Penrice on loan agreed. No interest in Robbie Fraser.
13 Aug 2026 12:50:42
Was just coming to say this.
13 Aug 2026 13:01:36
Frustrating, it's dragged on so long, if you're right. Could this not have been done weeks ago? Not a good look for the recruitment team imo.
13 Aug 2026 13:01:49
Fingers crossed it is Penrice and not Fraser. As that really would be a new low if true.
13 Aug 2026 13:21:00
It was previously agreed, Rez, before AEK moved the goalposts.
13 Aug 2026 13:26:27
Rez, this one isn't on the club. AEK have moved the goalposts numerous times.
Penrice was due to fly in the other night. Got to the airport in Athens to be told that they weren't happy with the deal and weren't letting him leave then.
13 Aug 2026 13:27:44
Cheers mate. Think he'll do well for us. We're still a handful of bodies short.
13 Aug 2026 13:34:29
Does this include option at 2-3 mil?
13 Aug 2026 13:41:16
Penrice will be a good addition. We really need a new right-back in straight away as well. It shouldn't have taken this long in the window to realise we need fullbacks in, especially when Tavernier just left.
13 Aug 2026 13:45:37
Penrice will be a smashing player for us, of that I have no doubt.
13 Aug 2026 13:56:09
That's good info, Bear, hopefully registered before tomorrow night for Europe along with Moroccan.
That would still leave option for two other changes before midnight Wednesday.
13 Aug 2026 14:09:09
Copland, is it a loan?
13 Aug 2026 14:11:03
I know that other lot have had Champs League money for ages, but they are signing game changers and we are not. We need much better recruitment with people who can spot good players early. Even that would take years to impact.
13 Aug 2026 14:21:18
East, I disagree, mate, they're spending big money on good players. We're so far off.
13 Aug 2026 14:27:26
Seems to have a decent reputation, hopefully we get this one over the line.
13 Aug 2026 14:37:43
Yes, John. Went from loan - permanent now back to a loan due to AEK.
13 Aug 2026 14:52:03
AEK don't think wanted to let him go.
Heard Penric has been pushing for it to happen.
Hopefully he does really well and we can negotiate a permanent transfer.
13 Aug 2026 14:54:44
Penrice will be another solid squad player, still looks like a quality over quantity signing.
13 Aug 2026 15:08:47
Copland Front, thank u for the reply, much appreciated.
13 Aug 2026 16:23:26
This has been months in the making. He was expected at the training camp. Penrice has always been keen to join up with Del.
13 Aug 2026 16:17:53
Yeah, Penrice is decent, but that's a serious lack of ambition from our scouts. Out of all the left backs, we have gone for a squad player again.
