Heard a rumour
Signed a new three year contract.
However has a release clause he can activate if he doesn't get 15 games.
Not sure what that says about Joe Murphy, if anything

When does that release clause kick in then?
Would be 15 games a season surely? Wouldn't make sense otherwise. If true, I think Murphy is going and a cheaper keeper will come in as competition for Burge
so, Pressley doesnt like loans, angry at the Akpom / donnelly saga
and yet signs a keeper where he has to pay him for at least 15 games
:thinking about:
To be fair he doesn't have to play him. If he doesn't then next summer Lee can activate the release clause, if he wants to.
Makes sense both ways to me
It doesn't make sense to me, JM goes, LB plays 15 games through necessity, had an absolute mate then automatically had another year.
Every team has 1 first choice keeper and 2 second choice keeper, plus some also have a third choice.
2nd choice keepers only play if the first choice is injured suspended or in horrendous form. That means there are at least 92 keepers that probably play no more than an average of 3-4 games per season if that. All teams need a 2nd choice keeper, preferably one that can put the number 1 keeper under pressure.
If JM stays then there's nothing stopping LB to ask for a loan move, or transfer, or for the club to sell him, or cancel his contract under mutual consent. Although I'm sure LB wants to play a 3 year deal and employment is more beneficial to him that not meeting his appearance clause target (if 1 year) getting released and going to another lower or even non league team and potentially still being second choice.
A clause like that (15 apps in 1 season) makes no sense for a keeper especially a second choice one that will have limited opportunities to feature.

Is see your Logic .
I predict a solution for the third choice and possibly second choice should It all go tits .
Jordan Clarke ..
I wonder if Murphy knows this yet?

Raimond van de Gouw made just 37 apps in 6 years at united.
Sorry but just can't see them inserting such a clause into a players contract who has yet to even make a first team appearance.

Apparently he's an avid reader of this forum so he does now!!
Re the first paragraph, he will actually get another 2 years.
Re re second paragraph, yes they do ( apart from us)
Re the third paragraph, yes they do but if the first choice keeper has not decided yes or no re a new contract. Your second choice has bags of potential and you do not want to lose them. You are on a tight budget. You want to keep the first choice, however if he goes, second choice might be the best you can actually get.
4th paragraph, nothing to stop him doing that now and JM doing the same and we need to find two new keepers of that standard.
5th paragraph, makes sense to convince him to sign. JM goes he gets at least 15 games to prove himself and get a three year contract.
JM stays he gets to sit and try another season to force the issue ( Joe hart - Shay Given)
If that fails he can move in in the summer and try and reignite his career elsewhere.
Last paragraph what was RVG's pay and what drove him at that stage of his career? Now contrast that to LB.
Sorry but as you have seen from my posting history I am not a fan of most of SISU's decision making,This one they have got it spot on, credit where credit is due
Lets see what next week brings.....,
Is it looking like the lad will be number one choice?
However this two matched really do look like a first and second 11
Apologies, have seen neither play so interested in your opinion - however I don't understand what this means. Could you expand?
