Looks like Durnan is signing according to the media this morning. Got to say I don't know much about the guy.

Only time I've seen him was against Sevco. Thought he looked decent in both legs, though perhaps not the quickest. Didn't realise he was only 22. Worth a punt, but hoping McNamara has recognised that we need to bring in two centre halves this summer.

Needs a shave and a pair of clippers to properly replace Oor Jarek.

Probably looking at a decent wedge of compensation? Not sure how I feel about a central defensive partnership consisting of a previous 2nd tierer and previous 3rd tierer. Still need an experienced hand, imo.

What's the story if noone wanted to pay compensation for such an out-of-contract player? Does he have to sit around twiddling his thumbs for a specific period until noone has to pay compensation for him?

I think so. Didn't Aluko have to do that for a period before he signed for Oldco. The previous club have to have offered a contract on equal or better terms to be entitled to compensation so presumably most would simply re-sign at their old club if no one is prepared to cough up.

Ah right, I think we talked about this before, maybe at the old place.

Would've preferred him to meggatt at dens - especially since we signed Holt for LB.

Always liked him in our championship days. Good signing on the face of it.

Looking like a lot of players trying to make the step up across the league next season.

He didn't sign for Queens till he was 19, rather than coming right the way through their youth system (like Kevin Holt). So that will reduce his development fee. Most Dees would have regarded him as the opposing centre back we'd like to see end up at Dens after we won the Championship last year. Hartley's done a pretty good job looting the Championship since then, so we can't really grumble if the odd one gets away.
