Murphy: Town Should Be Doing Better - Ipswich Town News

New signing Daryl Murphy says the Blues should be in a far better league position given the players that are at the club. The Irish international joined the Blues on loan until the end of the season from Sunderland along with David Healy on Monday.

Murphy told the club site: "Ipswich should be in a much better position than they are at the moment with the players they have here.

"I know a lot of the lads and not just the Sunderland ones. I've played with or against Owen Garvan, Damien Delaney, Jon Stead, Brian Murphy and a few of the others and they are all good footballers.

"I'm come here to play football and help Ipswich move up the table and I'm looking forward to it.

"I've not played anywhere near the games I would have liked at Sunderland recently so the chance to do that at Ipswich made it an easy decision for me to come here."

Murphy says he is again looking forward to working with Roy Keane: "The chance to work with Roy here is obviously another attraction.

"I was sorry to see him leave Sunderland because I enjoyed playing for him. He knows what he wants from you and I know how he works.”
