Ive been noticing a few negative words being mentioned about Dean....has he really been given the chance to prove himself apart from the odd sub appearance and a pre season tour..

what do you say brothers & sisters...is he worth a chance?

never understood why mcdonald got treated like a god,by a section of the home fans,when he had done nothing for the club,yet others did loads and got slagged off every game

I so understand you blakieforce. Thats what i thought. 

It seems Deano will be back for pre season training in a couple of weeks.

Dont think so. He was away before season ended.

i don't know where you heard that but I have good knowledge that he'll be back also just been informed its on his website.

Alex - depends on what was agreed ...

he is/was under contract for at least another season and unless ICT came to an agreement to pay out the rest of it and release him by mutual consent then he is still an ICT player. ICT may have told him he is free to find another club but if he cant then Gordon may be right and he will be at pre-season.

Who knows ... with all the departures, he may even get a look-in and we may be surprised !

"Surprised"  :015: :015:

Has be the understatement of the summer.

All I know is that when I enquired about him at the sponsors night I was told he had left.

He's been given a free transfer.

In fairness Alex.....you were going to get a similar answer regardless of who you asked about for fear you may end up sponsoring them next season and applying the "Kiss of Death"  :015:

He's been given a free transfer.

Fingers crossed he has.  Really really poor player!

He's been given a free transfer.

yes but contracts work both ways .... he may have been told he can go for free if he can find another club but if he doesnt find one and no agreement has been reached to buy out or terminate his existing contract then he is still an ICT player whether ICT like it or not.

according to the official site, still an ICT player

based on ?

Dont think any of us can really say how good or bad he actually is considering the amount of chances he has (not) had. He seemed to have a decent pre-season and did ok in the reserves but a handful of 5 minute first-team appearances tell you nothing ..... as Rory McAllister's fans will tell you  :004:

I could see what a terrible player he was.  His five minute apperances told me that he couldn't run, he was too short, he was far far too slow and Brew is/was right to try to get rid of him.

And another thing, the Gillingham fans were having a field day when they found out ICT were signing him.  They were right.

Graeme Bennett says Dean Macdonald has left in today's P&J

Caley do training sessions at my school sometimes and i saw Deano sky a penalty, as well as look very out of place given that fact he is 5'7 and built like a twig. What Phil McGuire did was worse but i ll save that for another day.:tic01:

From what i've heard Deanos been released on a free.

Built like a twig? Must have lost a lot of weight since I took this photo  :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

Maybe explains his lack of pace.....

That looks like trick photography to me...  there was never an ICT strip made that wide since Herchy played!

seen him today at the stadium had his kit bag  with him

hmmm.... :024:!

Was he significantly slimmer? If Brew has slimmed him down he might just get back to a good prospect.

I saw Deano in Tescos - i didn't speak to him as he was on his phone but he looked in shape.  However, i did speak to one of the other boys in there and they said Deano is training with the under 19's! So it doesn't seem he is in Brewsters plans.

Probably being allowed to train with us while he looks for a new club.

Nothing to do with being "allowed" he is an ICT player and has a year left on his contract.

definitely left the club now, story here

All done and dusted
