Shane Duffy - it's a DONE DEAL!

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Cracking signing and I think the price is good for a 24yr old. My only concern is that this could slow the development of goldson. Also makes me wonder if there is a possibility that dunk could go ? I hope not. I think we now have 4 cbs who are to coin a phrase 'premiership ready'.

Great signing, got to be considered the strongest defence in the championship now. Even got two great goalkeepers.

Surely Dunk would have picked up a mysterious injury or developed fitness issues if he was about to be sold, rather than risk injury playing league games.

I presume Blackburn eventually agreed to the £500,000 add on, so we will have paid £4million up front (or maybe slightly less). Apologies if this is fixtures - Blackburn have signed Tommie Hoban on a season-long loan from Watford and a left back.

Where did you get the 4m + 500,000 add on, or was that just a totally pluck it out of the air and look as if you know something moment

Young Internnational and a big unit

Definitely a good signing, glad this got done in time for tomorrow

 

[BensGrandad]

Is Liam Rosenior out tomorrow?

Strength in depth, well at CB, is good news

Not to mention goalkeeper, centre midfield (at the moment) and wingers.
More centre backs equals better full back cover.

Just one glaring omission.

Didn't Lewis dunk score two own goals in a game vs Liverpool? Can happen to anyone!

Think you have confused Dunk with Bridcutt. Scored 2 og in 6-1 FA Cup defeat under Gus

I stand corrected

Yes.

It was Dunk wasn't it?

Edit - one for Dunk and two for Bridcutt

But didnt play anywhere near as many games.

But much better, and much later.........

Andy Naylor is reporting that it's nowhere near that figure. I doubt that we paid anything like that amount up front either. There will be appearance clauses, promotion bonuses etc and four years to take into account.

You could well be right. I hadn't read Andy Naylor's article, and I typed in a hurry before doing something else (it's a good job I've not been at work this week, or I'd never have got any work done). Whatever, I did think the £4.5 million would be nowhere near the actual figure. I wonder if these deals, building up to a final amount, are the way the majority are done these days. Edit - read it now.

According to Sky, Swansea have agreed a deal to sign Alfie Mawson from Barnsley as a replacement for Ashley Williams. I know Sunderland was mentioned on here, but I don't think he was ever a runner for us. Sky are saying the fee is around £5 million.

I may be in a minority of one here but I couldn't be much more disappointed if I tried.
From what I've seen of Duffy I really don't rate him above being a bang average championship defender.
Good with his head, but error prone and easily pulled out of position.
I'm glad we signed a CB but believe we could have done better, I know he's an international etc etc, but I couldn't care less about that, what I care about is Brighton and us not having defenders on the pitch that are likely to give the opposition chances and ultimately be blameworthy for goals every match. Colin Hawkins MK2.
God I hope I'm wrong. With that said, if he gets into the side, he will have my full support and I truly hope he can perform at a level that makes this post look incredibly silly.
Bet Blackburn are rubbing their hands and the rest of the promotion contenders are laughing their arses off at us.
Please please please prove me wrong Shane.

There's only one Shane Duffy,
There's only one Shane Duffy,
He scored two own goals,
He joined the seagulls,
Walking in a Duffy wonderland

If you cared about Brighton like you say then stop grizzling and actually back the players we sign. It's embarrassing reading some of the shit on here. All of a sudden people seem to be experts on Duffy.

We smash our transfer record and people are still ungrateful FFS
