Breaking News Rhys Murphy joins Yeovil

[Cricko]

Bothered....NOT. He spent most of his time playing here on his arse.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

I would have driven there myself! Absolutely milked the club out of wages and was always injured!! Good riddance.

 

[Andy_S]

It’s almost like people think players get serious injuries on purpose?

 

[Swiss Tony]

I’d rather have a good player who is available most games but arrogant, more points on the tally.

 

[CMRandall92]

He was comfortably our best striker when fit imho. Unfortunately that was a very rare occurrence. Even when he did play he wasn’t often at 100%

Glad to be saving the wages but wish him all the best

Not so OBL, it’s just playing football was his buisness and that weren’t often, like a motor bike with no handle bars.

They probably don’t but Christ we certainly get a bucket load at roots hall every season picking up a wage spending there time out injured !

 

[WestyReturns]

shame we didn’t get rid earlier and got a few grand - didn’t Scunny offer £5K ?

Would of just gone in Ron's expenses for dinner one night.

You must spend fortunes on petrol Steve!

No surprise really. Seems like a very early decision made from management assuming all goes well with a takeover.

Wreh to stay another year possibly?

I reckon they'll release him but I still think there's a player there. Made a decent contribution in the limited match minutes he had.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

An intelligent player and a really nice bloke. Wasn't his fault one of his ex team mates made him a target which started a long spell on the sidelines.

He would always spend lots of time talking to people at JB events, when some players couldn't wait to get away. Also remember him clearly at Bromley warming up on the touchline in front of the Bromley fans and protecting a young fan from a fast moving ball heading straight for her. Little things like that go a long way in this world, and I wish him all the very best.

Spot on it’s was a shame, if his ex team mate didn’t target him in January 2022, he would end up with 20 plus goals in the league for us that season.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Good luck to the scarecrow (out standing in his field), if he can keep away from any more nasty injuries he'll get you 20 goals per season.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Wish him well, seemed to be a really good influence and full of encouragment for his team mates.

Sadly injuries have meant that we never saw him at his best.

 

[henry18]

Shame as I liked Murphy, must be such a horrible striker to play against. Injuries really did hamper him here and I wish him well for the future.

No doubt a top earner at the club and the management team wouldn’t want him in the physio room for 3/4 of the season again.

Good luck Rhys go smash them goals in at Yeovil

 

[Mad Cyril]

Was on a bonkers salary.. the least biggest surprise of the summer

What's bonkers?

I am surprised he didn’t move to Chelmsford City, they must be one of the favourites to go up.

 

[amsemp]

Gutted for him and us that he was so plagued with injuries in his time here. The times I saw him I thought he was brilliant. An absolute ****house who knew this league inside out and knew where the onion bag was.

Right decision to let him go though. Hope he stays injury free now and gets Yeovil back up next season.

 

[monkwell]

I can't agree with all the 'Good riddance' statements - he showed moments of brilliance and is high class at this level (and good for the youth). Best of luck Rhys!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Interesting to see from the Echo that Kev wanted him to stay
