Championship - Agent dismisses Duff Burnley link

Eurosport - Sat, 13 Jun 12:33:00 2009

Damien Duff's advisor has dismissed reports linking the Newcastle winger with a move to Barclays Premier League newcomers Burnley.

Damien Duff Newcastle NOT IN UK - 0

Speculation in Duff's native Ireland has this week suggested that the Clarets, Aston Villa and Wolves are going head-to-head in the chase to sign the former Blackburn favourite.

But Duff's long-term advisor Pat Devlin insists there is no truth in the reports of interest from Burnley or any other club.

"No, he's still under contract at Newcastle and that would be his first port of call," Devlin told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"I think someone's winding up the Burnley fans because he's a Blackburn fella!"

  3. Get a lot of the overpaid @#$% off the wage bill and­ offer Bassong the captain's arm band and 10 times­ his current wage to stay. To do any of that though we­ actually need someone running the club.

  10. Why do midlands fans always say up the villa or up the­ blues or up the baggies, whats this up, is this some­ kind of gay talk the rest of the country dont­ understand?

    what are you doing here anyway; this is an­ NUFC story!
    You aren't even the biggest club in the­ Midlands; got the worst fans though . . . . . simply­ despicable!
    Can't wait 'til next season when­ you won't even finish in the Top-8, and your­ manager leaves.

  12. dont forget now,
    rush out and buy your season­ ticket,its going to be an exciting season for nufc,a­ new beggining.new owners,new manager,new team,new­ supporters its looking good,haway the lads.

  13. hey why are newcastle still in the premier league­ section on yahoo, duff should go after all he did send­ you down! why would any of your big players stay when­ its the world cup next summer, because international­ sides dont usually pick players from the lower leagues.­ martins only wants to stay cause he gets paid loads for­ not doing his job! and scoring goals.

    From upthevilla, on Sun 14 Jun 10:29AM

  14. The "Chelsea Bummers" got the best out of him­ and now he is only a shadow of his former self, cant­ run, tackle, pass, head, score, cross, dribble, a bit­ like that other "Donkey" Ameobi, we should­ take 2 mill for this cheat and run, hes blantently­ finished!

    Au contraire!
    Do you think new owners will­ need to sell; you are talking out of your backside­ man!
    New owners (unlike the idiot ashley) will be­ investing, what's the point in buying a club only­ to have to orchestrate a 'firesale' in order to­ keep the wolf from the door - you really are talking­ absolute drivel . . . . . even by your standards, your­ 'argument' just falls flat on its face!
    Think­ about it man; your problem is that you are terrified in­ case there is a renaissance at NUFC thus bringing a­ crushing end to your very, very short ­ 'moment'!

  18. Expect whoever takes over (end of July looks like being­ the earliest this might happen) to look at off-loading­ all players on more the 25 grand a week, that's­ gonna be one helluva "Fire Sale", in terms of­ number of players affected.

  19. he can do a job....what on mega bucks u r kiddin arnt­ you!!!!

  20. Three weeks untill pre-season training and absolutely­ nothing is happening at the Toon.
    If they stick with­ the players they`ve got, I`m dreading the next season.
