Ipswich boss Paul Lambert, speaking about a potential Murphy reunion, suggested a move would be financially difficult: "The lad was a good player but I don't know because he's older now.

"Money-wise you never know until wages get put on the table, but people need to get their heads round that we won't be getting masses.
