If Duffy was English he would definetly be in the Scotish side now. Let’s Just hope Northern Island Make it to the Euros next year.

The Mail (yes, I know) are reporting that Fulham will turn the Duffy loan into a permanent move so they can free up a loan slot to bring in Cedric Soares from Arsenal on loan.

Fulham will sign Duffy on a permanent deal to pave the way for Cedric
SIMON JONES: Marco Silva's side already have Duffy and Dan James from Leeds as their two designated domestic loans and a deal for the former is cheaper to complete.
Kind of does because it allows them to let him go out on a loan without (most likely) having to decrease his wage.
Of course, Fulham would like to send him back but Brighton doesn't want that - "nope, you agreed to take him on loan and pay his full salary for the entirety of the season and we're not going to find anyone else who does that, so he'll stay with you". Through Fulham buying him, Brighton gets rid of a player who is not wanted and difficult to sell, Fulham can decrease what they're paying (through letting some Championship club pay half or so of his wages) for him while making a loan slot available, and Duffy himself gets game time somewhere without giving up money. Fairly sensible move for everyone involved.

Will they have to pay a small fee now? They'd get him for free in the Summer, but why would we want to do a league rival a favour so that they can strengthen their squad now by letting him leave his contract 6 months early?
I don’t see him as strengthening any league rival. I would say he was past his best when he left and has played 4 minutes of football since. It will be better for us if he goes.
Maybe gets a small fee, maybe its just a small gesture towards Duffy so Fulham can loan him where he can get some game time.
If they sign him they can bring in another loan player who actually does strengthen them... which is what I'm guessing is what SATB is referring to.
The sooner he goes the better. He never looked good enough for this division. Any player with pace destroyed Duffy. It was as if the opposition tactics were to target Duffy when we first entered the Prem. I remember the likes of Salah, Coutinho, Hazard etc absolutely destroying Duffy. He was falling over his own legs trying to read what way the runners were going. Webster has been a gigantic upgrade if not the most important of the signings we’ve made since we made it to the Prem. Weird that Fulham now want Duffy permanently?

Was a great part of the CH era and his partnership with Dunky was key at that time. Good luck big man
Ah, good point. I didn’t think about this angle. It’s a bit complicated and second-guessing though. I’d still sell and focus on our business and not what rivals might potentially do.

......or we could play hardball with a team that's trying to keep us out of a European place, and just refuse to sell.

Exactly my thoughts. If they want to get Soares in, make them pay good money for Duffy

Better still, stop them getting Soares.
