The statement we made about the Barron fiasco makes even more sense in light of these developments. 1 Quote

We're probably only ever likely to get two or three youth players coming through that will make it in any one batch. I think Pirie and now Carrol are two that didn't even make the bench yet (maybe they did, I can't remember, no minutes though). That's basically an entire year group of youth ruled out. Quote

Still, you can't blame the lad. He's probably grinning like a Cheshire cat at what his bank balance is going to show in the morning. I hope for his sake he doesn't end up wistfully staring through the looking glass at what might have been though. Quote

We're they getting 50% of sell-ons? Glad he's gone though. Can we throw in Ambrose as a bonus? Quote

Elgindon Posted Monday at 21:30 Report Posted Monday at 21:30 Duk,...what a waste.Slightly gutted Youth players - If theyre seeing the chances of even getting on the bench as remote,weighing it up,probably makes sense(to them/parents) to grab what they can down South Quote

Eighteen months of unprofessionalism and just generally being shite, alongside eighteen months of hope that the original Duk might return. It was all too much. 2 Quote

Seriously though, Lewis was always going to head south given the level of interest - we did well to sign him up to a pro deal last year and (hopefully) secure a decent fee. Duk seems a decent deal too, could've left for free this summer and yet we've manage to recoup most of what we paid for him and stick on a sell-on to boot. Edited Monday at 21:55 by OxfordDon Quote

Reekie_Red Posted Monday at 22:56 Report Posted Monday at 22:56 Hopefully JT gives him priority on the field, and doesn't keep sharing the #9 time equally amongst him, Ambrose (who should be Duk's surprise +1 in that deal) and Nisbet (who just hasn't worked out for us) Quote
tlg1903 Posted Monday at 23:02 Report Posted Monday at 23:02 Well, Thelin can't say he hasn't been backed by the board. We seem to have largely signed in the right places at least. 1 Quote

No word yet but interesting AFC haven't made a statement to say transfer business is complete. Believe if papers have been lodged with the relevant associations then you get until midnight to complete Guess the same applies to Duk as no confirmation of this one either Quote
