Reports suggesting that Duffy will sign for Fulham on a permanent deal. Part of the reason is Fulham's desire to bring Cedric in on loan from Arsenal.
End Apartheid Now! One Team in Ireland!
No rules would allow for it but they'd then only have three senior CBs and one of them is linked with a move away.
Will be a similar situation as Randolph, Maguire, and Kevin Long. Fulham will sign him on a short term contract till the summer to get around the loan rule.
Isn’t that a premier league rule? Can’t championship clubs have more loans?
Yeah PL clubs can only have two from other English clubs at the one time but a max of four from English clubs in a season. Loans from abroad there's no limit I believe.
Clubs in the EFL can have as many as they want but only five are allowed be named in match day squads. Burnley will have eight if Obafemi is a loan signing.
Made his loan permanent till the summer when he'll be a free agent. Has made a grand total of four league appearances coming on in the 90th minute in each one and one EFL cup game against Crawley back in August.
Will be heading for the Championship next season I'd say. He doesn't have the all round game to be a Premier League centre back but I'd still expect him to be successful at Championship level.

Can see another PL team picking him up as back up cover and that might even be Fulham. Don't really agree with him not having the all round game to be a PL CB cause I doubt for one second Potter would have given him games in one of the top ball playing sides in the PL if he didn't have what's needed for the PL.
Potter moved him on and Fulham don't seem willing to trust him in a PL game either. Maybe there are lower PL teams who could accommodate a Duffy-type player. Everton perhaps?
The financial power of Premier League clubs now means that, if you have any obvious flaws in your game, teams will just pass on you and spend £20m on someone else without a second thought. Looking at the spending stats for Premier League clubs vs the rest of world football in January the disparity is off the charts now. Even La Liga and Serie A are just nowhere near to competing.
There's almost nobody left in the league who will want or need to accommodate a 31 year old centre back who is as uncomfortable on the ball as Duffy is. Everton probably the only ones and that's purely down to Dyche - and they might get relegated anyway.

I'd like to see him go play in Italy, Spain or Germany. He's plenty good enough.
18 of the 20 biggest value transfers in January were to English teams. None of the 20 were to Italian, Spanish or German teams. The European Super League is happening by its own accord.

Man City case is getting very interesting now. PL has no natural incentive to prosecute one of its biggest attractions, nor is it an organisation with any great interventionary ethos. Richard Scudamore, ex-CEO of the PL, said on Newsnight after City were first sanctioned by UEFA “it’s hard to say they’ve done anything wrong” - context being they’ve spent money locally but ignoring whether their spending was within established rules - showing just how relaxed the PL was about its financial dominance in Europe.
