We probably view him as a McAteer replacement. Pompey fans seem to love him, plenty regard him as their best player, some say they shouldn’t entertain offers under £10 million. If we whacked £10 million on Josh Murphy, they’d be quite the uproar, when that kind of fee should be going on a striker or central midfielder. He had a very good 24/25 season where he was one of the best wingers in the Championship, if he came and replicated somewhere near his assist output from last season, we’d probably end up loving him. But if we can’t get him in that £3-5 million price bracket, then sack it off and move on.

🎵 Chabane, Chabane, oh baby when he moves, he moves🎵

As I posted on the Twitter thread, going off some comments he seems to be a workrate machine, who will help out on the defensive end, those comments coincide with his defensive statistics. We are crying out for a striker who can press, he could well be the right fit in that regard.

Don’t know too much about him apart from seeing him score in the Champions League. But going off these comments, he is a workrate machine.

DataMB, their performance index is based on the following statistics. Saletros ranks highly for progressive passes and forward passes, his defensive data is not too shabby either 👍🏻

Leadership qualities ☑️ Progressive Passing ability ☑️ Defensive ability ☑️ Of midfielders in the Allsvenskan, he currently ranks 4th on the performance index, the three names above him I wouldn’t mind at Leicester City tbf.

He caught my attention back in 2023 when he looked like one of the better striker prospects in Sweden. Since then I’ve been waiting for him to have a proper breakout, 10+ goals in a season for example, but it hasn’t quite materialised. 4 goals in 18 so far this season, but he’s featured off the bench for the majority of the past 10-12 games. Of course Marti knows him and he has certain attributes that we definitely need, is he starting 11 calibre though, that’s the question mark I’d have if it was him who joined. Wyscout did a mini piece on him earlier this year https://www.hudl.com/blog/5-breakout-scandinavian-talents-2025

Vast improvement defensively in the past few games, some of his defensive stats in league games according to FotMob… Sheff Wed Defensive Contributions - 1 Recoveries - 3 Preston Defensive Contributions - 1 Recoveries - 3 Charlton Defensive Contributions - 7 Recoveries - 5 Birmingham Defensive Contributions - 6 Recoveries - 10 Fingers crossed he keeps this up.

Gerrimin!

Oli Skipp according to Sofascore Tackles - 4(Most of any of our players) Duels Won - 6/6 Ground Duels Won - 4/4

Possessions won tonight - 10 Who’s this new version of Soumare.

Job done, now…

He should be off but who gives a shit

El Khannouss changing his Instagram pic to black again 🤔

Ayew’s half-hearted attempt to press is so depressing to watch.

Well, that was more convincing 🙈 Rybakina’s groundstrokes too hot to handle for Raducanu.

So according to Pete Josh Murphy is gonna whip in crosses for 6ft4 Fally Mayulu Dyche Marti ball gonna cook 🔥

That’s where 5ft9 William Boving comes into the picture

Not to worry, Patrick Bamford has just become a free agent

This time last week, we ranked 1st for the most crosses in the Championship this season. 2nd most crosses in the Championship last season…Josh Murphy. 🔮 Bang this in tier 1

My local Turkish Barber on Narborough Road told me that we’re going for a double Pompey swoop of Josh Murphy and Colby Bishop 👍🏻

And that’s exactly what I’m pointing out, FBRef’s “Scouting Reports” will only show his Champions League data. You know full well for certain leagues that FBRef only do standard statistics. Plus these data websites have a habit of operating differently, Wyscout for example analyse their assist data differently to FBRef and others for example. DataMB gives you a better full scale picture, FBRef doesn’t do that for the Austrian Bundesliga for example. But of course everybody has their preferences and who they trust more, but I honestly wouldn’t bother using FBRef, I’d only use it for the leagues they give full scale reports on, like the European top five leagues and The Championship 👍🏻

Because those FBRef stats only consist of Champions League data, not Austrian Bundesliga data which I’ve compared him with. Plus FBRef lists him as an attacking midfielder/winger, which will make certain metrics even more skewed. As you mentioned his assist statistics to Ric, this is what he compared with other Austrian Bundesliga strikers last season.

DataMB who use Wyscout’s statistics 👍🏻

His main stats from last season.
