Mick McCarthy dismissive of bids for Daryl Murphy

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy intends to continue disappointing pursuers of his hitman, Daryl Murphy, unless they get realistic with their bids.

Waterford man Murphy might be 32 and may only have a year remaining on his contract, but his value to McCarthy’s promotion tilt in the coming season is massive.

His 27 goals had a major influence in Ipswich confounding their low budget by making it to last term’s Championship play-offs.
