Very happy this one is over the line as we desperately needed a proven striker at this level.

We need at least another 2 proven strikers at this level too

Welcome Rhys,

Excellent signing and boy how we have been waiting to sign a striker with a proven goal scoring record.

phew , at last !

 

[sufc4life21]

Very happy with this signing, goalscorer at national league level! Can see him getting 15 plus goals for sufc.

 

[Oakley1]

has a proven goal scoring record at this level, lets hope we can get another one signed up ASAP 3 would be a great achievement

seems Brown is bringing in a few experienced players for this level which will be needed to help the youngsters as they progress, could be a very interesting season

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Great signing but he can't do it alone. We need another frontman but I'm sure PB is working on this. No doubt someone will moan cos he's over 30, but hey. Welcome Rhys!!

 

[kentblues]

Better than a goal every two games in NL over the last two seasons.
Actually 1 in every 3 at L2 level so could certainly do it there as well.
Decent signing.

 

[Strykr]

Jolly good, 2 more goalscorers please phil.

Now this is a good signing, if we can keep him fit I think he can get 15 plus goals for us, seen him play a few times, also has that get stuck in and chase a lost cause ball, fans will take to him straight away.

 

[Barry.C]

Excellent news, welcome Rhys, wishing you every success as a Shrimper

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Great signing. Could do with a strong player to play alongside him.

 

[ShrimperStats]

Very happy with this one. Statistically Murphy’s been one of the best strikers in the NL per 90 mins over the last two seasons. Obviously there are a few doubts over whether he’ll be available for every game, but if he had been we probably wouldn’t have been able to sign such a clinical striker.

From looking at the goals he’s scored for Yeovil, most have been from either through balls on the counter attack or finding space in the box. Hopefully we sign a target man to partner him, and he should hopefully do well.

Out of possession Yeovil have a similar high-intensity style to us, so there shouldn’t be any problem adjusting to that side of our style.

Looking at the footage doing the rounds it looks like goalkeepers at this level are terrible at positioning and Murphy takes full advantage of this. Long may it continue (in our favour)

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Good signing but we must play to his strengths and I worry our style won't suit him. Hope I'm proved wrong as he could do very well if used correctly

Must have the BMW for a full house though

 

[Mad Cyril]

Rhys is the word.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Has played alongside tall strikers at Yeovil, interesting to see if Brown tries to get a Barry Coor type player in, someone who can create space for Murphy or if he goes down the 4-3-3 route and has Akinola and ANG out wide.
