Is he an improvement on what we have in that position? If the answer is yes, then yes!

Of course he is. We have no out and out winger with any quality 

[Floppy Sausage]

Would be a vast improvement on what we have and prob better than anything we are likely to sign permanently. But as always, we will duck about too long and he will go to Middlesborough.

I would like to see 4-3-3 with three very pacey forwards.

Wouldn't we all lol , every fan wants that for their team , realistically though mel overspent for previous managers and it didn't work out and I feel like money is going to be tight for a considerable time so loans and the odd free transfer maybe. Hopefully I'm wrong though

Can’t believe there’s resistance to this. When you break it down you see it’s the exact sort of signing we need to make.

Fills a huge need: we don’t have much pace in the team and don’t have enough natural wingers. Even if you prefer an inverted forward type on the wing, surely you can see the need for having more balance in the squad. In my eyes, you need a blend of Murphy types and Lawrence types. FWIW I think Holmes is far better down the middle, would rather be competed to play 10 with Sibley.

Ideal situation: surplus to requirements at Newcastle, still only 24 and only has one year left on his contract. This is where you can find value in the Championship, taking on talented players when their value is at its lowest. We did it with Ince and Martin to great effect. There’s a really good best case scenario here, which is Murphy performs well enough that we secure him for a bargain. Could arrange a lowered loan to buy fee because he’s only got one year left on his contract or pick him up for free when it runs out.

Improves on what we’ve got: the only comparable player we have is Jozefzoon who’s barely played 90 minutes since the start of the year. Enough said.

It’s a no brainer and the first rumour that’s excited me. Hope there’s something to the story.

There’s about four clubs in for him, it’ll all come down to who coughs up the most brass! 

Darn.

Not playing under Cocu and alongside Rooney then? For the mighty, mighty Derby. ?

Someone speaking sense on here for once. 

[B4ev6is]

I think it would be a good signing for us even if on season long loan view to permeant deal at the end.

[Shuff264]

Not sure what the knew obsession on this forum with "inside forwards" is (aside from waghorn we play more inverted wingers that inside forwards)

It's not exactly a new concept in football or even Derby.

Inverted wingers have evolved to be the norm in football as the game has shifted from crosses being the most dangerous type of attack to the through ball being dominant

Think Murphy could be a good bit of business, we're clearly desperate for more on the right wing

[gccrowdpleaser]

Would assume a deal could be done in relation to wages as Wednesday were able to afford him last season.

In reality this one will come down to the lad himself and which manager he wants to play for.

Back to Weds with Monk who he has thanked for building his confidence?

To Derby with all the uncertainty but a manager who has shown he will give young players a go - similar to Norwich the season they went up with younger players coming through.

To Forest...counter attacking style that would suit his pace. Unpredictable selection has been one criticism of Lamouchi. 

Boro - to play for Warnock who signed his brother for Cardiff.

We have a chance but I see him goinf back to Sheffield Wednesday. 

[MackworthRamIsGod]

It really would be a good signing and shows intent, I hope we can pull it off.

[BatRam]

Recon we could swap jozefzoon for him ??

Lawrence is more of an inside forward than an inverted winger. His primary focus is to cut inside and get a shot away. Players like Dawkins was more of an inverted winger as he would cut inside and link play instead of looking for goal.

I really am not as schooled as many on here about the science of 433 442 4231

I really wouldn't worry about that, formations are fluid and certainly change when you've got or haven't got the ball. Anyone who focusses too much on these probably doesn't know what they're talking about.

[JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta]

This would be a big improvement on our current personel in that position. I'm all for it.

[cheron85]

Is he better than Bennett and Josefzoon?

Oh wait yes... He definitely is... About a million times better

Yes please
