Duff linked to Ewood return

 

 

July 29, 2008

 

Newcastle United winger Damien Duff could well be on his way back to the club where he made his name as Blackburn Rovers are reported to be interested in the Irish international.

As David Bentley looks set for a move to Spurs as they splash the cash gained from the transfer of Duff’s international teammate Robbie Keane to Liverpool, the Ewood outfit have moved swiftly to find a replacement.

 

Although a naturally left winger, Duff has been deployed on the right wing by Chelsea, Newcastle and Ireland on occasions with moderate success.

 

Rovers’ manager Paul Ince is keen to make the 27-year-old his first major signing since taking over from Mark Hughes and the Blackburn fans would love to see Duff back at the club.

 

The ’95 Premiership champions will receive in the region of €20 million for Bentley from Spurs and Duff would cost them in the region of €8 million.

 

The Dubliner has not had the best of times since moving to Newcastle as injury has severely hampered his career in the past two seasons, but he has looked impressive during pre-season.

We should've got Eagles like. He'd have chosen us over Burnley. Even if he is a bit shite.

 

Henderson played well on Saturday btw

 

He'll do very well with Beattie/Sharp up front. £2M is a more than reasonable fee though, for someone who'll never be better than Championship standard. We don't seem to have/be getting a replacement which is worrying, because we haven't had replacements for King/Ellington either.

Just seen Chris Eagles getting interviewed on SSN after joining Burnley.

 

I am right in thinking Chris is a girl arent I ?

Those manicured eyebrows and that fucking hairband. What a fucking nonce

spurs are gonna be far to light in midfield with that team like. They are starting to look well lopsided

 

Two injury prone central defenders, no proper left winger still, no defensive midfielder, losing their best strikers and the whole team is fairly light weight. They have a very soft spine. There's still a lot of work for them to do imo.

They've also sold one of their best players to the very team they're trying to catch...which baffles me tbh.  :uglystupid2:

Nicko has something right:

 

By the way...

 

Bentley to Tottenham...Robinson to Rovers...Friedel to Villa.

 

All in one Mirror story on July 14 - and all denied on Sky TV later that same evening.

 

Hardly revelations were they though?

All involved Blackburn, which tbf to him he does get the majority of their transfers right.

 

His record isn't that good for other clubs though.

Arsenal fan on another forum reckons they've got a 25% sell-on clause so will get about £4m from the Bentley transfer.
