bluenose_72 198 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 £4m Fulham have completed the signing of Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff for an undisclosed fee from Newcastle United. Duff had emerged as a target for the Cottagers last week and the club have spent the past few days finalising a reported £4million deal. The former Chelsea wide man has agreed a three-year contract with Roy Hodgson's side and is looking forward to playing in the Premier League again. "I am happy that my move to Fulham has been completed and look forward to joining in with the rest of the squad's training programme immediately, in preparation for two important home matches this week," Duff told the club's official website. "Fulham had a fantastic season last year and I know that having spoken to the manager in recent days that the club's ambitions remain high and I am looking forward to the challenges ahead." Duff played under Hodgson during his early days at Blackburn Rovers and the Fulham boss is keen to work with the 30-year-old again. Hodgson said: "I am delighted to add a player of Damien Duff's calibre to our squad, and welcome the further midfield options he provides us with. "I have known Damien for over a decade since he broke into the first team at Blackburn when I was manager, so I'm fully aware of his qualities and I am looking forward to working with him again."

Danny 9 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The question really is how long can Newcastle hold onto the rest of their Premiership calibre stars. They still have Guiterez and Collocini...who else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have Guiterez and Collocini...who else? Coloccini has to be one of the worst defenders I've ever seen. They need to get shot of him if they want to get promotion IMO. But now that Duff has gone, they are spiralling down the same as Leeds did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Bit of a risk IMO, injury prone and never brings back that form he had at Blackburn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
