I was thinking more of the 50s when we had Don Bates as back up to or as a choice with Steve Burtenshaw and Glen Wilson and Wolves had Eddie Clamp as back up to to Bill Slater and Ron Flowers,

I don't think I could have picked a name any more suited to the 1950's had I tried, than Eddie Clamp!

True, and with Blackburn selling Grant Hanley to Newcastle last week, that won't make things any easier either.

They have Wes Brown and Gordon Greer on trial so they could look at it as £9m in the bank replaced by 2 experienced competent free transfers.

True, although both are very much at the tail end of their careers, and both very much lacking pace.

I would be horrified if we had two center halves with the combine age of 74.That's not competent all all.

depends how young and quick the full backs are. We had Bruno and Greer last season with a combined age of nearly 70.

Hasn't got much to do with full backs. Some clubs like to play the long ball over the top or stretch the center backs. Good strikers turn quick and have a burst of pace. Having two old center backs is a complete no no. It's ok if you are looking to consolidate in this league but we are not. We are aspiring to get automatics. Thankfully most managers wouldn't agree with you anyway.

Greer is 35 and Brown is 36. How does that make 74?

When Greer and Upson finished their last season together for us their combined age was 68 and we made the play offs.

Odds moved in 1/2 to sign for us. Normally this just indicates money moving on him but you never know

Most clubs will look at the weaknesses, whether that be at center back or full back, or just on one side etc. Besides, what Blackburn may or may not do has sod all to do with what we are trying to achieve, so i'm not sure of your point there.

Not sure why you jumped in without reading the conservation between myself and grandad first. If you had then it would have stopped you posting what is effectually a nonsense.reply.

I did read it. It still didn't make any sense, though that's not unusual.

Lay off those anti depressants fella. You will have a clearer head..

My stalker has arrived. Claims to know me.

I do know you. I remember you from the Brewery Tap.

Just a gentle joke at mixing up conservation and conversation.

Well i'm not in the north stand no more and the Tap was a good pub back in those days.

CBA to read 14 pages but Duffy would be a BRILLIANT capture for us. He featured in WhoScored's Championship Team of the Year: https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/2...ampionship#overall-formation-seasonal-content

Didnt Naylor say last week there was no truth in this ...from a reliable source..

I thought that was about Russell Martin, though it may be the case with Duffy also.
