Dyron Daal has been told his five goals in four games for Dundee are not enough to guarantee his Aberdeen future. The Dutchman was sent out on loan to Dens Park after struggling to break into the Dons side.He netted twice against Ross County at the weekend to clinch a 3-2 win for the Tayside team and has also produced a match-winning double against Airdrie United the previous weekend having scored on his debut for the Dark Blues against Queen of the South.Jimmy Calderwood is monitoring the 23-year-old striker's contribution to the Dundee cause, but is refusing to get carried away on the back of his player's goal rush.He said: "Obviously I'm getting reports on Dyron's performances and it is great to see him scoring goals for Dundee. We've had positive reports, but seemingly he could have scored 12 goals, never mind five, with the number of chances he has had."As far as next season is concerned, I haven't been able to give Dyron's situation a minute's thought."We have to get our own business out of the way in the SPL before we move on to that."Of course we have to be fair to the player and can't keep him hanging on forever."He has three games to go with Dundee between now and the end of the season and by then we will have to let him know what our plans for him are.
