If Lampard left the ground impressed with any Dons player, it would be Ferguson that would have been in his thoughts.

Lowe, as good as he is for us, would struggle in the championship at this stage. He needs to develop more.
I definitely could see him back here again next year, maybe even permanently if Derby got promoted.
I can see Lowe coming back on loan if Derby get promoted, but not permanently - they've just given him a contract extension. I wonder whether they might actually want to loan him to a Championship team so he gets more experience in the English League. I think Ferguson needs another good season behind him before the English clubs will come calling - maybe even needs a call up to the Scotland squad first, which I can't see happening in the next year or two as we seem to have an abundance of central midfielders.

I'm resigned to Shinnie leaving now. I would guess he knows where he's going by now, as he'll want to join up with his new side for the start of pre-season. He'll be a massive loss both in terms of his ability and leadership.

Ferguson the new captain perhaps if McKenna leaves as well?
