Murdock Signed
 

We have signed a defender called Colin Murdock. He'd been released from Shrewsbury. He's 32 so not too old and a big lad.
Apparently Darran Kempson will not be joining us as there would be a fee involved that we're not prepared to pay.

See Accrington Observer.

Re: Murdock Signed
 

long as hes got a good kick on him he will do

Re: Murdock Signed
 

hes also plays on the left which coley says is good and he is over 6ft which will please some people on here after that BIG defender also says mark roberts has signed for northwhich

Re: Murdock Signed
 

quote from Observer ...." he's the big tall lad we've been after to head and kick the ball a long way" or words to that effect anyway.

Played a load of games for Preston I think?

Re: Murdock Signed
 

Not a bad signing, ex international who's been around a few good clubs (man u, preston, hibs) so there is plenty of league experience which is something i feel we have been missing in defence since we came back up, also use to be club captain at crewe. Good start, now some more please :)

Re: Murdock Signed
 

Funny how things turn out spotted him before last Season as being available from Rotherham:rolleyes:

A very good addition to the squad:alright:

Re: Murdock Signed
 

If he's ewt like he was at north end, he will be a fantastic signing!!

He was a great player and scored a few important goals for the club and played a massive part not only in the Division 2 championship in 2000 but also reaching the play off final vs Bolton in the 2000/2001 season, a big lad good at heading and never let his temper flare in tough situations.

For me this is worth the £208 I've shelled out

:jimbo:

Re: Murdock Signed
 

Well, I've just been talking with a Shrewsbury fan friend of mine and he reckons that Murdock will win a fair number of headers.........

......but he has no pace and he loves to kick off with opposition forwards.
Overall he was described as 'disappointing' and that Rotherham fans had told him the same thing when Shrewsbury signed him.

Sounds great when he's teamed up with Rocky at the back ;)

This is an insight into Shrewsbury fans' views:

Re: Murdock Signed
 

They don't seem to like him much, do they? :eek:

Re: Murdock Signed
 

nout wrong with rocky he will be a better player next season
rocky, cav, leam, edwards plus some more defenders at the back its looking good

Re: Murdock Signed
 

wow,:eek::eek::eek: they dont like Murdock or Kemps much do they, like how they all say put Kemps on the transfer list and wait for us to come with a ££££££ offer:p, if only they knew;):D

Re: Murdock Signed
 

So you'd play all 4 plus some more defenders eh? Maybe between all those they might get something right? :D

Re: Murdock Signed
 

yeh they will than people on here will have to find other things to moan about what next the midfield is crap and we should get rip of all them aswell:rolleyes:
