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.

He’d be brilliant in the Premier League for any team that employs a low block gambling that they get one or two touches in the opposition’s penalty area and score from them.

Certainly the likes of Watford, Palace, Burnley and even Newcastle would be improved by having him in their team if he can rediscover his Brighton form (I don’t recall many poor games from the big man when he was playing for us).

If he signs for Palace however, a part of me will die (and another part will perish when he inevitably scores against us).

I guess its a reference of the fact that Shane was born in Derry in Northern Ireland and played for them at youth international level.
But his late father is from Ireland - and he switched to playing for them at adult level.

I wouldn't rule it out, as you say he would suit Palarse's style very well, and they are looking for a new back four for next season.

Exactly that.

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

Isn't Chris Wood their Designated Overseas Player, like in cricket?

Huge issue with Duffy is the wages. EFL Finances are demolished so unless hes going to take a 50% pay cut seems unlikely.

Also smaller PL clubs will be tightening their belts after no crowds for a year, so £50k+ a week for Duffy might be tricky

I think it's thought to be £40k a week which must be pretty average for a defender for a lower PL club.

Duffy is one of the highest paid players at Brighton

He was born in Northern Ireland.

Clearly you know (or won't acknowledge) the history of the island of Ireland
