zico martin 84 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Apprently Duff has already turned Liverpool down, him and his agent a bit bizarre by all accounts, will be in Newcastle having his medical at some point today.

khay 8 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle are believed to be vying for the capture of Damien Duff. According to Sky Sports News, Chelsea have given Duff's agent permission to speak with the Premiership trio. Blues boss Jose Mourinho declared earlier this week that he would allow the Irishman to leave Stamford Bridge if the right offer came in, sparking immediate speculation about where he might go next. Tottenham expressed an interest in Duff some time ago as they tabled an unsuccessful £5 million bid. Spurs were expected to up the ante following Mourinho's comments but may now have to pull out all the stops with rival heavyweights Newcastle and Liverpool entering the race to snap up the winger. Magpies boss Glenn Roeder has been frustrated this summer in his attempts to attract top class performers to the North East, but has reassured fans that he is still hoping to strengthen. The whole club are in need of a boost following Alan Shearer's retirement and Michael Owen's injury, and a player of Duff's calibre would undoubtedly satisfy a demanding set of supporters. Their chances of landing the 27-year-old flyer could recede this weekend though if they were to crash out of Europe against Lillestrom. Liverpool's interest is the most surprising, with Reds boss Rafa Benitez insisting that his priority was the right side of midfield, not the left. However, the Spaniard is determined to turn his side into genuine Premiership contenders and is keen to take every opportunity to bolster his squad. Having already secured the likes of Craig Bellamy and Mark Gonzalez, it is evident that Benitez has put a lot of emphasis on pace, while the prospect of UEFA Champions League football could sway Duff towards Anfield. The situation is sure to become clearer over the coming days, as Duff, Chelsea and the three admirers all weigh up their next move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6307 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder has refused to confirm or deny his club's interest in Chelsea winger Damien Duff, who is wanted by Tottenham. The Magpies are understood to have entered into negotiations over a £10million swoop for the Republic of Ireland international. However, as he conducted his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of the Intertoto Cup clash with Lillestrom at the Arasen Stadium in Oslo, Roeder was giving nothing away. He said: "As you know, on a daily basis we are linked will all sorts of players. "I think if we were to sign every player that we were linked with, we'd be confident of taking on Chelsea next year for the Premiership. "It doesn't surprise me that we are linked with someone of quality, but you have to expect competition. "That suggests they are very, very good players anyway. You wouldn't want to be signing players that no-one else wants, would you?" Chairman Freddy Shepherd has been equally reticent and there has been no comment from Chelsea either. However, it appears that the Magpies have edged ahead of Spurs in the race to sign Duff, who cost the Blues £17million when he joined them from Blackburn three summers ago. Source: http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...1353571,00.html Given Roeder's insistance to immediately dampen down any rumours which are tabloid bullshit, I think we can safely deduce that we are seriously persuing Duff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 we are evens to sign Duff, whereas spurs are 4/7 to sign him, according to william hill. To be honest, I'm not bothered if we get him or not. I don't think he would make a significant differance to our team, not one worth 10 million. Rather have a striker for £7mill and a full back for £3mill, and a terry's chocolate orange for £1.69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
