Alex Murphy

And he has to build on what he has as well.

We have to at least fill a right winger, a young centre-back, a number 10, you boys mentioned as well, and a left-back to cover unless we're bringing Alex Murphy back.

What a man.

To

I would just think like, well, if the senior team, you know, if you look at some of the weaknesses, maybe we still don't have a reliable fullback on the left-hand side.

So possibly Alex Murphy, you know, he's gone out on loan from Newcastle to Kaiserslautern.

Just as a random stat, there's only two Irish players who've appeared in the Champions League this who haven't been capped at senior level yet, and the other being Owen O'Connell, recently of Wrexham, and cousin of former Ireland rugby player Paul O'Connell.

Just looking at the midfield players, there's a lot of discussion around Manchester United's Jacob Devaney, who's currently out on loan in Scotland, and similarly Rory Finneran of Newcastle, currently out on loan as well.

Goalkeepers, Noah Jani.

Marcus Gill, Owen Mason, defenders, Sam Curtis, Sean Grehan, Cothell McCarthy, Conor McManus, Alex Murphy, David Agbui, midfielders, Romy Wakanchukwu, Adam Brennan, Jacob Devaney, Roy Finneran, Darius Lupicic, Oisín Gallagher, Grady McDonald, Jamie Mullins, Fords, Leon E. Endy, Trent Coney Doherty, Tommy Lonergan, Michael Noonan and Cian McMahon-Brown.

So yeah, it's a really strong squad.

A lot of lads out to injury.

So it's a proud moment for that club.

So fair play to them.

Defenders wise, it's Sam Curtis, Sean Grehan, Colin McCarthy, Conor McManus, Alex Murphy, David Agbui.

Not that many defenders named Martin quite light in terms of defenders numbers.

But yeah, he's doing really well.

And Selma Garcia was probably thinking in Germany that we had an all-Irish derby between himself and Alex Murphy.

Alex Murphy is at Kaiserslautern on note for the season.

And the two of them both started up against each other in fairness, obviously, and Selma won in the end.

So a good win for Magdeburg, who probably are going to be pushing for promotion this season.

Oh, no, they're gone on loans, aren't they? They're gone on loans.

Alex Murphy's gone on loan.

They loaned out Nick Voltemar, which I didn't like.

I, I, I would've wanted to see him stay around.

Hmm.

And people can say what they want about John Caulfield, but his model and that model works, okay? The, they exported, obviously, um, Alex Murphy, wasn't it, to Newcastle-

Hmm

... am I correct in saying?

and they had to depend on two late goals from two new signings.

That's Alex Murphy, who impressed hugely for the duration, and substitute striker Colm Doyle, who just came on in the latter stages.

He got a late tap-in for the third.

But while the win was comfortable, credit St. Bernard's, they were probably on the back foot for the majority of the game, but they defended well throughout and I suppose can be pleased they're newly promoted as championship winners last season.

if given if you give chance to young players in the League of Ireland you'll see exactly what they can bring to your club exactly what Johnny's done and I'm delighted for kind of all parties this kind of move has kind of been put out but I'll put out a tweet, Martin, just because obviously the transfers are saying the winners and losers.

Aaron says the winners, Parrott, Finneran, Bazunu, Alex Murphy, Smodics, losers, Jacob Bryan, Jack Taylor, Festy, Will Ferry, one of the lads, 6 out of 10, winners, Danny McNamara, Mark Sykes, Teodora Molo, Jack Moylan, losers, Alan Brown, Will Ferry, Killian Phillips, all the free agents.

Three agents, in fairness, Will Smallwood looks like he could end up at Blackburn.

So, in terms of losers, who does this fella have? A lad actually put a load of good names.
