DLK Departs

Quoted from ginnywings

You've really got it bad Grim Police.

Piling on ? Bullies? Shameful?

Bit dramatic.

Just trying to be fair ginny wongs

Quoted from Kris2

Good luck to him. Sometimes it doesn't work out for players here, the ones from London or around there probably have a harder time adjusting to the culture shock than players from Yorkshire and further north do lol. Quite a nice chap and a bit of a character around the club but clearly wasn't happy and homesick so went on loan.

Glad for both him and the club that the deal seems to have worked out for all parties.

Well said.

You're on a wind up.

Time to move on.

I've moved on.

'Till the next time.

I’m surprised by the negative assessment by a number of posters on here. In the games I saw him play, I thought he did well. He started the season but got injured early on, and Towler was brought in. Towler, and then Smith, both played at a level about the Conference, giving DLK little opportunity to play.

If you aren’t playing, it will be harder to settle, and so no surprise that he sought a loan and now permanent move back to the London area.

He did nothing wrong in my mind, and I wish him well for the future.

I'm not surprised. looked like an accident waiting to happen in the 2 or 3 games i saw him. The fact that he's just played for woking,and now he's signed for Daggers tells you all you need to know

no loss whatsoever

Good luck to DLK

The way the club have dealt with this and with Scannell has to be a positive.

We identified last year that DLK wasn’t happy in the area and sorted a loan move. We then haven’t stood in his way and allowed him to move on.

With scans we’ve supported him through injuries and have given him a contract to allow him to return to fitness at and supported by the club rather than casting him aside.

I’m sure that football is a small industry and this type of behaviour from the club as an employer will get round potential employees. It’s only going to increase the chances of a player wanting to come if they know they’ll be looked after.

What I saw of him at Woking he seemed a good NL defender, good luck to him.

Good luck to him. Hopefully he has a bit more Longevity there

Yep that'd be my assessment of him too and that was NL level, although he did look like he was strong and decent in the air, no way good enough for league 2 and I'd be wanting better even at 4th choice to be honest. Very pleasantly surprised at getting actual real money for him too! Well done GTFC.

However it seems its probably in his interest to move on too and at least he would rather be at a club he is playing at than sat on his backside,and if it's better location wise for him then everyone's a winner, which isn't always the case.

I'd be delighted to get towler or smith back although I'd be a bit surprised too as it would be a real battle for them against (probably) maher for a starting place.
