Hopefully not impressed.
Bet the scouts are impressed now.

If Duffy was English he would definetly be in the Scotish side now. Let’s Just hope Northern Island Make it to the Euros next year.
Kind of does because it allows them to let him go out on a loan without (most likely) having to decrease his wage.The Duffy move being made permanent doesn’t make much sense to him as a player. He’s played 4 minutes of football for them (over 4 appearances).
You would have thought there would be a club better suited to offer him regular football.
I don’t see him as strengthening any league rival. I would say he was past his best when he left and has played 4 minutes of football since. It will be better for us if he goes.Will they have to pay a small fee now? They'd get him for free in the Summer, but why would we want to do a league rival a favour so that they can strengthen their squad now by letting him leave his contract 6 months early?
Maybe gets a small fee, maybe its just a small gesture towards Duffy so Fulham can loan him where he can get some game time.Will they have to pay a small fee now?

If they sign him they can bring in another loan player who actually does strengthen them... which is what I'm guessing is what SATB is referring to.I don’t see him as strengthening any league rival.

Ah, good point. I didn’t think about this angle. It’s a bit complicated and second-guessing though. I’d still sell and focus on our business and not what rivals might potentially do.If they sign him they can bring in another loan player who actually does strengthen them... which is what I'm guessing is what SATB is referring to.

......or we could play hardball with a team that's trying to keep us out of a European place, and just refuse to sell.Kind of does because it allows them to let him go out on a loan without (most likely) having to decrease his wage.
Of course, Fulham would like to send him back but Brighton doesn't want that - "nope, you agreed to take him on loan and pay his full salary for the entirety of the season and we're not going to find anyone else who does that, so he'll stay with you". Through Fulham buying him, Brighton gets rid of a player who is not wanted and difficult to sell, Fulham can decrease what they're paying (through letting some Championship club pay half or so of his wages) for him while making a loan slot available, and Duffy himself gets game time somewhere without giving up money. Fairly sensible move for everyone involved.

Better still, stop them getting Soares.Exactly my thoughts. If they want to get Soares in, make them pay good money for Duffy
Cream?Better still, stop them getting Soares.
