Anag Ram Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 7 minutes ago, Big Trav said: I’ve just done some deeper digging of bobby Duncan. He’s small at 5”9 but has the bullish approach that waggy has and like tevez had. He has tremendous work rate and will press the back like. He’s also relatively quick not lightning fast like jozwiak but I’d say he’s probably as quick as marriott at least. He has quick feet and is good at dribbling and his passing range in unbelievable. Him and glatzel knew where eachother were 24/7. His positioning for a striker is off natural instinct which you can’t teach. He’s just in the right place at the right time and will score easy tap ins but he can also strike from distance. Mainly left footed it seems but can also use his right reasonably well and surprisingly for a small lad he can head a ball very well. His hold up play isn’t great but I’d say he’s a very good fit for the sort of interchanging system that we’re trying to play. He’s a younger quicker waghorn imo which is class. Every teams needs a player like him I agree with all you say but with the caveat that what we can see on video is him playing against kids. We still need to see whether he can do it in the championship where there's less time and space and a lot of physical defending. I think he probably can and will have fingers crossed for him when he makes his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’ll be a tough adjustment for him but I think he has the right style to be able to cope with the championship. It’ll just take him time and patience but then he could be a real asset. Also depends on his mentality which has been questioned before. It’s a very low risk with potentially extremely high rewards. Love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Ram Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Taken one for the team and had a look at the DET update from today’s press conference and in essence Cocu is saying it’s down to finalising details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Also here: Cocu also addressed, earlier in the presser, that Duncan is indeed not 'the' striker target. Very much coming in as a prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 According to Steve Nicholson fro the press conference: Cocu: “It is up to last details, that is why we cannot announce anything or discuss any progress at the moment. He hasn’t played or trained for some time, either, so that has to be sorted. If it works out with Duncan in the end, I am happy to discuss and then talk about it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I wonder what details there can posibly to sort out, and whether these are details with him or his current club? I don't want to be all grumpy or speculate too wildly, but you wouldn't think his contract would be particularly tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be how to structure the deal with Fiorentina, as we won't want to pay a fee and they will want to get some money back for him, either now or in the future, for the £2m they paid to Liverpool. I'd imagine it'll end up being a free transfer, with Fiorentina receiving the first £2m of any future sale, plus some sort of sell-on % above £2m.

Millenniumram Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Wonder if they maybe picked up something during a medical that they want to look at further? That would certainly cause a delay, and would explain “fitness issues”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
