Shane Duffy

Is he going on loan to Middlesborough?

20toffees · January 16, 2013

if we bring in another CB i def think he should go out on loan. hes not benefiting from hanging out on the bench week in and week out. he showed last year that he has what it takes to play at this level. but until old age hit distan im afraid he wont get his chance.

Apparently the coaching staff think his distribution isn't good enough yet. Needs some more tutelage from Jags in the art of Hoofball.

Moyes bigging him up in the Echo. Made up for the lad, I truly think he is the real deal.

Sounds like he might finally be above Heitinga in the pecking order. Thank god! I'd play him with Distin against Oldham and put Jags right back if Coleman isn't fit.

Good shout

I like Duffy. He needs more game time as well, I don't remember him doing anything wrong.

He's sound, Shane.

You'd forgive a lad like him making mistakes too, not unlike bloody Heitinga and Neville...the two most experienced players in our back line.

Havent seen enough of him, ehat I have seen (Orient game).

Looked like an old fashioned english centre half. Good at headers, slow, Hoofball, not comfortable in possession.

But thats one game

Pretty much my view - if the opportunity is there, I'd play him.

Here's the link if anyone wants to see it:

Hopefully this means he'll get a bit more game time now. I like the lad Duffy.

Cant see any actual quotes in there from Moyes.

Ffs don't ruin it lad!

I'd like to see him get some game time though, looks like a decent player and a likeable lad. He can't be worse than Heitinga and he's going to need to be playing now and again as Distin is 35 and won't have much more in him for long.

Really thought he should've got the last 30mins against Cheltenham when the game was sown up, the break would've been good for Distin.

I've been impressed by him when he has played, need to find out just how good he is and bed him into the side, could save a fortune. Quite possible Jags, Distin and Heitinga will all be gone in two seasons time.
