Released, no sell on clause
-
Bad news all round
-
It's the lad I feel sorry for... bad injuries and he picked up an expensive contract while they were still in the Premier League.
Hope he can dust himself off and go again - a club like Salford for example would be ideal if he's fully fit.
-
Well, if he wants to go part time..... ;)
-
Exactly
-
Best place for him to 'dust himself down' is coming back where he is loved and taking it from there
-
Easy for us to say but realistically it is not. He needs to stay as high as he can for as long as he can
-
Not long ago he was a Premiership footballer playing for England. He has been unlucky with injuries which have sidelined him for long periods whilst his club has been relegated twice and failed to bounce back.
I suspect his injuries have had a big part to play in the decision to release him. Maybe this could be a case where another club with another approach to training, medical care etc can sort him out and he regains the form that took him to a top-flight club in the first place.
As suggested earlier, an ambitious L1/L2 club could relaunch his career. Let's hope it works out for Duncan, because I do not want to see him back at Alty just yet !
-
Does anyone know if we are able to sign players for the playoffs? Maybe he can play 3 games for us to advertise his abilities to the world!
-
Duncan's a bit of an ususual case, as we know, due to his qualifications.
Weirder things have happened than him deciding his future lies outside football - but he can keep it as a PT side hustle for a couple of years.
Imagine...
For what it's worth he has been linked with Coventry, although given they've gone up I can't see him getting a Championship gig.
-
He signs a contract for us so that we can sell him to a bigger club?
Wishful thinking?
-
I致e always thought a club like Bournemouth would be ideal for Duncan. I wish him well for the future in whatever he decides

Replace that money grabber Fraser!
-
I wish Duncan all the best for the future.
That tackle on him at Wycombe was horrendous
-
I can see Duncan maybe coming to Alty at the end of his playing days at a higher level, but I really would not want that to be for a few years.
I just want to see him fulfill his enormous potential, and if he can stay injury free for a few years and retain his lightening pace on the ball, he surely will - because he really is that talented znd he deserves his time in the sun.
There will be a club willing to snap him up, and when that happens I will be following every single game he plays and willing him to success.

Great thought.

Believe it's players on the books at the end of March.
Here's a thought : Could Asante play for Chester even though he is now at Gloucester?

Probably could technically but not a chance of that happening
-
Never did anything for Alty ;D
Hope he gets a contract somewhere nice and high in the football pyramid.

Looks like we've missed out on a swoop for this goalscorer:

As good as he was, I知 afraid he has has his day at our level.

I'm sure this would have been nothing more than tongue-in-cheek of course. It's been great to have Jordan around so we don't quite miss Damian as much as we might have done.
Which got me thinking - like Willo last year, are there any other former players we'd actually want back at this stage?
If he was available I don't think I'd be too averse to having Leather back...
-

Do we really have to go through this again, he is at Arsenal isnt he?

I'd agree Leather, also a fit Kevin Ellison would be great

Leather & Watmore ( obviously).
A fit Ceesay would be excellent.

Nope. He's a soft tissue therapist at Sheffield Wednesday since 2017. Keep up Wayno !

The lad must be very upset how this all turned out, so unlucky with injuries then helplessly watching a premier league team slide so quickly. Thankfully he has his academic qualifications to fall back on, we all surely hope that he can keep fit and get some years behind him with a good league club. All the best Duncan lad and if you get bored, you know where we are.
