Anyway, we havent heard a single thing on David Dukes contract
Do you lot think that the 'booing' he recieved earlier on in the season is playing over in his mind while he is deciding if he is going to stay here?
It would be stupid if he didnt sign for that reason, he was very good last season after a dodgy start and we'd miss him esp the fact he can play a few positions in the team and at the moment our sqaud is looking very thin, even thinner without our right/left/back/winger/central midfielder

He's just waiting to see what else is on offer....the Darlo rumour would certainly interest him as he comes from Durham....if nothing better is definite then he'll most likely sign.
We might evn love him for being 'loyal'

I love him already Reg-he's got more bollocks than Howard and Igoe put together.

Me too, I've always thought he has been a useful player. Nothing special mind.

to be fair he doesn't complain when he gets played out of position, always good to have a utility player

I wouldn't mind being played in bloody goal if I played for STFC. Too much is said about loyalty/reliability etc. If you're being paid nigh on 1K a week you pay where you're bloody well told to and ****ing behave yourself while you're at it. I'm sick of overpaid wankers complaining about how their swimming pool isn't big enough. :x Duke is an average cunt like most of the others, but has admittedly been quiet when talking about potential other moves. Whether he's from oop nooorf or not, talking an offer such as LEAGUE TWO Darlington seriously is pathetic - an oversized stadium and poor future prospects would mean he's only interested because of finances, which for me is a poor reason (I don't care what you say about a footballer planning for their future, they're not unemployable at forty you know!). |

Perhaps Duke is looking over the Darlington contract because he doesnt want to play here anymore because he thinks the fans hate him because they booed him really badly at the start of the season...
I hope not, as here you can see most want him to stay. Me included. I just hope the booing isnt playing on his mind at all while deciding his future

The booing he receieved acted as a catalyst for probably his best form since he's been at the club, especially once he had Holmes in front of him meaning he wasn't totally exposed by a 'winger' drifting inside all the time.
I booed him against Torquay, I regretted it instantly and I still do. I would like to see him sign though.

I don't think he is worthy of a new contract. He has been too bad for too long, and i await the day i can turn up at the County G and not have to suffer his inept performances. His only talent is to be the only person i know that can jockey the opposition winger for 80 yards down the pitch and let him get a cross in.
I would withdraw all 3 contract offers now, and force those players elsewhere, as they obviously aren't passionate about playing here.

He is crap when in defence, but he would be good as a back up midfielder.

Average player.
Keeping him depends on whether we can attract better players (obviously). Under normal cicumstances I'd say get rid and replace, but I am not sure if we did that we'd definitely get an improved replacement.
