CONFIRMED Mark Duffy signs

[Tunstall Fred]

Why are fans so obsessed with age.

Players lose a bit of pace and will take longer to recover from injury, but for the most part players get better with age, so having player at or beyond 30 is a good thing, but fans seem to want to have teams full of 21 year olds. fucking mental

Sorry for dragging this up Bridgeford, always liked your posts , but Duffy has been transformed by a top class manager. "We're goin' on a journey, to the fuckin' prem"

No worries dragging it up pal. I got it wrong with him, whenever I've seen him play for you lot he's looked a real threat.

*edited to add, I fully agree with the top class manager bit as well. Chris has really surprised me I thought he was good but didn't recognise he's actually a genius. The more I listen to him the more I like him.

Second impression Barney ?

First impression; underwhelmed with this one.

I see a Ben Davies Mk II.

Wilder has done it with a few players, Coutts, Freeman, Wright, Clarke, Basham and Duffy stand out. The plan seems to be to concentrate really hard on what they are good at and stop them having to do things they aren't that good at.

Wish I was as good at managing people in my job.

I hope all is well with you. I think you are a strong person who deserves praise for your approach and the way things have turned out.

Clearly, your approach is not for me, Red and White through and through, but I understand where you are coming from

Imagine my excitement seeing a 'Confirmed' in the threads, you're a badstar B67.
edit: original word seemed a bit harsh

Actually I don't think you did get it wrong. I think the major difference is that since joining the Blades, Duffy has made better decisions more often. He still sometimes loses it or picks the wrong pass, but what hasn't changed and what is key for me, is that he doesn't hide and keeps wanting the ball. There's been many times where he's even got back to cover his own mistake - and that's the other aspect that would be really difficult to replace, his work rate, especially in that position.
