Newcastle United fans on Twitter have been discussing Jacob Murphy and his future at St. James Park.
This comes after Newcastle news Twitter account @ChronicleNUFC shared a post on their page that contained an article from Chronicle Live revealing that Sheffield Wednesday boss Garry Monk has admitted to Yorkshire Live that he would like to keep Murphy at Hillsborough for at least another season.
The Chronicle then captioned their post asking their followers if they would let Murphy leave the club or not.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Newcastle fans, who were quick to share their thoughts on Murphy and what they believe the club should do with him.
Here’s a sample of Newcastle fans responding to the post:

Unfortunately he’s not Premier League standard.
Shame but he’s had more than enough chances.

The 25-year-old, who is currently valued at £3.15 million according to Transfermarkt, first signed to Newcastle back in 2017 from Norwich City for a fee of £10.17 million (per Transfermarkt)
With the greatest respect, we wouldn’t even notice.

Murphy joined Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan deal at the start of the season. During his spell there, Murphy has managed to make a total of 41 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in the process, including a goal against QPR at the weekend (per Transfermarkt).
Forgot he was still our player

Has Jacob Murphy been a flop for Newcastle?
Yes
No
Yes, let the lad move on
Best for both party’s— Rob Watson (@whickhamrobbie) July 13, 2020
With The Chronicle asking their followers if they think the club should let Murphy go this summer, this sparked a big reaction with many Newcastle fans responding with their thoughts on the situation.
Yes. Not good enough

Another young prospect ruined by the toon and another signing that showed why Rafa didn’t deserve more money

Looking at these replies from this group of Newcastle fans, it would safe to assume that none of them see a future at St. James’ Park for the winger.
Maybe the best thing for everyone involved now would be for Newcastle to work out a deal for Murphy that would see him stay at Sheffield Wednesday on a permanent basis if that’s what the player wants to do.
