Much as i trust what Rafa's doing, this purchase was a head-scratcher at the time and now actually looks like a mistake. The whole world knew we needed a striker-if we'd spent £17 million (Murphy's fee plus Joselu) you'd like to think we'd have someone who could actually hit the target. Rafa wanted Murphy so I'm sure he'll come good but currently he's not fit for purpose...and neither is our strikeforce.
