Whilst sad, I’m sure Duffy leaving wouldn’t be a big surprise this summer?

[Albion] Duffy - Season Long Loan To Celtic Confirmed
- Thread starter vagabond
- Start date
Good deal for everyone. Club would make triple what they laid out on him and Duffers would get the game time needed at the top level to be in the frame for the ROI squad at the Euros.
Sad to see him go, but he’s dropping further and further down the pecking order.

Seems far more likely than Dunk to Chelsea.

I'd be happy enough for a wedge of cash for the Duffmonger, cutting our centre-half numbers to 9. Been excellent for us as a defender, but there's only one Burnley, and Moyes is perhaps the last of the Allardyce-ish unmerry-go-rounds to leave style at the door and find relish in beastliness.

Makes sense that he's an option to leave. Not a bad defender but has his sloppy moments & Dunk/Webster/Veltman/White/Burn are all more Potter type players in terms of their ability on the ball or potential to play multiple positions. Duffy is at heart an old school tackle & hoof it defender who has tried to adapt to a passing game but isnt quite upto it. For £10-15million it makes sense to cash in.
If Ake is £40m is he really four times the player of Shane?

No, but that ain't how premium pricing works.

Shane is an excellent player for the right team. Unfortunately (and I believe the changes we've made are completely right) it's not us anymore.
Good luck Big man

Duffy is too good to be playing second fiddle with us, but he's still one of the best defenders at the club, albeit not best with his feet.
Newcastle at home few weeks ago, Andy Carroll comes on, starts getting on the long balls, Duffy comes on and bosses it.
Last 5-10 mins defending lead/draw under the cosh, I'd take Duffy over any other defender except Dunky.
Brilliant defensively, and in the air, a beast man mountain.

If we have to lose one of our main centre backs I’d prefer it to be Duffy, and certainly not Dunk.
If you want to play out from the back like City... then yes

Horses for courses. Shane will get game time at a blood and thunder club. Blood and thunder clubs tend to be bottom half. TB is aiming for top half. Simples.

Duffy could also get 4-5 goals a season in a team that plays to his strengths. Wish him luck if he leaves.

Celtic get Duffy and Connolly, we get Edouard?
