Shane Duffy

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Apart from inevitably being 'undisclosed', does anybody have a vague idea how much the fee was? (if any, of course - we might have gone easy with Fulham after rinsing them for Knockaert!)

As per my post above it appears to be a free transfer with Fulham effectively taking over the last 6 months of his contract. I doubt they’d spend a fee on a player and only give him a 6 month deal.

Hero.

Dunk and Duffy for me is THE centre back pairing of the Amex era. To finally see us over the line of promotion and then to keep us up showed how good he was. They complimented each other perfectly, and surely helped Dunk become who he is today. Shane, you will be missed.

Last time he came on for us he was playing up top!

 

[GoingUp]

Shame to see him go but he deserves games.

Him and Dunk were a great partnership, our version of Vidic/Rio, Keown/Adams, Terry/Carvalho, Bruce/Pallister etc so many great memories of them clattering into the opposition, last ditch tackles and headers but also feel Duffy was underrated with his feet too.

Shane Duffy has been a legend for the club. Always thought Potter was a bit disrespectful to him when he came in. I loved the way he came back into the team against all odds, and scored that Great header against Watford first home game of last season. Great bloke on the town too. Will miss you Shane!

Shane has joined Norwich on a free transfer from Fulham. Hopefully he’ll get regular game time there as he’s not played much over the last couple of seasons and the big fella deserves it. Big part of why we got promoted and stayed up, without the likes of Shane Duffy we wouldn’t be where we are today.

A great player for us and, as others have pointed out, a huge part of our journey to and survival in the Premier League. His style may not be suited to the way we play now but there's still no one I'd rather have dealing with crosses into the box. He could head away a Jeep.

 

[B-right-on]

Good luck Shane.

As has been said, the D&D era was one of the best defensive partnerships in decades and one of the key reasons for our promotion and survival in the first couple of PL seasons.

And a really nice guy to boot

Signed from Blackburn in 2016 for 4million a record signing for Brighton. Many though that was well overprice.... Well ha certaintainly paid that back many hundred times....

All the best Shane....

I remember his first game against Brentford was it at home? Whoever it was he didn’t play very well and many were questioning him over Goldson at the time. But he turned into an absolute legend after that, what a guy aswell

His debut was away at Newcastle, about 5 minutes after signing for the club! Brentford may well have been his first home game and I absolutely remember thinking that Goldson was being harshly sidelined. That opinion quickly changed.

 

[GoingUp]

Loved big Shane, him and Dunk as a pairing

I think he was very underrated on the ball too.

Good luck Shane!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I bloody love Shane Duffy.

That's all.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I bloody love Shane Duffy.

That's all.

Same. That Ryan-Dunk-Duffy human shield saved our sorry hides defensively for one whole season, while at the same time weighing in with enough goals at the other end to severely embarrass the guys in charge of recruiting forwards capable of sticking the ball in the onion bag occasionally

I bloody love Shane Duffy.

That's all.

Me too….but do not pass out to him, on the deck, from the back

This. Oooo, it's such a complex game nowadays (copyright @Commander and a few equally-gullible others on here) that poor thick Shane wouldn't even begin to understand the multi-layered levels of modern day EPL complexity. It's like a three - nay, FOUR! - dimensional game of chess you absolute DINOSAURS!

 

[sydney]

great in the air but prone to the odd disaster.......continental.

 

[The Mole]

And quite useful as an attacking option for set pieces

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

An astute singing by David Wagner l think, Norwich and the way they play will very much suit Big Shane.

Hope his new local have a plentiful supply of Nigerian lager.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

And quite useful as an attacking option for set pieces

Apart from the chances he heads over the bar!

But yes, a useful outlet when balls are played into the box from corners.
