James Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 What the haters forget about Duff is the injury he has come back from. His foot injury was three times worse than a broken foot, and it takes players with a broken metertarsal months to find form. For me, Duff's problems have all been mental and physical, not technical, and if a preseason under KK can sort this out, we could yet have a very good player in our hands. It's a fair point, but he was crap before the foot injury aswell... Nope, he was playing intermitently alongside a forward line that didn't suit his assets.

Sorry, but that's such a silly statement. You could apply the same to Viana, Luque, Bassedas, Kluivert, Marcelino, etc, etc. Difference being that Duff has done it before in the Premier League. We know what player can be found if Keegan can find his way around some of the issues that have blighted Duff's form over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Guthrie was the best player when he came on IMO. He looks like a more urgent and aware version of Milner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner is wank when he gets anywhere near the penalty area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing on the wing and playing shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Duff may have got a hat-trick today btw but it was still the same old Duff, couldn't beat the full-back, lethargic as fuck, no spark at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing on the wing and playing s***. I think when Duff came here his confidence was dented after seeing Roben take his Chelsea place and him spending a lot of time on the bench. He then had a really bad injury which would have set him back. Keegan is a great man manager and gives plares condifence, anyone remember Keith Gillespie? I can't see this season being any worse than last season, would love to get a couple more players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Despite his hat trick he is a poor player now. Hartlepool are hardly world beaters. He has lost his legs, his best attribute. Can't beat his man, and his delivery is hardly great either. I would still get rid if have the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i mean, he was coming out last season saying he loves it at Newcastle, wants to finish his career here and is in the best shape of his career, and all that jargon - yet he was still shite.
