Murty wants to stay

How did he play last night? Could be a useful addition to the squad with his experience at this level, which will also release Lloyd James into a more advanced role in right or centre midfield!!

 

I was a bit unsure before yesterday but after seeing him play, especially in that first half, he was solid and very vocal, he could definitely do a job for us next season. A bit of work on his fitness wouldn't do him any harm, but yeah, he is the sort of physical, loud player we are going to need this season. Certainly would be a useful addition.

I agree, he stood out in a very poor team last night.

Used to work in Reading and he is seen as a bit of a legend there - similar to Franny Benali for us I suppose - workhorse who will always give his all whilst not necessarily being that good (sorry Franny! Although I've never forgiven you for that hat-trick you scored against Weston Park in '84!)

This doesn't equate to the OS report, where he is quoted as saying he doesn't know where he will end up, and he's keeping an open mind, and he apprecaites Saints giving him the opportunity to train with them whilst his agent sorts things out.

 

Polegate, later report quotes him saying he would like to stay with us, that we've made him feel welcome etc.

 

As I work by the Madejski, I see his testimonial is next Monday evening (21st). Thinking I may work late and walk over to see him play (I'm assuming they will give him some pitch time). By next Monday he may have signed a contract and be a Saint. Anyone else coming up?

Would be more than happy for Murty to sign a contract here. His experience and ability will be very useful for us in League One, and he's a natural leader both on and off the pitch, something we've been missing for a long time.

Well, at least we now know why Murty is training with us....

 

Pardew started at Reading in March 1998 (as caretaker manager) and Murty was one of his first signings that summer.

 

Yes but Wotte brought him in just a coincidence
