It's like when a really old person dies...you know it's going to happen, you prepare yourself for the inevitable but it's still devastating when it happens!

Lets hope it not with a view to a full transfer in January?DA it's time to put the pen on the cheque,thats if Donal would come here.We all know he loved it here with us,but at the end of the day money talks,Scunny are in the Championship & will spend the cash on him if he makes an impact over there,providing City want to sell him.

After his performance at Glandford Park earlier in the season, I'm not surprised in the
slightest.

If it happens, he should do well there, they have several big strikers to benefit from his crosses/assists.

Not really unexpected.

And, despite him obviously loving it here, if they offered him a contract let's face it, that's where he will probably choose & who could blame him?

And this ladies and gents sums up the situation perfectly:

"McDermott is still rated as a possible long-term first-teamer at City and Hughes is keen for him to step up to the Championship to continue his education"

He was never going to come here, we should be grateful Man City decided to let him come for the time we had him. We can also be encouraged in the knowledge that Mark Hughes must think very highly of our club and in the future we may get a few more youngsters to educate.

Hes too good for div 2 that is a fact, I never though for a miniute hed come back here lets move on.

As much as i have enjoyed Donal there are bigger players for our club imo in Lowry, Small, Talbot, Lester. There must be players out there who could be available and would do the job of Donal. When we look at oponents in our poor division, how often do we envy a player. Life must not be doom and gloom just because Donal is to better himself.

I didn't realise there was a problem with how we looked after MacDonald?

He came did, well and returned when his month was up didn't he?

[martatcross]

its a repeat of the O hara situation we know hes a bit special and will be seeing him play at a higher level but you can keep hoping it doesnt cost owt

[Larkin around]

Selfishly, let's hope he has a rotten time, thinks that he's not yet ready for the echelons of the Championship and decides a return to Saltergate in January is in his best interests.
