CHORLEY manager Mark Molyneaux has put a £15million pound price tag on Joe Murray's head!

Molyneaux says a number of Football League clubs have been to Victory Park this season to watch the former New Zealand Under 21 international.

And Molyneaux himself cannot believe the midfielder isn't already at a League club.

"The kid is outstanding," he said. "Everything about him is top-class. He is worth about £15million.

"Usually with a midfielder you get a mix and match.

"They either have a good engine room, are strong in the tackle and can put a challenge in, or they can score vital goals at vital times and can pass it.

"But he can do the lot. He is the most complete footballer I have ever seen. His attitude, his running - they should make him take a drugs test after every game!

"After every match we play you get talking about players and people always mention him.

"How he is not already at a League club is beyond me but there are some sniffing around."

Murray joined the club at the end of the last season, soon after Molyneaux was appointed, from Weymouth and the gaffer says he wouldn't stand in his way if a League club did come in for him.

"I wouldn't stand in the way of any player wanting to play League football."

Chorley travel to Molyneaux's old club Trafford tomorrow in the UniBond first division, and the manager is looking for a repeat of the 4-0 home win against them just weeks ago.

"We keep winning one and losing one, that's the problem. We played well on Tuesday (5-1 win against Blackpool) and it was the response we wanted after getting beat by Guiseley.

"But we need to do that for five or ten games on the bounce to be a good side.

"The buck stops with me, they are individual errors, not good goals and the defence have to stop doing that."

Molyneaux made changes to the team on Tuesday after the 3-2 defeat last weekend.

Ian Leather, Billy McCartney and Phil Bayliss were replaced by Lee Molyneux, Lee Southwood and Jamie Bates.

And he ran the rule over the players in training last night before picking his team for tomorrow's match.

"How they do in training is massive," he said. "We could tell in training last Thursday that the attitude wasn't right.

When players turn up all giddy it means they are not focused.

"I sent them running last night because if we give the ball away as much as we did last week we are going to be doing a lot of running tomorrow."
