.

I agree - he can still turn a game in our favour with 1 pass. I also thick he will a great trainer or manager at some point and I think it would be better here than elsewhere!

I think it is good news. I'm sure Mr. Mackenzie has a longer view of what is needed beyond this season and if Murphy is signed to a contract for more than a year they see value in his leadership and his playing abilities. Fulham may also see Murphy in a mentoring role for the younger players as well. This maybe more difficult for us to judge on the outside looking in. Even if he fades physically, he will be a huge asset to younger players coming into the squad who may in fact replace him. I think this is a great move.
