Agreed. He's a brilliant player on his day but they come along very rarely. The six league games at the start of last season showed what he can do with a run in the side. However, due to injuries, he has not got near that form since and doesn't look likely to do so.
The OP from Bozza seems to be more congratulating the club on a great signing rather than criticising others from what I see. It depends what you mean by questioned too. As I said in this thread, I was surprised we signed Duffy. I didn't question it as, to be honest, our recruitment team have...
They are incomparable. We spent £3.5 million apparently on one player. Derby, for example, bought a number of players for more than that (including Bradley Johnson for about £6 million). It seems to me that you are the one getting on your high horse without really having any reason to.
I must admit to having this view at the time but I am willing to admit I was wrong now. I thought we'd be signing a centre back to compete for the positions but not be automatic first choice and was very surprised when we signed Duffy for the fee suggested.
However, the more he plays, the more...
Agree completely. I had my doubts, not based on his first two games, but just based on it seeming like a lot of money in a position we did well in last year. How wrong I was.
As you say, he has been fantastic. Frankly, judging by Saturday, Duffy is the transfer that Norwich should have beaten...
People have very short memories. As you say, some said we should sell him last summer and then were asking why we kept him when he got sent off at QPR and then made a couple of errors. Barring his aberration against Derby, it's been very clear since then why we didn't sell him to Fulham back then.
