Norwich have struggled of late so that's probably affected his game.

He did well for us in a Dougie team that was set up not to concede.

I'm with Paplane on this.

That's exactly my take on the situation.

He did well he was here before in a very dull and ultra defensive set up.

Be interesting to see what he could do in an attacking set up.

Although I would be far from happy if he was the only striker we bought in.

I want Grabban too.

I'll probably get laughed at for this but I'd make a big play for Peter Crouch absolute menace at this level I reckon even at 37 if you could off load Murphy and get Crouch....

Mind you saying that maybe Murphy after a summer off get that world cup crap out his system comes back in the summer how he started last year, if he did he's still a good impact player from the bench

Season 3 for Ben as well, very hard season 2 for a kid his age, now he comes back knowing exactly what standard is required and that a poor season this season puts his whole career on the slide now that's the type of motivation that can match what we saw when he first broke into the team and still saw plenty of glimpses of last season. No matter who we sign up front they have no guarantee that Ben is going to just warm the bench

BB will be pushing who ever comes in for that starting spot hes going to want to play . Get him on the defenders shoulder and running the channels with Lolley and 2 benfica lads we attack with pace now . A good preseason and he will be ready

Last couple of years I would have snapped your hand off if you offered me Oliviera but now with money to spend and a new sense of optimism am I being greedy in wanting someone better and more prolific?

Really!!! That's very harsh. Yes I was very disappointed in him towards the end of last season but his goals may have kept us up. Professional footballer or not personal problems can derail anyone. I wouldn't like him to start next season but I wish him the best.

Murphy was pretty much on strike

Would be pretty underwhelmed with Olivera to be honest. Just my opinion but often though he flattered to deceive. Also let his head go down far too easily. With the money we reportedly have I’d hope we could bring in a more complete forward with a physical presence who can bring others into play while banging in the goals as well.....

Wasn't Murphy having an issue with Karanka over training?

I seem to remember something about Murphy didn't have to train everyday when Warbs was in charge but when Karanka arrived that arrangement was scrapped and Karanka told him he must train everyday like everyone else and Murphy took offence to that. 

If this is true then I am standing with Karanka on this issue.

Must be terrible getting paid all that money and be expected to actually train as well.
Just how does he get out of bed in the morning having to face that.
Poor guy.

Maybe we should all rally round and give him some real support. :dodgy:
