Duffy was a hit at Hartlepool – scoring 5 goals in 10 appearances – and Wilson admits that, despite missing out last summer, he has tried since to bring Duffy back to the North East.<\/p>\n
There were rumours in January that they had a bid accepted for the player but he elected to stay at Swansea and Wilson has not suggested that anything is in the pipeline ahead of the window closing tonight.<\/p>\n
Duffy played in Monday evening's 2-2 draw with Bristol Rovers and is in line for a start on Saturday afternoon against Wilson's side. "We are always interested in good players. Whether we can get them or not is another matter." Wilson told the Hartlepool mail<\/p>\n
"Darryl is a very good player. We have tried to get him a couple of times but we have not been able to.<\/p>\n
"He played very well for us in that loan spell and we know he is a threat.<\/p>\n
"Swansea play a certain system, which makes opportunities difficult to come by, but he came on at half-time against Bristol Rovers and helped to change the game.<\/p>\n
"I don't know what Roberto's thoughts are but as a general rule, you don't change a winning team.<\/p>\n
"You have to say they have done well without him in the side and I don't think there will be any argument from Darryl about that – the form of Scotland has just been fantastic."<\/p>\n
Both sides were in the hunt for Duffy last season but it was Swansea who won the battle in the summer when they paid £200,000 to secure his services but Duffy has not scored a league goal since September and only one goal in all competitions since then – against Brighton in the JTP back in January<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
