Norwich City are interested in getting their hands on veteran defender Shane Duffy on a free transfer in the summer window.

Where it looks like he will meet Ashley Barnes. A good move for both.

Not sure the journalist who referred to him as a "veteran" should meet him in person.

Not unless he wants his face rearranged.

I personally think he could still do a job at a newly promoted PL club, Luton, Sheff United or Burnley could do a lot worse.

Norwich tend to like a bit of experience at centre back. Duffy probably ticks their boxes which will be fewer than ours. Not convinced of a PL team relying on him at CB in the modern era.

Possibly. It very much depends on how the club set up though, Luton or Sheffield United maybe, Vincent Kompany's Burnley though are very different to the Sean Dyche version.

It's interesting- he's become a cult hero at Fulham without hardly playing. He gave away a goal at Leicester and missed a decent chance from a free kick. Maybe its his alleged drinking exploits! But he's obviously popular with the players as well. Wish him luck.

His best chance of playing lower end PL is to get promoted as an integral player already in a system. Good move all round.

Well his favourite pints of Guinness are in the Fulham colours.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

He's not played for several seasons and will struggle to be anywhere near as effective as he was here, particularly given that he is past 30. Yes a good Championship club will welcome him but he will not be an automatic starter. Good team man though. Big salary drop for him I expect.

Yep agree with that.
They can also count on their fingers the days of the week....

He'll need game time to stay playing for ROI too.

Well, I was born there and and still on an eight day week.

Three year contract!!! Fair play

Loved the Dunk/Duffy combo in the early days of Premier League, has his limitations but was a rock for us in so many games
