ONeils40yarder Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 A 19 year old goalkeeper released by Leeds would lead me to think Wee Dan would end up 1st choice.... ...not good at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONeils40yarder Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The fact that Sheffield Utd wanted to keep Long filled me with a bit more confidence...this youngster has been released by Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Long has plenty 1st team experience before arriving. Can't see us looking to bring in a 19/20 year old keeper unless we are really scrambling for options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Happy to see how it plays out, but I'll just throw McLair into the discussion as a youngster with no first team games that we picked up. Like you say though, keeper is a slightly different proposition. Are we sure it is the Leeds kid, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Good news. Not only a very good player but a massive positive influence on the rest of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 QOS had a Atkinson last season. 2nd choice to Zander Clark. Don't know if he is still there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Verheul Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Let's be honest it could be any goalie called Atkinson. I Googled it and the first name that came up was Dan Atkinson and everybody has decided that's who it is. It literally could be anybody, just like the game of guess the Trialist last week with kieran Kennedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Verheul Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Aah right fair enough if he's following us on twitter. I'm not on it so I can't see who follows who but I can still see official updates which is how I saw that sligo rovers had named him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 dont care who we sign or what their age is as long as they can keep the ball out the net more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Mcdonald is a very good signing. His desire to win was there for all to see last season and wasn't upset to let others know when they were doing wrong. Wouldn't be surprised to see him captaining the side some games this season. All we need now is a capable goalkeeper and a midfielder to play alongside Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
