Totally agree. I called a while ago that Duffy would be a monster at Burnley, he’s perfect for them.

However it’s questionable if we want to help improve Burnley’s back line like that.

Glad to see he had a good game and hope its the first of many both for him and for us as we might be able to get a decent price for him.

Would Burnley go in for him given he's...y'know...foreign?

We will try to get him off the payroll if possible, but maybe some sort of loan with an option to buy might be acceptable to both parties.

I totally agree - my thinking is that Forest would be the ideal place to send him. Big club, a manager we have the utmost respect for, not in the same division we're in and gives the player a chance to rebuild his career again. It might be naive on my behalf, but I hope and think we'll put the player first here.

I totally agree. He would be excellent there, assuming Dyche stays. Which is why I wouldn't want us to send him there. That being said, I don't think we'd stand in his way if he wanted to make that move and the deal was right - but it wouldn't be our first choice!

Tarkowski is not a Duffy type CB though

Clearly a good player but needs a good fit. Agree Burnley etc. would be a good move. Or someone like a West Brom? Any ‘big’ Champ club who play a traditional style.

I get the feeling that Shane will always do well for his adopted country, The Republic have always been a fairly physical team, at least under their recent managerial set up.

A simplistic way of putting it, but heading it, kicking it, and blocking it, is Shane to a tee, (with a little skill of course), and what he does best.

Just a shame they don't pay his wages, and he can't play for them every week.

Ashley Barnes qualifies to play for Austria, Chris Wood is a Kiwi, there are other examples too.

Adopted?
