Dons_1988 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yeah, let’s not get carried away. He’s a dons fan and has been dependable and a great servant and clearly a good guy but he’s never been an outstanding player in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The devlin saga has been very sad. None of this is his fault but we really should’ve let him go a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surgeon we arranged for him fucked it up apparently so I imagine we felt obliged to give him every chance possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be asking if Bates and Gallagher are the best you can attract. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 McEntee is our best centre back by a distance and should have a big future. Already good enough for a bottom six top flight side? Probably. He's certainly a better player than some of the centre backs up there anyway. Already good enough for a side presumably aiming to compete for third and comfortably make the top six next season though? I don't think so. An absolutely massive upgrade on David Bates? Definitely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 AFC have confirmed that Michael Devlin has had his contract terminated. I wish him well and hope that he is able to get back to playing at a decent level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I see the Press and Journal are saying that JET's contract will be terminated in the next few days as well. Thought he was an uninspiring signing at the time but really didn't think he'd turn out to be quite as much of a disaster as he has. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I have to admit JET had me hoodwinked after that hacken game. I thought he was brilliant that night. He did show glimpses of that in the following couple of months too. The first warning sign was livi away early on when he started on his own up front. He was absolutely stinking, properly wretched. St Mirren away was the end, had clearly just given up and was fat. A disappointment as he’s clearly capable (technically) of being a good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a first pick central defender though, not a “back” up to Gallagher/Bates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Keep: Barron, Besuijen, Ramsay, McCrorie, Watkins, (Ferguson in the unlikely event he doesn't leave. Gtf: the rest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
