How do ya know

I've heard otherwise ... He will get an improved contract if he impresses Roberto .. Apparently he watched most of his games for yeovil which he never put a foot wrong ..he's never john stones level tho

I tell you what, IF he does make it, there will be some vaulting gold in here, like.

there wont, cause HE wont

Has he deleted these posts or something? On his twitter but can't see them. James McClean saying about him not playing haha, hope he is given a fair chance next season though, would be great to see him put doubters to bed

I think centre back, more than any other position than goal keeper, is as much about judgement and ability to read the game as it is natural ability.

Carragher is the most obvious example. When he first broke through, I didn't give him a chance of a career lasting at Liverpool, and I didn't think that was bias either. But he stuck at it, as he grew he read the game well and whatever deficiencies he had with pace or ability on the ball, he covered for very well.

You could say the same about Terry, when he first broke through, I expected his Chelsea career to follow a similar path to Jody Morris, I thought he had too many limitations to make it as a top centre back.

And the other side of that argument, on paper Titus Bramble had everything you'd want in a centre half and everyone knows what his career has been like.

I'm not saying I'm sure Duffy will make it, but he has enough decent attributes that there is potential there.

I hope Duffy makes it. I remember when Moyes was forced to play him one season for a few games 2011 maybe? when we had an injury crisis in defence and I though he was quite good. Obviously he's not really been given a chance since then but it would be nice to see him get some playing time and prove himself.

I think the one thing he has in his favour is that Martinez will give him a chance to impress in pre-season. Martinez wants the team to be adaptable so it helps to have a variety of playing styles.
As good as Distin is he isn't exactly a skilled footballer (although he has rapid pace on his side) but he hasn't been embarrassed by the new style of play.
If Duffy works hard on what the manager wants, keeps himself fit and is prepared to be 4/5th choice with Alcaraz he will get game time, he just has to use it well.

Not good enough, doesn't have the qualities required to be in a Martinez team.

 

[RaleighBlue]

He's still very young for a CB.

With any luck he'll develop a very good ability to read the game and can cover for when Stones bombs forward.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He's ready, he just needs his one chance and he'll grab it
