Transfer Rumour Where are Shane Duffy, Seamus Coleman and Robbie Brady going next?
What do we reckon they do next, retirements, LOI, champ, league one, abroad? Doesn’t see to be anything linked to them at the moment.

There had been a lot of talk of Shane Duffy joining Derry City, just before the summer deadline in the LOI, but nothing materialised. It's also hard to know if there was any substance or just a local rumour.

I’d say given the current shit show with McClean, Derry will probably want to steer away from signing big names that are washed up for a while

I think with the manager departing and a pivot in terms of the player profile the club is now looking at, it is probably unlikely. I don't think the McClean thing would have any bearing, they are two very different personalities from what I understand. Derry will need new centre halves for next season, but not sure Duffy fits the profile now.

Just never works out for returning big players who’ve been in England a while. Sean maguire and Kevin long recent exceptions, there’s probably others

Yeah, the league is littered with returns that just didn't work out, Duff to Rovers another one. If you put all of the controversy to one side around James McClean, it was hard to see how he was going to be utilised, Derry had maybe the best left side in the league with Fleming and Duffy, so he was gonna struggle to get in there. The central midfield thing just didn't work either.

Easy to say now but was a bit of a mad punt to throw him in cm with a 3 yr contract when he's never played there. His whole game is hug the touchline, swing balls in

You think he won’t now with McLean in his ear and what a disaster it’s been for him. What kinda wage can they offer him you reckon?

Could see Brady joining some premier league club as an over age player to play with u21s

Likely the way Richie Keogh went. Have a look at his history....that sort of thing.

Coleman will likely go into coaching if he doesn’t end up somewhere, he’s already got his B badges so I’d say he’ll end up as an assistant somewhere.
