Celtic in talks with Duffy.

Possibly a season long loan deal for £2m.

I think Celtic have got the better deal if you ask me. We probably save another £2m on his wages (assuming Celtic are picking that up), but would've preferred a permanent transfer of he's not in Potters long term plan.
I hope this happens, makes sense for all.
That article says we're looking for a minimum £5 million to sell Duffy though. That would surprise me as I would say we could comfortably get at least £10 million for him.
We definitely don't need Rogic though.

Duffy to West Ham [or West Brom or Celtic]?
Sounds like the Knockeart deal.
An agreement to purchase at the end of the loan.
Makes sense for all. A great signing for Celtic though.. one of our outstanding PL defenders no question. He will be utterly immense in that league.
Delighted for Shane as well. A good move for him, chance of a trophy.

I was told that we'd prefer a loan deal right now due to the market being depressed, with a view to a sale later.
I doubted that.
Shows what I know!

For a player that is good enough for the PL but doesn't fit with GP, that's a good outcome. Would hate coming up against PL opposition with him in their team.

I fancy Shane Duffy will find the lure of European football and being a key part of the '10 in a row' side very tempting indeed, and being an Irish international playing for Celtic does your global reputation no harm whatsoever.
He's not going to get a Top 6 Prem side here and he's done well financially so Celtic is a no-brainer.

A season loan might work out for us. We save money on wages, and as it seems get a £2million loan fee, and next summer we reassess. It might be that next summer we face the same battle to keep hold of Dunk and White, and so being able to bring Duffy back in is needed.

We can always sell next year, or if we get relegated have him come back and be a top championship player.

I think a £2m loan fee for a season would be terrible business for us. But I thought, and said, that about the deal to sign Dan Burn.
I'm perfectly happy to accept than Dan Ashworth knows a lot more about this than I do!

I’d be extremely surprised if Duffy plays for us again. He’s just not a Potter type defender but when he leaves it will be my with huge thanks and best wishes for the future. What a signing he was. Dunk and Duffy will ever be synonymous with that rock solid defence which helped take us up from the Championship and then kept us in the Premier League under Hughton.
He’d be adored at Celtic and if he ends up there I wish him well.

Duffy would be a great signing for teams like WBA and West Ham, so good that looks like it´s not happening
I would think we aren’t keen to strengthen a relegation rival as with White/Leeds.
Precisely my thoughts.
I think Celtic know that hence the relatively low loan fees being bandied about.

We've never not known the club to be honourable.
The Duffster has played a massive part in the Albion's current position, putting his body on the line for the club.
If he says he wants to go to WBA, I see no reason for the club to say no.
It's completely different to White, who has been groomed for now.

Would head a bus if thrown at him. Love the bloke but just doesn't fit now unfortunately.
Will be a sad day but goes with my blessing.
