see you say that but it just comes across as desperate. its a real fall from grace for duff, in fact quite disastrous, and yes i know the argument, if he's still doing it it in the green then it doesnt matter how he plays for his club blah blah blah blah(so much for players like fahey having to 'prove' themselves in England right?)
last campaign for him to be honest. should be good to see him in the loi in the next couple of years thowill defo get brays gates up
should have joined liverpool in 2006 or left england altogether. but greed took over.

He plays on the right. Matt Jarvis is their left winger. He's not too bad (not as good as Knightly) but I reckon Duffer is definitely better.
Anyone that says Duff wouldnt make the Wolves or Burnley teams is a joker,he is still head and shoulders above anyone at either of those 2 clubs.He has been at a mess of a club for the last few years so its no wonder his club form hasnt been great but his International performances have been quality. Owen was probably worse than Duff at Newcastle but because of him being English with a reputation in the past he got a move to United where he will probably do well. If Duff got a similar move I still think he would be capable of playing in a Champions league team

Its really not that complicated!!!
And where exactly was Kevin Doyle last season? Don't think it makes any difference.Hard to believe that one of our best players will be playing in the english first division next season?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
ah come on now, are you telling me if duff tommorow said he was fed up living in england and said he wanted to return to ireland to play for the next few years you'd be adopting the same opinion? personallly i doubt it.
No I wouldn't because we don't have an internationals playing in the Eircom League. It's no big deal Duffer playing in the Championship. Many an international has done it before him, including Kevin Doyle.

plenty of U-21's, Glen Crowe, Jason Byrne, Colin Healy....
am i pushing my luck a bit?
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
well i believe your only saying that because you know its not going to happen while it looks quite like duff will be playing in the english second division next year.
if he was playing in ireland he'd still be the same duff, my reason for wanting him to move is out of pride i guess, i like to see irish players do well as they're representing ireland(part of the reason i wish the top irish players played outside england as well)
Exactly. I wish Irish players as much success as possible at club level. I think it's great to hear people finally coming around to the fact that Shay Given just may be the best in the premiership. Don't understand people saying all that matters is that they do well for Ireland.
i actually got that from you eirebhoy, in that post i was meant to write ''i remember a post from eirebhoy...'' just for the record
I hope he gets out of Newcastle pronto. Beaten 6-1 today by Orient. A complete shambles of a performance. He should take a pay cut and get out now (if that is possible)
From the first post in this thread....
...to this:
It's been quite the fall for Duffer. While I would not read any more into a heavy pre-season defeat than into a big pre-season win (their hammering of Darlington), it is as clear as day that unless Newcastle get things sorted off the pitch quicksnap then the playing staff won't stand a chance. Duff is going to be absolutely key to our chances of finishing in the top two spots in this group (and it irks me no end to hear people referring to our standing in the group as if a playoff place is a fait accompli, as many commentators and even players (such as Doyle) have done recently) and if he is to find form it means that either the club sort themselves out, or Duff walks. I'm sure Sunderland/Wolves would jump at the chance to take him. Duff has been excellent for Ireland in this campaign, but staying at Newcastle in their current state poses too great a threat to his form and confidence coming into the pivotal stage of our efforts at qualification.
Nice article about him in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/b...e-championship
I cant believe Newcastle have a $70,000 a week player like that. Maybe they are hopeful he starts with a bang, then they can raise the price to someone up there who has a player injury in the first few weeks of the season? But paying $70,000 a week, how long would they want to do that?
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
He has a contract for 70k a week - Newcastle can't just cancel it! Even if they want to.
I said previously in this thread he followed the money to the shambles of a club and got his just desserts.Football made him a multi millionaire and I'm sure he could have survived on around 50k a week at Liverpool. All this talk of staying loyal to NUFC is simply because he not going to get paid better anywhere else.
I will admit he has been a great servant ( and player) to Ireland and stilll has something to offer us.
"Worse, being less able to run away from defenders after outwitting them appears not only to have diminished him technically but also mentally, battering confidence that was first bruised when José Mourinho and Arjen Robben demonstrated that, even when he was in his prime, there were more explosive wingers than him around."
In Robben's first season Duff was the better player imo. He was regularly outscoring him in the ratings and Mourinho even said that everyone is talking about Robben when Duff has been his best player.
Just scored his first of the season.
