Shetto Clyde Man Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 13 hours ago, SLClyde said: Liam Buchanan is leaving Berwick because of their financial trouble, lowland league top scorer last year and 9 in 10 this year. 38 now but worth a years contract? If he was registered with Berwick after transfer window closed he can’t sign with another spfl club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Just a quick question, does anyone know when we are due to hear about Crownpoint Road? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

same_ol_g35 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It was posted on the Q&A section of the official forum last week that some extra information was requested by GCC and a response was still being formulated. So we won't see a decision until some time in October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’s logic to that being a rule, but it’s beyond me to what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be signed on loan, the loan window is still open and as long as his wages were being covered it sounds like Berwick would be happy. Not suggesting necessarily we should btw, just that it could be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 It's amazing what a week can do in Scottish football. A week ago I would have definitely been all in favour of getting him in. But now I'm not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of a jersey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeStonehouse Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I wouldn’t take Buchanan now. I know we need experience but he’s 38, he’s too old for league 2 and for what we need. He wouldn’t feature enough for it to be worthwhile imo. If we are going to get experience in the door then get it in midfield or defence. Edited September 26, 2023 by BullyWeeStonehouse 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I quite agree, he is a natural goal scorer and if you consider the job the likes of McSwegan or Andy Smith did for us it might not be a bad shout. Given Rennie is never far from an injury or at best unlikely to complete 90 mins then someone like him for last 30 mins might be worth being part of the squad. Having said that if we don’t or not even tried to get him I’m not upset about that either, I do agree I’d rather have a midfielder or a CH if it’s down to choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is but Smith in particular and McSwegan were far better players than Buchanan is, imo, and were still very good when we had them. Smith and Harty up top together were outstanding to watch every Saturday. Saying that we are two divisions worse off now so maybe he could be of use. My worry would be we use a chunk of our playing budget on what would probably be a bit part player when we’ve wasted enough of it on some of the current squad already!

You are definitely right in terms of the level of player, as I said I’m not that bothered if he comes or not was just making the point of writing folk off due to age. As you say if we use the budget better at this stage then obviously we should. Not a lot of options around at the moment I’d think though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I've no idea if Buchanan is any good. However, I do favour signing him to bring the average squad age up to 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only one David Marsh Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We were only a few thousand away from signing a decent striker at this level but wouldn't go up with our offer and the player would have been a cracking signing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we offer £30k and they wanted £35k OR did we offer £1k and they wanted £6k? Was it someone with a recent good record of scoring at L2 or above? Has the player been injured a lot and is therefore a risk? Not much point in putting that on here if you can't back it up with some details... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
