Dal Riata Don Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't think he has the potential to take this thread to the 10 page mark but have been wrong before! Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Time will tell. Good to see a pre contract though. Hopefully we have a few more sorted out too Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Derek Ferguson has mentioned on sportsound a number of times over the years, that's he's good mates with McInnes... ... so would be easy to be cynical about this signing. Think he's 18 y/o and plays central midfield... I would imagine that weasel ferguson has been constantly trying to get him through the doors at Murray Park over the years, so maybe not a great indication that's he ended up here! I wonder if this will end up being another Myles Anderson situation? 1 Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Agreed. Play first team football for Hamilton or rot in hun youth structure? Some people. What's made you so holier than thou these days? I've noticed this increasingly... I'm speculating, like everyone else on this forum. For what it's worth I'm fairly certain that Derek would have had his son in the Rangers youth system if he had half a chance! He was praising their decision to quit SPFL U20 league not that long ago! ... and Lewis has only been seen a handful of times for the first team!! He'll go straight into the U20s up here... Hopefully he goes on to be a great player for the first team... but equally wouldn't surprise me if it's another Sammy Stewart or Myles Anderson situation and wee favour has been called in. I don't think that's too outrageous to suggest. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It's not exactly impossible sotr but it's a hell of a negative place to start from. Let's just go with the more likely which is McInnes thinks the lad has a chance. And I'll stick up for Derek Ferguson a (little) bit here too - I think he's older and wiser than you maybe credit him for, may well have advised his son to steer clear of the huns and certainly Accies is a good place for young players to develop.

I started my first post with caveat that 'it would be easy to be cynical' about this one on the face of it! I'm sure it's as you say above, but this is AFC Chat and we're allowed to speculate! Might as well shut-up shop if we can't do that! Certainly, the scenario I presented is not exactly out of the ordinary... and wouldn't be the first time it's happened at AFC in recent years (I've provided two prime examples above). BTW: I think you're the one giving Derek too much credit. He's a mouth piece for Rangers.... as slippery-a-character as they come! Link to comment

(by massaging the blue egos) Anyway... Point is that where his own son is concerned I'm not certain he'd want anything other than what's best for the lads career. Link to comment

Chewie37 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 A development fee for him? So I doubt it would be a nice wee favour to a pal unless he's worth something? Maybe having a look,at him first was a favour, but think that's about as far as it would go Link to comment
Tommy Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 He’s played 14 first team games this season. Seen him on tv and he looks decent.I reckon his performances have impressed McInnes and assume he did well for theirdevelopment team and got promoted to the first team.The idea that a favour may have been called in is daft, he’s here because he can play.I expect him to be in the first team squad next season as he will learn nothing in the development squad at his age having played in the first team as often as he has. 3 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I remember the night he got his surprise debut start due to a late injury. Derek was commentating and so, even more than normal, was beside himself. 10 minutes later the listening nation held its breath as Richard Gordon says oh, theres been an own goal in the Hamilton game Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Let's just give the lad a chance. He's played a handful of games in a pretty shite Hamilton side and not looked out place by all accounts. Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Dont know anything about the lad, but i certainly wont be judging him on who his old man played for. He chose Aberdeen, (or Aberdeen chose him), and that's what matters. Hope he's a player, good luck to him. 1 Link to comment
