Moyes Contemplates Sending Duffy on Loan

Everton manager David Moyes has indicated his desire to send promising centre-half, Shane Duffy, on loan. The 18 year old Irish defender has experienced his fair share of drama despite his youth and Moyes is keen to send the player on loan, now that he has fully recovered from his life-threatening injury, in order to further his education as a footballer. Moyes said:

“I'd like to put Shane out on loan. We've been keeping an eye on him at first (since his injury) and keeping him indoors. He's very good in the air though, and could have come on against Crouch (at White Hart Lane). If we find the right club he could go on loan.”

Interestingly, Moyes recently rejected an offer from League Two outfit Northampton Town to take Duffy on loan, which suggests that Moyes would prefer Duffy to experience a higher standard of football. Nevertheless, any such move is sure to be tremendously benficial to the promising young defender and both Ireland and Everton fans will be paying close attention to any potential move.
