That may be an option against Norwich if Potter thinks Montoya is struggling a bit.

There are thousands who would agree with Potter that Montoya is struggling

I still think Duffy will be here next season, simply for the fact I’m not sure who would sign him currently for what we’d want. I think he’s too limited for a lot of Prem clubs & I reckon we’d want 25-30m for him which will put a lot of clubs off.

Realistically the top 6 along with Bournemouth, Leicester & Wolves wouldn’t touch him. I can’t see Norwich, Watford, Palace, Burnley or Sheffield United forking out for him; neither would Newcastle unless they finally get taken over. Leaves Villa (who signed 3 or 4 CB’s in the summer), Everton, West Ham & Saints. There’s a few teams who might look at him if they’re promoted but even then I couldn’t see Preston or Swansea making a move for someone like Duffy.

People praising the Greyhound for his comeback and writing off our current player of the season even though we are leaking goals like a sieve. Another day on NSC :lol:

Except only one bit of that is correct.

Yes, another day on NSC.....:rolleyes:

Newcastle for £15m in Jan is my bet

Absolutely no chance we sell to a relegation rival at that price and Newcastle are okay for defenders anyway.

This is why I think Duffy might be stuck here for a while even if he’s not in Potters plans. Very few teams who aren’t a relegation rival are going to want to sign a player who looks ropey with the ball at his feet. He’s one of the best defenders we’ve ever had, but he’s incredibly limited technically IMO.

I can’t see him going abroad, I can’t see many Prem clubs paying what we’d want & he’s way too good to drop down a level. He only leaves if Everton or West Ham come in for him or if West Brom or similar come up (or if he kicks up a fuss and goes on strike)
