Despite what was said about David Bates being in the u20's squad he is training with the first team (photos on official site)! At least he is another option at CD and may turn out to be good! For those who don't know he played for Raith last season and was MOTM against us when we beat them 1-0 away! On another note good to see big Crooksy back in full training, won't be too long till we get a look at him on the field!

I understand the boy Bates is a bit special, certainly looks a big unit.

I hope that he is special as he will have to be to get a game infront of rossiter/ barton.

It is common practice for u20s to train with the 1st team to gain experience and get a taste of the 1st team experience.

james s - well said.

Slim Jim was a true legend and a very special player, who had his demons. You can watch his documentary on youtube. Which is very funny and very very sad.

Another player we will say is special, world beater, will have sell on value, can sell to premiership for millions. barely kicked a ball. We can have this chat in a couple of seasons time if he signs, is in the first team squad and he played 30+ first team games.

Give the lad a chance to develop before comparing him to club legends.

Is the boy not a central defender? i don't see how that puts him In the mix with Barton n rossister or is he defensive midfield?
