The more I read about Duffy I wonder is he an improvement on Greer? He is younger but is he more mobile and as good positioning wise., I wonder. I do not see spending in excess of £3m for him when we have 3 good CB when all fit plus Hall and Dallison learning the ropes.
I would think that he has kept himself basically fit while looking for another contract, probably his last, and his experience will see him through knowing where to be at the right time so as to not be exposed.
I have said it before I would offer Haangerland a 1 yr contract to cover while our other CBs get back up to fitness and Hall and Dallison prove their worth and that they are ready for the step up. He could do for us now what Upson did.
The emphasis is on RIGHT PLAYERS AT THE RIGHT PRICE then the business will be done. Not before or after. I am sure they have some lined up and hopefully will move quickly for a CB as apparently Bruno again proved today thst he is not a CB only for a short time in a game in an emegency.
I expect a couple of signings early next week when the players have drawn their last bumper pay packet from their Premier clubs probably Tues/Wed. Probably 2 players who have never been mentioned on here and nobody aware we are after them.
I would think that subject to wages being acceptable both Greer and Brown would sign for them in what will probably be their last contract as players. Selling their 2 could earn them £9m which is not to be sneezed at.
I was thinking more of the 50s when we had Don Bates as back up to or as a choice with Steve Burtenshaw and Glen Wilson and Wolves had Eddie Clamp as back up to to Bill Slater and Ron Flowers,
I am surprised that nobody on here has given much opinion on Ben Hall. I have never seen him play but working on the basis that he played 19 games for Motherwell in the Scottish Prem is he anywhere near the standard Goldson was when he left Shrewsbury,

Wouldnt have expected much else at his age and with his recent record of playing for Liverpool. Its sad to see a good player who has gone down hill with age perhaps should have gone to MLS.
