    A victory for the little man?

    Duff stays

    Personally i think its good for football in general, to have many clubs with good players, than all the good plyers bankrolled by the few at the top.

    It makes for a better spectacle too, as the league is more competitive when a club with a bigger checkbook cannot just roll in, unsettle the plyer with a few newspaper leaks, and then just buy 'em.

    Fair play to Duffer, you showed a bit of character in choosing to stay!

    Bugger! I always said the lad lacked ambition... ;)

    (on the qt, I'm quite impressed he's willing to stick with a mid-field
    side, just wait a year or two though!)

    I'm glad that Duff is staying at Blackburn. I think a year or two more there will do him good. If he moved to United he would probably be playing 2nd fiddle to Ryan Giggs for a year or two and well Liverpool has been a bit of a graveyard in recent years for Irish players.

    Also I think Blackburn are going to have a good season this year. They have 2 strikers that already have a understanding and well the midfield they have is one of the best young midfields in the Premiership. These guys are going to shock a few big teams this year (please not Arsenal, please not Arsenal :)).

    Someone answer me this...

    Blackburn want 20 millon for Duffer...

    So they give him a phat new contract, and £30 grand a week. Good stuff. But they <according to the sun, so pinch of salt mode> put a 12 million get out clause in the contract. So anyone offering 12 million gets to speak to him.

    That makes no sense, now Liverpool/Man Ywe can get him for £12 million.....!

    Or is it just me....

    Gand : Agreed about Blackburn, they are deffo on my list of teams to catch whenever I can when they are in London. Cant wait to see them play West Ham, the best two young Midfields and worst two defences ;)

    If the above is true i guess Blackburn wouldn't say no to Duff leaving if he wanted to and the offer was over £12mil. This just means that Duff wanted to stay at Blackburn for the moment which we all already knew.

    It means Blackburn wont say no to him leaving in the future if he wants to.
