Shane Duffy

Needs a move 

Shane signed a new five year deal a couple of years ago which does not expire until 30/6/23. It reflected the confidence Chris Hughton had in him and the partnership with Dunk was widely seen as Brighton's principal strength. He deserves first team football and if he's not going to get it with Potter he should seek a move. He would improve some Premiership defences-including Brighton's at the moment, it has to be said.

Joel Veltman after signing for Brighton, surely Shane Duffy will be moving on

Veltman's more of a RB I thought. It's Ben White Duffy should be most worried about.

It would be absolutely criminal if Duffy was playing Championship football next year. More than good enough for most PL sides and decent ones like West Ham Crystal Palace or Everton should be all over him.

Duffy is the type of centre back they def don't need. He would get less game time at Leeds than Brighton.

Veltman is an exquisite signing for that mindset, unfortunately for Duffy he's played under 2 dinosaurs and an okay'ish manager in Hughton which is entirely against Potter's philosophy simple as.  I dare say Potter rates Duffy very highly, but he puts distribution over any other attribute in his central defenders. It's a managerial thing, people come in and have their own way which players can't do and that's it, sometimes it happens in football. I think Duffy would benefit from a move at a club like Burnley - Competition, leaders either side of him, not a over-expectant way of playing as a defender, and more importantly, they're very short on numbers as of typing.
