Shane Duffy

[Munchkin]

Not sure that’s a great move for Shane to be honest…

Fulham obviously made it a permanent to accommodate the Soares loan, rather than actually wanting him (as he’s hardly featured, even when fit)

Genuinely thought a move to a Championship side would have been a more sensible option or his loan cancelled and him sent out to a Stoke or Blackburn.

Be interested to see the length of his contract on this one.

When the move was first mooted, I assumed he would be immediately sent out on loan to the Championship, but by Fulham rather than us.

But, given it's now happening so late, that seems unlikely, which is a shame as he could do with playing at this stage of his career.

A very good servant to the club and very important player alongside Dunk in our PL promotion campaign, and subsequent Hughton years in the PL.

Seems a good move for all concerned, Shane gets to stay in the PL with a club who are doing very well and I’m sure won’t let the team down when he gets his chances.

Cheers Shane!!

This will allow Fulham to loan Duffy straight out yeh? They're not playing him and presumably both parties want him getting some football.

Can I just say ... Shane Duffy ... What a player for us. Unbelievable presence, put the fear of god into people, chipped in with vital goals and massive clearances. Absolutely love him and I will take part in giving him a massive ovation if he plays at the Amex again

 

[moggy]

Has he gone for a fee?

 

[um bongo molongo]

I wonder what we got for him. You feel like Fulham’s situation would have presented a master poker player the chance to squeeze a few quid…

 

[herecomesaregular]

Underrated in retrospect perhaps. He is what we needed at the time and the Dunk n Duffy partnership was perfect. At the time. Another Albion player whose contribution is not forgotten in my books.

 

[jcdenton08]

Has he gone for a fee?

No, his contract was up in June anyway and they’ve just signed him on a free. Also means they have to pay his full wages now, as we may have been contributing (but have no idea for sure).

Either way I wish him all the very best.

 

[The Fits]

Such a good player for us. Should never be forgotten IMHO. Was an absolute rock and a massive step up in quality. Wish him well, even if it seems a slightly odd move.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Hope we have a sell on clause if we let him sign on a free.

 

[Rookie]

Love the big man and sorry to see him go but won’t get a game here. Played a huge part in our progress and would be welcome back at any time

 

[Springal]

Hope we have a sell on clause if we let him sign on a free.

He’s 31 !

Fulham will feel they've got to get one back against us to compensate for Knockaert!

Edit - if they've got time to loan him out to Championship or League 1 that would be win win all round.

 

[Invicta]

He was a top player in the Championship and early Prem league years. Part of the legendary group.

 

[attila]

In his place, in his time, an absolute legend for me. Unstinting, brave, gave his all. Good luck...

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Love you Shane.

Not long now until you can hang up your boots and concentrate on shagging full-time.

I assume he's been signed on a 6 month contract (same length as was remaining with us)?

 

[Silverhatch]

Surprised Dyche didn’t get him in for The Toffees. Good luck big Shane.
