Just days after being an
unused sub in Queen’s Park Rangers 1-0 win over Derby County in the Championship
Play-off Final at Wembley, Waterford man Brian Murphy could be set to leave the
Loftus Road Club or drop down the pecking order for a place between the posts
at the club.
The Waterford man provided
back up to former England International Goalkeeper Rob Green this season, after
manager Harry Redknapp decided to leave Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar leave
the club on loan joining MLS side Toronto FC in February and is not believed to
be looking for an experienced back up player to Green ahead of the clubs return
to the Premier League.
The Irish Sun are reporting
today that Redknapp is going to have Republic of Ireland international
goalkeeper David Forde scouted this evening in the game between the Republic of
Ireland and Italy.
However, with Crystal Palace
also believed to be scouting the Irish man this evening, should the 34 year old
whose contract with Millwall expires this summer decide not to take up the
offer of a new contact with the club, he could have a number of offers on the
table to decide on.
With Forde looking to keep
his place as Martin O’Neill’s number one in the Euro 2016 campaign in the
autumn, a move to the Selhurst Park Club could prove to be a better move.
Forde could be forced to be
back up to Greene at Loftus Road but with Julian Speroni’s contact at Palace
set to run out this summer, should be decide on a fresh challenge, Forde could
find himself wearing the number one shirt at Selhurst Park next season should
he join Tony Pulis charges, with Wayne Hennessey proving back up.
