Newcastle fans aren’t in the mood for sending Daryl Murphy on loan to Sunderland.
The Irish internationalist was signed from Ipswich Town last summer and largely played a support role as promotion was clinched.
It’s obvious that Murphy would have a very limited role for Newcastle in the Premier League but loaning him to rivals Sunderland is a no-no for Newcastle fans.
The joy of promotion was intensified as Sunderland dropped out of the top flight with no-one interested in lending a helping hand to Simon Grayson’s hopes.
When was the last time a Newcastle or Sunderland player was loaned to one another? #safc #nufc

Daryl Murphy to Sunderland on loan is the daftest transfer rumour I’ve ever heard. In what instance would #nufc ever consider that move?

Lot’s of clubs seem to be taking an interest in Daryl Murphy. Takes me back to the good old days when Roeder asked to loan him
