BullyWeeStonehouse Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've missed the pre-season buzz of going to friendlies and the transfer rumours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also the only CB released. I take it you weren't too impressed by him then... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 You can't knock the fact that Buchanan was a fan, captain and loved playing for the club. Sadly he just didn't have the ability to go with it. We might have had the best defence in the league but that was also partly down to the level of opposition we faced each week. He was all over the place at times and it's no coincidence Durnan's ( who incidentally was made the scapegoat at times for us conceding goals ) form improved markedly without Buchanan beside him. If he'd walk into your team your defence must be rank rotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Buchanan was a Clyde fan when he ballooned a 1-on-1 over the bar from about 5 yards out at TFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigGuy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Serious question folks do you think we will be allowed back in the mighty Broadwood by the first game of the season? I don't understand why we can't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride Of The Clyde Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Expected, too good for this division. Wish him well , made a huge contribution during his time with us. I hope he doesn't end up at QP, that would be a backwards step in his progression imo, should be aiming higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Disappointing but expected he would leave was surprised he stayed on last season. Think I'm right in saying we will be due a development fee for him assuming we offered him the same terms as last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so; I think that clause lapses at the end of the season when they turn 23 (namely this season in his case). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Take it this is Raymond Grant. Looked a cracking player and will be very tough to replace. Expect him to roll up at Qu££n'$ Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I’d like to say I’d be disappointed at him dropping down a league, playing full-time with his brother (who’s his best pal) sounds hard for him to turn down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely he'll be back in this league in a year's time anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwoodBoy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 A massive loss. The guy is incredible, our best midfielder since Bryson. Gutted to see him go but can only thank him for what he’s done for us in last couple of seasons. It was a joy to watch him every week & wish him all the best. Really nice guy off the park too so no hard feelings. Hope he goes on to have a great career & does what is best for him, he’s certainly got the ability to play at the top. If rumours are true that he’s off to QP it would be slightly frustrating that it’s a step down in terms of leagues but if it’s full time given the ambition & location I can understand it. Would rather see him move up a league or two mind you. In saying all of that Clyde is obviously the priority so we need to find a replacement & try to improve on the midfield we had last season. A tough job for the management team but with season still a few months away I believe we’ll have a decent team in place to compete for places in the top half of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
