i-Ram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lot of posts suggesting he is destined for the Under 23s. Doubt it. He will be in the first team squad. I suspect he is on broadly the same level as Sibley. If Bird, Buchanan, Whittaker and Knight are getting game time at 18 I would be greatly surprised if Duncan doesn’t.

Will probably have a game or 2 with the u23s, but I don’t think it will be long until he’s appearing in first team squads. Especially if Marriotts now injured.

I also imagine they were laughing their heads off when liverpool poached him from man city and didnt say a thing about that. Liverpool as a club and as fans do not like it when players leave for pastures new, especially if it is to a "bigger club" to potentially further their career. Just ask sterling. Again they said nothing when liverpool poached him from QPR.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raminphilippines Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Quote Why has he decided to join Derby? Duncan has been desperate to return to England after a disappointing year in Italy. A prolific goal scorer at academy level during his time at Liverpool, he attracted interest from a number of Football League clubs. Manager Phillip Cocu’s track record of developing young talent was key to his decision to sign for Derby and he’s enthused by the prospect of playing alongside fellow Scouser Wayne Rooney. He also probably noticed we have no one that can score a goal at the moment, so his chances of getting in the first team would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did occur to me, that it sounded like sour grapes because he hadn't stayed with them.

A lot of them seem to genuinely hate the lad (although it is Twitter, so anything goes) Honestly couldn’t care less about what them lot think. They hate Sergio Ramos because him and Salah fell over together. His agent or whoever was managing him at the time dragged his name through the mud, kicked up a fuss for whatever reason and it hasn’t paid off. If he’s got rid of him and has his head screwed on a bit better now, then he could do very well here and I’ll continue to not care a single bit about Liverpool fans. If he brings the attitude that he’s had at Liverpool and in Italy, then he won’t last long and he’ll be shipped off elsewhere for his career to continue its spiralling decline, it really is up to him.

Ambitious Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 3 minutes ago, Ambitious said: He was extremely well liked at Liverpool so could be a good prospect to bring into the team, initially in the youth team to develop. He played in only three losses for Liverpool's U18s (although scored or had an assist in all three) once to Man Utd where Greenwood was on the scoresheet, along with Garner who is now on loan at Watford. The other two were against our title winning Rams - Whittaker and Knight scored in both games. It seems like it could be a good signing for us, plenty of potential for us to develop. It's what Cocu is good at so it makes sense for us to try and give him a good base to work from. Think it might be worth mentioning that he played a game against Middlesbrough where Liverpool won 6-5 and in that game he had 4 goals and 2 assists. I'd love to see that performance by him - incredible. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 50 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: Would be a huge coup for the U23s this. Exactly the sort of recruitment we should be doing at academy level really, picking up the talents known to have massive potential, but who need a bit of work to get there for whatever reason. Big clubs might not be interested in him because of what happened when he left Liverpool, which leaves us with a big opportunity to pick him up and try and get his career back on track. He’s obviously a hugely talented player, arguably one of the most promising English youths, so he’d be a very exciting signing. Think this evidences the increase in stature of our academy as well - I suspect players like Duncan would choose to come here because they’ve seen lots of evidence of us developing young players and promoting them into the first team. Sounds very much like this one is happening, be very interesting to see how he develops. Exactly what you said, M etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 A victim to having the wrong type of people around him. Doesn't have the same agent anymore, so that's a start. If he's joining with the u23s in mind, they will see him right. We have the right environment for the young'uns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too but it was straight from Percy’s mouth so you’d imagine the club told him. Reality is, if he’s good enough he’ll be in the first team quick.

Ghost of Clough Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It'll be interesting to see what happens with Trialist if this is true. A loan out or will they be battling for 3rd choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His purchase though reflects again we are looking for low cost (potential higher return) players. Mel has very little wriggle room I suspect certainly without any guarantee of season ticket income.

And it's got to be a large part of the reason why he wants to come - he can see if he plays well he will get a game. After Dally and John the third Duncan is nearly amongst us.
