David Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think young Jamie will be off in the summer, and following the rumoured amount accepted by our board during the January window, I was wondering how much you think he's worth? What would you consider to be an acceptable offer for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 IMHO no less than half a million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've went for £750,000 to £1 million. My thinking is that he'll likely head down south, and when you think of the prices that are paid for players who have played in the lower leagues there, Murphy is worth at least £750,000.

underboyleheating Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 We are unlikely to get any more than £250,000 - £500,000. When it comes to strikers Jamie is a bit on the lightweight side. With a bit more muscle on that skinny frame, he potentially could be worth a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roly Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 It depends on how the rest of our season goes. McCall spoken on numerous occasions about his breif of top six and sell a player. We are a selling club. We made a healthy profit last term. That would manly have been down to the cup run. If we can repeat the feat or finish second in the league we don't need to look at breaking up whats been a fairly settled squad over the past couple of seasons. I'd be testing the waters with him for a year extension to his contract. This means we don't run the risk of losing him for buttons or heehaw further down the line and if someone does come in for him over the summer we can look at opening the bidding around £1M. I don't see us getting much more than £500,000 for him. He's too powderpuff for the championship and definetly not EPL standard yet, pehaps we could get a few add-ons on a deal like that too.

Martin Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Would be happy with ~400k which is fairly realistic I think, Although with the money flying about doon south we should maybe be getting a good bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzer Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The club would accept anything from 100K, at this stage he is worth around 200/250k Max, judging on prices for players in and around his (as yet unproven)) ability. He is scoring goals in the SPL, unless he is scoring 20/25 goals a season in the SPL his value wont really increase due to the level of football played in the SPL. OJ would be worth much more, as it stands CURRENTLY.... in the price market pureley because he has played in other Leagues, not really scored any goals as such, then he lands in the SPL and becomes a goal scorer (Coincidence) or fact. SPL would be compared to lower half League 1, in parts, give or take the odd couple of teams. Would love to get 300/500k for him, but my feeling is that we would sell at much lower.

Gaag Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'd let him go for antyhing on or above £250k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 He is scoring goals in the SPL, unless he is scoring 20/25 goals a season in the SPL his value wont really increase due to the level of football played in the SPL. Since when has a winger been judged on the amount of goals he scores alone? And there have been many SPL goalscorers that have failed to hit 25+ goals a season that have gone on to do well in England. No one would argue that Steven Fletcher is probably the best former SPL striker at this moment in time. Yet he had no where near (according to you) a good enough strike rate (3.6279 games per goal scored) and ohis highest ever season total being 13 leagues goals in the SPL - although could see him breaking that this season I think in later life, Murphy will thank McCall for not playing him as a striker. As he isn't one/ As for the thread - If we end third, get Champions League Quals (certain 4 games in Europe_ and at least Semi Finals of the Scottish Cup I will be disappointed if we sell for less than £400K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 For a young player that's played at a decent standard his entire career, has excellent pace, good technique, can play in a number of positions, is an U21 international with a good record at that level and has scored double figures in the last three seasons despite generally not playing as an out and out striker - well I don't think it's unreasonable to start the bidding at a minimum of £500,000. Sadly, I think Jamie Murphy will be sold massively under his true worth just to get cash into the club. I understand the club was letting fans know what our financial situation was and is, but perhaps in retrospect it wasn't a smart move to public announce that we have to sell a player in the next window. Automatically from a bargaining position it devalues our player assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 As much as he seems to be a purple patch player, I wouldn't accept less than £500,000 for him. He has the raw attributes to be a fantastic player, he just needs to display them on a more consistent basis. He has hit double figures in goals for three years running, which isn't bad for being 22. He has only played a handful, if that games upfront this season. 12 goals by February is a very good return for a winger. Also, I don't know what is the catalyst for this, but he seems to have played far better since moving to the right of midfield. What he goes for isn't neccesarily his worth, today's market is inflated and we need to make sure we don't get shafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdalli10 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 we got 850k for clarkson? I'd be looking for similar. While were at it 3 million plus for randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Went for £1million Minimum.... but that would drop down to £800k depending on form and consistency. On form, in a good season, scoring goals and setting them up (which for me has been this season) I'd want around £1.2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 300k plus add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthebasement Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 We are a selling club and need to do regular business, that has an impact on what we can command. That said, think Murphy is a 1-1.5m prospect and we should really get that for the work we have put in, and also because of the players willingness to hold out for the right move rather than bolt at the first rise.

Orinoco Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 get him to sign an extension to his contract. It's pointless us putting a value on him, as the club will punt him at the first offer. Given the amount of time he's been at the club, could be 10-12 years, i would hope we are more than suitably compensated for his developement. say £50k - £100k for each year aint unreasonable.

texanwellfan Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I agree that we are a selling club but if we can get second place or if we qualify for champions league by default it may require some re thinking by players and baord alike... 1. Do the players want to move and miss out on champions league? 2. Will we make enough money through our league poisiton fonish and being in europe to put us in the position where we do not have to sell a player at the end of this season? Based on our successful season and in anticipation of european soccer next season I hope we can hang onto our curent players ( Murphy included ) till we are out of europe but of course still be able to allow them to move on to bigger things ( perhaps in the Jnauary window? ) for decent transfer fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamH Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 At the moment we ahould be looking for £500,000 plus add-ons minimum. If we finish second and win the SC then we should look for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-in-Oz Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Any English clubs looking to buy him will judge him on his performances against the bigger teams (old firm) & unfortunately in these games it's easier to find Shergar than Murphy. Needs to stand up & be counted more in the big games to warrant anything over 300k to be a valuable asset to a Championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
