Murphy has a year remaining on his contract so he will not be going anywhere, particularly at his age.

If he is used sparingly as a third choice, impact sub type of player he will be useful to have around; if we are relying on a regular contribution we are in trouble.

I would have though that Grabben's omission from the side related to his injury problems; I certainly hope so or we have another good player on a high wage, sidelined due to non footballing reasons.

Another player who we cannot move on because other clubs cannot or will not match the wage he is on.

I was hoping a Director of Football would put an end to this carry on and insist managers use the players at their disposal, particularly when this specific player has just scored 16 goals in 39 appearances.

Notwithstanding that, we certainly need another decent forward if we have any designs on promotion.

If Karim goes, we will be looking for three new strikers, Murphy is done and not even good for a 10 minute cameo appearance (pls refer to the last games when he came on as a sub and you see what I mean), and Grabbans attitude especially in the post January doesnt give me too much confidence, carrying an injury or not, he seemed like a player with no position and playing as it pleases him ...infact in the two 60 minute performances that Karim played, he was better then Grabbans last 3 or four months. Grabban started slowly (in fact many were saying that we wasted money on him), then he had a good spell were he scored the majority of his goals and then (including the time lost due to injury) he was mostly a passenger jogging around ...
