Smalley Ram Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Young players that we have released have never gone on to play for a "better" team and usually drop down the leagues. i.e, they don't make it else where either Micky Forsyth - didn't he come from your lot?

Smalley Ram Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just checked - yes he did. So you have let a young player go who has joined a better team and from memory did rather well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Young players that we have released have never gone on to play for a "better" team and usually drop down the leagues. i.e, they don't make it else where either Lloyd Dyer hasn't done bad for himself... But, I do have to admit that's the only one I can think of. Fortunately, Allan spent a lot of his development with Dundee so there's always that.

Srg Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is apposed to WBA's extensive list of players they've sold who've gone onto better things. Doesn't look good in either light does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryDCFC Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If it's his attitude that's the issue then McLaren will soon sort that out! We all saw that he sent Bennett off to Chesterfield because of his attitude last season. It showed him who was boss and how difficult it is to get into a team even in that sort of division. That said we know full well that if his attitude does stink then we will treat him in very much the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't think it had anything to do with his attitude. (I am a tiny bit ITK with Mason - that's not saying I know a lot, but I do hear some info) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If it's his attitude that's the issue then McLaren will soon sort that out!

That said we know full well that if his attitude does stink then we will treat him in very much the same way I would imagine Bennetts loan spell was more to do with aiding his development than him being disruptive to the squad. The lads been in and around the first team squad for the last couple of years and, even with the best will in the world, it's easy to start getting a touch complacent when he should be upping his work rate as he develops. The loan spell was probably a gentle reminder of the work needed to hold down a place at DCFC but at the same time it was likely a planned step as part of his development.

WBA FC Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Lloyd Dyer hasn't done bad for himself... But, I do have to admit that's the only one I can think of. Fortunately, Allan spent a lot of his development with Dundee so there's always that. Allan was dropped mid-way through the season by Blues due to his lack of work rate. Lloyd Dyer, the player you had on trial but opted not to sign, that went on to Millwall, MK Dons, Leicester and Watford. Marcus Haber is another player we signed and never got to play a game with us.

Baggie79 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just a bit of information on Scott Allan. Firstly he is a very good footballer who if he applied himself correctly could easily shine in the Premiership and I think you should sign him but you must also consider the following: His attitude absolutely stinks He has serious fitness issues Mentally not 100% after putting someone in critical condition by running them over If you believe you can fix these issues then definitely sign him as he will be absolute class if right.

Scottishguy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Scott Allan is known to be a bit of a moan/party guy/ lack of work ethic in training but he's very very talented! If yous get him for free its no risk & if yous get him to keep his head down it'll be well paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Don't want him if he's going to cause trouble. I don't care how talented he is, he can't be worth disrupting the squad for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think if he was to sign, it would be because he has shown his talent in training and would be worth a go consdiering he is on a free...also the fact he has played with Russell before at Dundee Utd and also knows Thorne (when he signs) from his time at WBA so hopefully those 2 could help him settle and get his head screwed on.

How does he know Thorne? Thorne was injured and then out on loan, meanwhile Allan was out on loan. But don't let facts get in the way of clutching straws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
