    Duff commits to Chelsea

     

    By Jonathan Stevenson

     

     

     

    Damien Duff's career statistics

    Chelsea winger Damien Duff has ruled out a move to Liverpool and confirmed his desire to stay at Stamford Bridge.

     

    The Irish winger has been linked with a move back to the north-west after Chelsea signed Arjen Robben to compete with Duff for the left-wing spot.

     

    But Duff's agent Pat Devlin told BBC Sport: "Damien is very happy at Chelsea and cannot wait to start the season.

     

    "It's nonsense to suggest he wants to go back to the north-west, there's no way he wants to leave."

     

     

    He added: "Damien has just recovered from a bad shoulder injury and isn't thinking about anything but playing for Chelsea."

     

    Liverpool were thought to be interested in Duff after Vladimir Smicer was ruled out for six months and due to long-term concerns over Harry Kewell.

  2. The Porto midfield was simply more fluid and creative, If I'm honest we still need 2 decent midfielders or we'll struggle to break down teams again at Anfield. The service to the strikers was non-existant and we resorted to hoofing it very early on.

     

    But Rafa will learn more about his squad in defeat.

  3. Thing to remember is,he is bringing players that he wanted to strengthen a championship winning side, before he moved. Homework's been done.........

     

    Thing to remember is, Houllier also deluded himself that promising players can close the gap on better teams. It can't. For every hit there's three misses.

     

    There is no substitute for class and if Cisse is going to pull the trigger he's going to need better supply than our current midfield is capable of supplying.

     

    I'm not getting on Rafa's case but I pray he's goes out for somebody who can stamp his authority on the team rather than 'might be better than Finnan'.

  4. I'm sceptical as it all seems to be snow-balling from one poster on another site. When the two big Spanish clubs fancy a player then tend to try and publicaly unsettle him but I've heard nowt attributed to Laporta.
