I preferred our Atari games console though. I loved our Speccy but we moved onto the 64 and never looked back ( I realise I was a traitor in the 80 computer wars, its OK if you want to ignore me :) ) anyway back to football, I thought this kid would've signed by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps our interest has alerted other clubs to his availability and he now has other options to consider(?). We'll know one way or the other soon enough.

Mostly it's club reps and agents. Look how badly Keogh was advised by his agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Will Duncan be presented as a big signing like a first team player or a signing for the under23s...I think it will be like a first team signing ....think this a big coup for us....good bit of business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder if they will try and sell this off as the striker we've been after to improve the team or whether this is a developmental player. I'd prefer the last, but I'd imagine there will be some investment in him and perhaps JHI will get a loan move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marriott is injured he even has a chance at involvement at the weekend, depending on fitness, with (I assume) JHI starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda what I'm interested to see as it's hard to tell where he falls in terms of development right now. After all just because he wasn't good enough yet to play for Fiorentina doesn't mean it won't be the case with his, he might be ready to go in this league. The main thing that would suggest to me though he probably isn't the striker we are looking for as first choice though is he doesn't at first glance fit the profile of striker we've been looking at so far.

If he came through our academy he'd have been introduced to the first team along side Buchanan, Bird, Knight, Sibley and Whittaker. Depending on how quickly he settles and adapts to Championship football he could be anywhere on the scale of Whittaker to Bird for first team involvement (based on last season appearances). From what I've seen of Trialist and Duncan at youth level, I'd put the latter ahead of the former... although Trialist has earned the right to be given a chance. 24 minutes ago, brady1993 said: The main thing that would suggest to me though he probably isn't the striker we are looking for as first choice though is he doesn't at first glance fit the profile of striker we've been looking at so far. It's clear he wants first team football. I don't think he'd have chosen to sign if he knew there would be 3 senior players ahead of him, as well as another U23 forward to battle for one position. However, it's possible that he's being brought in to compete for the role Sibley is playing - just off the CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a cocky, arrogant youth from Liverpool who thinks that he is the best and can score every time he has a chance. Let us hope that he is because that is exactly what we want and need. Bring it on Bobby, cult status awaits you. I remember Rooney snatching the ball off an experienced Man Utd player to take the free kick to get his first hat trick. Get to it, Bobby. Welcome to Derby.
