Shane Duffy

£4 million may seem a lot but, when you consider what we're talking about wanting for Dunk, it puts it into perspective. I'm not saying I want to spend £4 million on a centre back (and the report is probably wrong anyway) but he's not become a bad player overnight and looked good at the Euros.

He's not actually a bad player, very talented with a big future. Everyone f*cks up at some point.

Indeed.

For reference see 'Lewis Dunk: the early years'
Your mistakes can make you stronger in the long term.

Or maybe he is just sh*t

I have no idea.

I'd rather see us go for another young defender from the lower leagues or the worse sides in the league? Alfie Mawson at Barnsley fits the bill for me

Yes it does it shows that £4m is 4 x the price he should be and he didnt look that good in the Euros either to justify such a price. £4m for a 5th choice is silly money.

Frankly, if we have actually bid that, I think I'd take our scouts views over those of someone who thinks Joleon Lescott would be a good signing.

I would take him and Marshall happily

both fill a lot of gaps in our squad

Good enough for David Moyes to sign for Sunderland but not good enough for BHA------ strange that.

Took me a minute!������

If Goldson is back soon, and whilst Bruno is working well with Dunk and Rosenior, I can't see Duffy getting in the side anyway. Hunemeier can't be too far away so if worse comes to worse there is an opening for White to step up from the Dev squad.

Maybe before the season started it was a concern, but now it is £4m plus wages saved.

 

[Langley]

There can't be too many worst performances than two own goals and getting sent off, but l seem to recall a guy called Baxter who played for Preston who also scored two own goals and also hit his own post when Brighton beat Preston 5-2 at the Goldstone in about 1976/7!!

We had 3 own goals against Liverpool, Bridcutt 2 and Dunk

That site is as reliable as BG's favourite. Probably just as well given last night's display.

Is Lescott not going to Rangers then?

He was apparently in talks with both Rangers and Sunderland.

Looks past his best to me

Not the same guy. This one used to play for Atalanta in Serie A.

And has been said before the dosh he would want...no thanks

Now watched all three own goals and have to say one or two are very dubious. I'm not saying they are deliberate but only the first is a typical defender running towards his goal.

Harsh second yellow card.

 

[perseus]

I remember Duffy for his open goal miss at he Amex last season.

 

[stss30]

Not sure about 4m but he's a balls to the wall defender who can also bag a goal. Seems like he makes over exuberant decisions sometimes, seen him get sent off 3/4 times and I don't really follow Blackburn or their results.

This video seems to sum him up pretty well
