QPR ‘tried to hijack Murphy’s move to Blackburn’
QPR made a lateĀ attempt to hijack Danny Murphy’s move to Blackburn, according to The Lancashire Telegraph.
It is claimed that Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes sanctioned a last-minute improved offer to the 35-year-old, who is leaving Fulham on a Bosman free transfer.
Rovers’ new supremo Shebby Singh is said to have responded in kind to complete the deal.
Murphy is believed to have agreed a two-year contract at Ewood Park.

I do not know why Mark Hughes insists on bringing a whole lot of players that he managed years ago. Maybe they were at that time good players but now most of them have over 32 years of age and would be held by their current clubs if they were still good.
How about some younger ones, Moses for example. I know that prices dictate new contracts but better off one or two new players at a higher price than a lot of useless older ones. I am affraid that we do not make the sam misstake as last year.
Come on Tony š

Two years Contract is going too far for a 35 year old, who lasted less than2/3 of a game last season, so is not going to improve on that next season in the Premier League.
To step down a Division might increase his likelihood of lasting 2 years.
