    I'll be hugely surprised if the move works out for him. Kelvin Davis is obviously number one there. Mart Poom when fit is also a very good and experienced keeper, and young Ben Alnwick is very highly rated up there. He's been sigend as a safety net. I think he should drop down a division or two were he's garaunteed a game.

    Daryl Murphy left back ?

    Daryl Murphy played last night left back for sunderland reserves.. By all accounts he had a very good game and supplied a lot of crosses in from the left.. Good to see the lad doing well and if he can transform himself into a left back then it will give him more options.. better chance getting a game left back for sunderland as well if he develops well ..

    Interesting. But he's too much of a threat going forward to have him left back imo. He's well able to notch aswell.
    Resign, now!

    True but saw him in training for sunderland as well at left back as well and he looked canny .. Hopefully will add another string to his bow and give him a better chance of playing .. Will find it tough to get in up front at the moment ..

    Sunderland

    D Murphy at left back
    That just about sums up why Sunderland are at the bottom of the league
    and why Keane had such contempt for Mc Carthy

    dont be a clown. sunderland and mccarthy have every right to ask a player to play anywhere. hes only a young lad and it is a club in ireland who decided that murphy was best placed to be a striker. maybe he has come over here and people have realised that at the moment he isnt best suited to being a striker. so if thats the case then what would u rather have him do....play as a left back (and well , according to most) of be classed as a striker and get a 15minute run out for the reserves every week or so.

    D Murphy

    Of Course McCarthy can play him anywhere he wants In goal if
    the humour takes him.
    But after seeing him playing up front and deciding to pay the money
    for him, to play him full back after a few months is stupidity!
    Hes an experienced u21 International striker,If Mc Carthy needed
    a full back he should have bought one
    He is going to do terrible damage to this lads career with this folly.
    Murphy needs to gain experience playing in his proper position
    Cant think of another manager who would pay money for a forward
    and play him as a defender so soon!

    It does seem strange so soon after buying him but a lot of managers notice little things that make them think someone can operate in a different position. Sure a lot of centre halfs started out as forwards. Sol Campbell is the obvious one that springs to mind, Ashley Cole was a winger and only started to play at left back when he came back from a loan spell at Crystal Palace.

    No harm in trying it I think.

    Did Gary Kelly go on trails with Leeds as a striker and then in training
    something was noticed and they moved full back and signed him

    This is true. He played for Home Farm as a striker. In a way a striker turned into a defender knows the tricks and turns he is likely to come up against.

    That's right. Wilkinson said that he felt Kelly was a reactive rather than pro-active player.

    AFAIK, Mark Kennedy used to play in goal at Home Farm.

    Hasn't Rory Delap played every outfield position bar left full and left wing?
    Alan Smith has been converted from striker to holding midfield wannabe.
    So why not striker to left full?

    I have a vague recollection of Delap playing for an Ireland B selection at left-full at Tolka, God knows when. So even more versatile than you think! I think it was Ireland against Ireland in some shape or form. He played upfront against Turkey in the away leg of the play-off.

    Kevin Kilbane & central midfield is another

    D Murphy

    Cole,Campbell, G Kelly and Mark Kennedy(left goals under 15) were in there positions they play now before they Started Senior Football
    None were as established as Murphy none got as far as u21 playing those positions
    Doherty is neither a good defender or attacker Delap can play all positions
    badly
    Murphy has ernomous potential as a front man.Given proper guidance
    Look whats happening to Doyle with good management
    Murphy is being asked to play out of position one he never played before
    and when he cant do it Mc Carthy will say he couldnt hack it and send him
    back

    sunderland are not bottom of the league firstly.. Murphy is a young lad and playing him at left back will toughen him up and make him a stronger player .. didnt kevin philips start out as a right back ?? Mick knows hes a forward but is trying to improve his allround game .. Good move imo ..

    Jamie Carragher was a striker when he was a yoths player, and scored on his Prem debut from midfield. It happens quite a lot, players changing positions. Sure Alan Shearer had a trial with Newcastle and he played in goal.
