Murphy Nagbe Training AT PSMS Medan

Former Lone Star Captain Murphy Nagbe is back in form, heading towards his professional career. Reports have it that Nagbe has rejoined his former club, PSMS Madan, alongside fellow countryman James Koko Lomell.

Murphy Nagbe is said to have registered with the club for the 2011/2012 season, but LISCR FC’s President Mustapha Raji was unable to be reached for confirmation after his phone rang without response. Nagbe and  Koko Lomell were signed on by Liberia’s premiership champions LISCR FC for the 2010/11 season.

If it goes well with the Liberian as it is reported in the Indonesian Sport media, the Liberian central defender will be rejoining other experienced and rough defenders on the Liberia National team, including Teah Dennis, Solomon Wisseh and Jimmy Dixon as the country prepares for its World Cup preliminary match against Mauritius next month.

PSMS Madan is quoted as saying that “Bids opened for its former defender to return to the club to protect its pride”.

Murphy has expressed his preparedness to defend PSMS, if the board of Chicken Kinantan was willing to pay 100 thousand U.S. dollars or about Rp900 million.   “Kamu tahu bagaimana saya bermain, dan saya selalu bermain secara profesional.

“You know how I play, and I always play professionally. Jika pengurus bisa membayar saya 100.00 USD, maka saya dan adik saya siap kembali ke Indonesia dan membela PSMS. If the board can pay me 100 USD, then my brother and I are ready to return to Indonesia and defend the PSMS. James juga harganya segitu,” ujarnya. James also cost that much, “he said.

Murphy mengatakan, harga itu dinilai pantas. “Saya tidak mematok harga terlalu besar, dan harga itu untuk PSMS,” timpalnya. “I do not set prices too high, and that price was good for PSMS,” he added.

“Dan yang terpenting saya ingin diundang, saya tak mungkin menawarkan diri, saya tidak begitu mengenal pengurus yang sekarang, sudah lama saya tidak mengikuti perkembangan PSMS.

“And most importantly, I want to be invited; I am not so familiar with the current board; I have been following the development of PSMS Medan. Yang pasti, saya tak akan lupa dengan memori tahun 2007, Medan benar-benar kota dengan fans dan suasana yang baik,” jelasnya.

To be sure, I’ll never forget the memory of 2007in the city of Medan actually with the fans, and the atmosphere is good, “he explained. Senada itu, James Koko juga mengiyakan pendapat sang abang.

Sementara itu, Sekum PSMS Idris SE mengatakan harga senilai Rp900 juta itu bisa saja dipertimbangkan untuk pengurus melakukan perekrutan. Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the SE PSMS Idris has said that the price of Rp900 million could be considered for board recruitment. Namun, dia mengaku nilai itu akan lebih baik bila bisa memperoleh dua pemain asing lain.

However, he admitted it would be a better value when you can get two other foreign players.  “Bisa saja kita pertimbangkan, namun kalau kita bisa mendapatkan dua pemain asing dengan harga segitu kan akan lebih baik.
