I'm in two minds about getting Duffy.

On one hand he is a nonsense defender which we definitely need, but on the other he can be clumsy and a bit rash (from the limited times I've seen him) which for me is a worry playing for us in SPL where we don't get away with too much.

Can of our Irish supporters or even just folk that have seen a bit more of him shed any more light on whether he'd be a good fit for us?

Av always liked him and he'd be a realky good signing.

I think the fact he is Irish is a reason some fans want him a CP I only watch Celtic so I don't know if he is good or bad but what I have noticed is their is a section of our fan base who would sign any player if they were Irish.

I thought Shane Duffy was in Boyzone.

Big Bobo was more than a bit rash but I loved the guy.

Ive watched him loads and i think he'd do very well for us, i think he'd run through a brick wall in commitment and the fact he will have a ball playing partner would be ideal. Can see him getting a few goals aswell. It would be a great signing and boost for the team. Sometimes one great challenge is all that's needed to spark the team.

We could do with someone with decent experience and maturity who " gets us" in the steohen McManus mould . this would be a nice blend with Ajer and Jullien

So for me it is about blend

Being irish is a mere bonus . the rashness may he a function of quality in EPL, ie he doesn't mean to be rash or is just that he is up against quicker, trickier players

In SPFL he will be able to kick lumps out of bigger, slower more static strikers ( when the ref is looking the other way and when the linesman isn't mister " red card red card RED CARD "

If Celtic are looking for a CB that will give us balance then he has to be left footed.

I am not worried about Duffy been a bit clumsy and a bit rough at times . We don’t have any real top players who would walk straight on to Bayern Munich team .
Instead we are trying to build a team in which every player can support and back each other up. Duffy’s powers in air in both boxes would compliment Julien v well and could be a player available in our price range.

I don't care if he's from Larkhall he will add a bit of strength to our defence. After watching our game during the week there was wide open spaces on a couple of occasions down the right side in the second half. Our next opponents will be a far harder tie and we can't give them that kind of space as they have 2 fast strikers.
