It has been reported in the last 2 days that Mr Lennon is looking at both these players, and my question to you fellow fans is who would you rather we signed?
Goodwillie is a 22 year old striker who plays for dundee utd. In the last 2 seasons in all comps he played 74 games scoring scoring 34 goals and making 12 assists. He would cost around 2 million.
Murphy is a 21 year old forward who can also play wide midfield. In the last 2 seasons in all comps he has played 63 games scoring 15 goals and making 4 assists. He would cost 1 million
the stats say that Goodwillie would be the better choice but Murphy can play on both wings and as a striker, he is also half the price.
I think both are good players with Goodwillie slightly better however if neil Lennon is looking to buy some young Scottish talent from the Spl i would prefer it to be young Templeton at Hearts.
but hey its all about opinions and id love to hear yours. Bears you are welcome too as you have also been linked with them.
Murphy or Goodwillie

mordor - not cup tied for champ league. Not sure bout europa.
I would take any of the 3 young scots mentioned. All outstanding talents.

"a technically gifted European centre forward like big Jellyfish."
Sorry mate, but I strongly disagree with that interpretation. The only accurate part was the 'European' assignation.

Templeton is the poorest of the three mentioned, and he's coming up for 23 aswell.
Goodwillie is a good player, but for the baggage he carries £2million is over priced.
I'd happily take Murphy for £1million. Best of all three players, and he's the youngest.
I was asking during the pre-season if we should have gone for John Sutton who is now at Hearts. But if we're being honest Daryl Murphy would probably get the same amount of goals as Sutton would if he were at another SPL team.
If we're talking about goals here, then Stokes was a steal at £800,000! Much better scoring record than anyone in the SPL and he's still quite young aswell.
Don't buy into all the hype around the other players. The scottish media will talk them up as much as possible because they are scottish, which is fine. It happens in every country.
Wouldnt be gutted if we brought in Murphy from Motherwell for £1million. But I'd rather we went and spent a decent amount on a quality striker just now. Not one with potential.

Cheers IE.
Yous are only 1 down mate,all is not lost.We had the same with Dynamo-so if a Mowbray team can win away then I'm sure your lot can do it.
But please don't take offence to us slating McCoist-he is due a wee bit more as well.

not in a million years would i touch goodwillie...
I actually know some people with very close utd ties and have 'some' info on him and i wouldnt want him near CP.
guy is a complete liability..whether he gets knuckles rapped just now from the court is irrelevent...
he will always court media attention for all the wrong reasons.
100% want rangers to sign this guy...purely for the comedy moments that will always pop up.
would have stokesy all day long, every day of the year over the thick cant fae utd.
