Ambitious Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) The build up to our Championship relegation has seen us get linked with £45k-a-week central defender, Shane Duffy. Celtic loanee Duffy wanted by Rooney if Derby stay up - Sources (footballinsider247.com) It's got to make you laugh. I'm assuming as these are the guys that first reported a number of later-substantiated stories in the summer and January that they get a pass on this which seems utterly maddening. https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-rooney-sets-sights-on-signing-45k-a-week-celtic-loanee-if-Derby-stay-up/ Edited May 5, 2021 by ThePrisoner Added link Abu Derby and IslandExile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Got him mixed up with that fella from Boyzone. Both are mad suggestions, it's the Derby Way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone thinks Wazza should stay in his post, that should be enough to make you change your mind..... AutoWindscreens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Take a 95% pay cut, be inspired by Wayne Rooney and have all corner routines aimed at him. I don't see how he could possibly refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olton Ram Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Is he any good at zonal defending? If so, he's not our kind of player. DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldben Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Duffy is 29 years old, fits the Derby way that put us in the relegation zone. To many older ex premier league players who don't perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 If we could get him here on reasonable terms he’s exactly the type of player we need. Solid, tough, good in the air and a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JfR Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I do rate Duffy in the correct sort of system. His biggest issue at Celtic is that he's completely the wrong sort of defender for the high line system that they use. Having said that, he's also had one of the worst individual performances I've ever seen a player have when he was at Blackburn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Rangers fan, that's what you would expect due to lack of pace being his obvious weakness, but the many goals he has cost them haven't had anything to do with pace, just incompetence. He's had calamitous performances against everyone from Sparta Prague to St Mirren. It's anyone's guess how he carved out a career for himself in the EPL.
