Newcastle will look to tie up a deal with Crewe's Luke Murphy sooner rather than later, offering, as a sweetener, another loan spell for Brad Inmann who is enjoying a fabulous time with the Railwayman.
Where exactly did you hear this? I'm just curious as I am surprised we would be interested in a 23 year old who has played 157 times for crewe without attracting a significant amount of interest and has never won any honours as a player eg: league one young player of the year. Especially because Nick Powell and Ashley Westwood were both signed from Crewe recently so a lot of teams would've seen Murphy play without being particularly impressed, and Westwood certainly hasn't been much of a stand out player for Villa this year.
There manager said he's more of a prospect than westwood, could just be trying to push the price up though
Max Clayton is a quality player {Ed001's Note - Luke Murphy has been of significant interest to a number of clubs, he just had a poor time with injuries.}
They can keep bradden inman - not that he isn't good, its just he's the type of deadwood we need to get rid of, he will flourish at the likes of crewe but isn't and I doubt he ever can be a premier league quality player.
