True, but Duffy would have been a league 1 CB by next season. I disagree that he's anywhere near 'top quality.' Sorry, I think the recruitment team/Hughton got this wrong. What has he done to prove to you that he is a top quality CB?!?
Thanks brother!
Seriously we've lost two since Duffy came in, could it have been any worse?!? Goldy would have been back very soon, now he's going to be thinking hmmmmmmm Dunk and Duffy nailed on first picks. Dunk deserves this, Duffy?!? Arghhh
Hey let's buy a CB who chucked his toys out at...
Okay I get yer... BUT I disagree we needed Duffy at all. We never give our young CBs a chance, (Dunk and Elphick aside) i'd have given the Scots lad a chance, what is the ****ING point of the dev. Squad?!?
What a waste of bloody money.
Nah I'm really pissed off about this summer's 'work.' Not...
I agree, I think?!? Duffy smacks of a panic or very expensive luxury signing. He's not a winner this lad, far too used to losing in that God awful Blackburn side. Truly this is going to prove a folly signing.
I'd play Goldson, but we wouldn't want to admit we've bought a very expensive lemon...
Duffy will play (as he's our record signing) regardless of ability and form. Never sign losers, this guy is a loser. It's early days obviously, but I reckon we paid about £3.5 million too much for him.
Heh heh... I rather think my 11th-14th pre-season prediction is looking good right now. No bed wetting, just fact really.
Retaining players who want out is a huge error. The 'spirit' has undeniably suffered as a consequence. All in all I think midtable is a quite a realistic possibility.
Oh...
