Srg Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Good news. Be interesting how he’s used with both Forsyth and Lowe still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Good news, clearly a player with a lot of potential. I like what I’ve seen of him so far, though I prefer him at CB. Interesting it’s only a 2 year deal though, the other youngsters got deals until 2023. Normally you want to tie prospects down to longer term contracts.

Think this is one area we are overstocked, and could be looking to sell at least one, maybe two from Forsyth, Malone and Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 There’s something about him which I like but he like many others need to cut out the silly mistakes like against Leeds / WBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his first season at a professional level with just 3 league starts (plus 2 sub apps and 2 full games in the cup) to his name. He was playing U18 football last season. Only 12 games at U23 level. I’d be astonished if he didn’t take a while to adjust to this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 2 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: Why only 2 years? My guess would be that he is on relatively low wages and would expect a new contract if he can break into the first team within 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit short term for a young player. We’ll be entering talks again next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money being tight could also be a factor. i see this as a carrot. There is no point in entering talks again next summer if he has not progressed sufficiently to justify that.

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 2 years might be the new normal. Well, except for chris Martin....?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So Forsyth and Buchanan contracted until 2022, Malone and Lowe 2021? Interesting to see what happens with them, maybe one of them all of a sudden developes into Dean Moxey like goalschoring machine and will replace Martin upfront...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think Buchanan looks a good prospect. Get a pre-season behind him and keep him away from the Joiners Gate lot and I reckon he could flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone else thinking he’ll be sent out on loan? Not a fan of the idea that you just send an academy prospect out on loan and they return a first teamer but it’s hard to see his path to regular minutes. With someone like Whittaker, you can see how he’s going to feature because we’re so short at winger and striker but I can’t see Buchanan beating out Lowe or Fozzy. Glad we’ve got him tied up though, clearly a lot of potential there and I love our full-back conveyor belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
