WIP = ITK?

When somebody (UKR?) went to the trouble of posting that list of players we'd already been linked with by the media, was this bloke on it?

Wasn’t me

Otamendi allegedly available for just 8m from Citeh. He's far from perfect but very hard to do better at that money, would be a far better option than Hause anyway.

He's a terrible CB, his performances for Argentina indicate his real level away from Man. City system protecting CBs (and he still has more bad than good games for them).

Rumoured going back to Valencia anyway.

Terrible is pushing it just a bit. He's not perfect, as I said in my OP, but he's still better than Hause, as I also noted already.

Haha well better than Hause is a very low bar indeed. So is Shane Duffy (wink).

If we sign S Duffy can we call him Tin Tin and sing 'Kiss Me' to him?

I thought he was the one who was in Boyzone and then ended up in Coronation Street.

Don't think so, think it was Everton? But my GP did save his life - true story.

Didnt we have a a Duffy, after Daryl, who played a few games then we sold him to Millwall, I think. Australian.

I might have dreamed all this.

Shane Duffy available on loan. Celtic, West Ham, West Brom and Burnley interested.

I'd take him tbh. Experienced and we need someone like that alongside Mings since Chester couldn't start games any longer.

Milk turns quicker....avoid. Smith wants a ball player at the back too which is the reason Duffy lost his spot at Brighton.

Surely all the goals we concede from crosses is more of a concern to correct? Even in the improved run at the end of the season we let in 5ft 7 in Theo Walcott ghost in at the back post to head in.

Getting in an aerially dominant CB alongside Mings should be a target for this summer. Duffy is much better than Hause for a start if we're on about ball playing CBs.

Duffy is excellent in the air but it wasn't the fault of the right sided centre back for that Walcott header either way. Being better than Hause on the ball is something every senior player at our club can boast, including the keepers!

Duffy has his uses don't get me wrong. Excellent from set pieces for and against, Mings is very average in comparison. But he doesn't fit our style of play at all. I think we could reintegrate Engels instead and have possibly a better Duffy type centre back.


I rate Lewis Dunk higher than Shane Duffy. He chips in with the odd goal too.

That's the fella, I was a bit bemused when I thought there was a clamour to re-sign him. On account of him being a bit agricultural. And hopeless.

You'll be getting more than a warning if you keep it up.
