Wots your agenda, here?

Is he a forward as supposed to a striker, so expect him to compete with the likes of Vinny, Watkins and Kennedy for a spot in the team?

Now can we swap McLennan to Peterhead for a balloon and a packet of boiled sweets?

Looked like an out & out centre forward in the video that’s on the thread. 

Would we go with 3 strikers in Miovski, Ramirez & this lad, or are we being economical with the truth on Ramirez? 
On-line stuff suggests Ramirez family are coming back so maybe he’s not going anywhere.

Another Athletic player….

is he a trifle fat or is it just my imagination?

Ramirez isn't going anywhere but after last season it'll be good to have options up front.

[Yerdas Selzavon]

Isn't it all just about getting other options? Having competition for places wont be a bad thing in the long run

Hopefully the headline is true - 

"He promised at Benfica, was a goalscoring 'machine' in the under-19s and now goes to Scotland: Duk heads to Aberdeen

Luís Lopes leaves for his first experience outside Portugal but takes with him the 'killer' instinct"

[Vermelhos]

According to Benfica supporter I just asked, was apparently very good / exciting. He thinks it's strange for them to be losing him (if true)

Yeah, I hadn't watched the video before I opened my mouth.  Definitely a striker from those clips.

I don't see us having this guy, Bojan and Ramirez and keeping them all happy with the system we play.

Yeah, I also thought he looked like he was on the same diet as Jet in some of the clips, maybe that’s why he is being released after previously thought so highly of at Benfica last year.

[fine-n-dandy]

For the first time (pretty much ever) we have the luxury of affording some extra players for added competition/back up in numerous areas. Be great to have 3 main strikers to chose from plus a young lad also. 
Keeping all of them happy is JG’s problem as he has said he will play his strongest 11 in every game. 
 

 

[McginnAgain]

8 goals in 20 appearances last season in the Portuguese 2nd division.

14 of those appearances as a substitute. 

[Zeus]

Duk will be good

He’s 22 though. Surely would of been in or about the first team by now if anywhere near good enough. He has a good return of 8 goal in 20 games. Looking like he came of bench in 14 of them so isn’t even a first pick for the B team.

That’s classic AFC, saving the supporters cash at half time, Roast Duk, and Ayrshire Roast Lamb ( sheep )chops at half time. 

[Zeus]

Haha

[zeroisgod76]

Hopefully he will fit the bill and ruffle a few feathers.

Its all the bread he gets fed with

[slippers]

Worth a punt isn’t it. We need a back up striker and this lad has a good strike rate considering he hasn’t started much games. Guess it’s similar to the lad Hibs have signed both probably a bit of a gamble but worth the risk. No idea what level the second tier of Portuguese football is like.

Loved The Temptations.

[fine-n-dandy]

Would imagine he wins a few headers by confusing everyone when shouting DUK every time he attacks a high ball

[SupportmeansSUPPORT]

neat finish here getting on the end of a cross from the winger who just joined Hibs a few weeks back. Nae a great from the keeper but lets ignore that

[fine-n-dandy]

That Hibs winger looks slow as fk

[ThomohawkKid]

Now everybody knows why I have been saying duck a lot lately ?? right @Helmet
