Ryan Duncan

[Dave Bus]

Looks a good player, not quite ready to be a starter.

Noticed that in September Goodwin was saying we’d entered contract negotiations with him to extend beyond 2024. That doesn’t seem to have materialised then. 
We gonna end up seeing another Barron situation? I hope not.

[Dal Riata Don]

At the end of the day, his agent will tell him to hold out on signing a new deal for as long as possible.

From the player's point of view it's the best advice and everyone should be able to cope with it. 

[ericblack4boss]

It depends if he is happy to wait for a regular run, poor loon must have his own seat on the bench,

He will rightly want a run of games 

[CCB III]

Shafted by Goodwin the other night. 
 

Plays him in a midfield 3 when he's a forward and then has a thinly veiled critique at his performance. 
 

Does Goodwin have a good record of improving players? I know he spotted McCarthy, McGrath. Ronan etc and got praised for that. 
 

But, in terms of development? Doesn't strike me as the type that'll nurture a talent or have much patience with a younger academy graduate. 
 

It just makes the appointment, in hindsight, all the more baffling. A DoF with no prior playing side experience, and a young manager with little to no background of developing young players. 
 

Was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt but I can't believe we weren't casting our net across Europe to people familiar working in particular structures and strategies.

Don’t blame him not signing a new deal, who in their right mind would want to extend their contract at Aberdeen when Shayden Morris was signed and is ahead of him in the pecking order.

He was absolutely dreadful at Kilmarnock but has shown great promise before that. As someone mentioned above no chance he’s signing a new deal whilst getting so little game time.

Give him a start for the next 5 games. See what he's really made of. Fuck all to lose

Preferably in his best position.

Played out of position in a struggling team. Hardly an ideal foundation for a youngster to flourish.

It's the Aberdeen way I'm afraid.

It’s like us signing you up in the Celtic forum.

Play him in his proper position.

Any chance he can, even once, play half decent in a position that’s not his “proper” one?

[1903Fitba]

Ryan Duncan is about as much of a player as I am. 
 

Shite.

Far, far from the biggest problem at Aberdeen

When did I say he was? I’m saying he’s not good enough. Had more minutes than previous players with more talent ever had.

Not really

If he's the one we bring on to change a game, he's a massive part of the problem

I HATE the team again, hate them

Thanks Dave, Alan, Steven and Barry most of all

If he ever got a game in his natural position he might have half a chance of making it here

I’m just making the point we are in a fucking state and you are focusing your ire on a young lad starting out his career.

[Footballs coming Rome]

The boy gets a game for the Scotland u21’s regularly so shouldn’t be our go to scape goat.

Good question. A winger?

It certainly isn’t right wing back or centre mid which is where Robson has played him in almost all his appearances under him

I thought he did fairly well in a central midfield position when Shinnie was suspended at the back end of last season. Whole team was doing well at that point though.

He’s shite unfortunately 

[Willo flood]

Not sure what people actually see in him

Hes pish

 

[Don_Corleone]

He was certainly garbage today, but he wasn't the only one. 

Nobody on that bench was really going to change the game - probably the most likely would've been Jonny Hayes, which is mad given that he's 36. Big Guaye looks like a unit with a terrible touch. Sokler looks like Miovski but not as good. Barron can look good because he wants to get on the ball and at least tries to keep it, but he's not exactly a game changer. This is why I'd like to see Vinny on the bench - he has supplied goals and assists in the past, unlike most of the rest of them.

I reckon that Robson is impressed by folk that can run all day at training, regardless of whether they are good footballers or not.

Barmy approach to football management.

Of course he is, he says it every time he’s interviewed. 

First thing he’s said about nearly all of the new signings is “he can run”. Never mentions their actual footballing ability.

He’s a fucking halfwit

With each passing match I would say halfwit is generous.

He is barely a quarterwit.

Is the pub open yet?
