Looks like Duff mught be on the way to us, Disco+£6m.
Not a bad player, although he looks like he's got Down syndrom..

Man Utd are preparing to part with £6m plus Yorke to get Duff, who is versatile enough to play upfront or on the left wing.
The arrival of 23-year-old Duff could give United more options, as Ryan Giggs could also be played alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy with Duff switching to a wider position.
Meanwhile, Blackburn are resigned to losing Duff, after contract negotiations broke down.
Rovers will be happy to reunite Andy Cole with Yorke, as the pair forged a formidable partnership at Old Trafford and perhaps can do the same at Ewood Park.

For the benefit of those who believe everything they read in the press, notice the complete lack of any sort of evidence pointing to this story being true, i.e. a quote from an official source. That means, it's utter shite!!
Still, I would welcome Duff signing, he has great potential and would be perfect cover for Giggs.
Although, as an Irishman I would like him to be at a Premiership club where he will get first team football week in week out because he is still young and developing and if he is benched a lot he won't reach his full potential. Therefore if he stays at Blackburn for a couple more seasons I'll be happy.

That means we have signed him just like we signed Nesta according to The Sun

It is a good buy, as he can fill in both on the flanks and up front

So Duff is worth about £12m then? Or maybe Disco is worth about 20p.
I guess Fortune will be on his way as well then.

This is interesting - a player who can play both flanks is exactly what we need IMO. IS he two footed or is he at least decent with his wrong foot?

he's certainly okay with the right, he's scored a number of goals for ballburn this year where he's cut in from the left wing and finished crisply with his right. that's correct, i said "crisply."
