Murphy in Celtic talks

south

Sunderland were today awaiting developments on striker Daryl Murphy's proposed move to Celtic.

The clubs have agreed terms and the 27-year-old was last night given permission to talk to the Glasgow giants.

Black Cats assistant boss Eric Black said today: "The clubs have agreed terms, it is now down to the player.

"He has been given permission to go and speak to them, which I think he was doing last night.

"We should have an update on that today, with a bit of luck."

Irish international Murphy, who joined the Wearsiders in a £100,000 move from Waterford in June 2005, has struggled to command a regular place at the Stadium of Light in recent seasons, particularly under new boss Steve Bruce.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich, where he scored six goals in 18 appearances.

Murphy is one of a number of players surplus to requirements at Sunderland as Bruce attempts to re-shape his squad for the new campaign.


could be a very big move for him and i'd be very suprised if it was to go through. it would be good news for waterford united if it does happen

Great news. Glad for him. Hopefully he starts banging in the goals and gets himself back on an Ireland teamsheet.

Is there a deal there that would give Waterford a cut of the transfer fee?

Shows the fall of the once mighty pull of Celtic and Scotland but delighted for him.

Best player I ever played against ( before our Monday games ) next to Noel Hunt.
