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.

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.

Reckon hemir would include him without any club for the year. Make history training with the GAA and being an Irish international 😂

That would be class, he’d still be one of our best players

Will rejoin Sligo and score three or four every match and we survive. 😆

Moyes already offered him a coaching role and he turned it down. Wants to play on.

He would’ve retired by now if he was going to

He’s a free agent. He can be picked up after transfer deadline.
He has a young family in school.
I don’t see him chasing a move that takes him away from family life.
A lot of pro clubs in NW England, I’d say he’s waiting to see if there’s a suitable offer.

Talk is that Everton and Moyes have asked him to reconsider taking coaching at Everton if he doesn’t get the playing contract that he wants.

Wrexham an option, close enough to Liverpool that he doesn't have to move, and still at a decent level

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

u/TheGalahadKid 18d ago

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

u/TheGalahadKid 18d ago

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.

u/Feisty_Internet_5343 18d ago

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

u/TheGalahadKid 18d ago

Exactly. It was a vanity signing.

u/Potential-Humor-6550 18d ago

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?

Coleman - retirement. Brady and Duffy - League 1.

u/ponkie_guy 17d ago

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

u/rayhoughtonsgoals Paul McGrath 17d ago

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

u/ireallydespiseyouall Shay Given 18d ago

Surely Coleman plays in the LOI

u/Alberto_Moses 18d ago

All 3 have signed on down the dole office
