For us, he should gamble on Europe and hope he takes that next step. There seems to be a running joke with this forum about turning attacking wingers into full backs. Anyhow, I say no, he needs to be a forward, winger or attacking mid. Ivan, NVsoccer, N1ckbr0wn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny people are commenting on Lareya having a subpar game, when it was clear Leon were focusing on exposing him on the defensive end. The same will happen to Buchanon if he continues at FB, he'll have games where he'll be swamped with defensive duties and the fans will be dissapointed I'd like to see him stay a winger.

Completely different players and skillset. Jacob has shown his hustle is his best attribute. He’s not very skilful or has shown the tenacity/ability to take guys on 1v1 like Tajon. So I wouldn’t say they are a comparable guys. Shaffelburg would be thee perfect candidate for that winger to fb move imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Do we have a young winger someone doesnt want to move to FB?? Seems to me didnt TFC try it with Raheem Edwards before Lareya? We'll know its a real thing when calls for Corbineau and Nelsen to become FB hit the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Juve missing out on Reynolds to Roma has anything to do with it. Some nice clubs listed there, obviously. Salzburg and PSV are probably where his playing time would come easiest, perhaps Sporting also. Like Davies a few years ago, I am somewhat conflicted about him developing as a wingback, but if that's what it takes for him to play at a high European level, I can get behind it. With Corbeanu coming along nicely at Wolves, and Millar still in the mix to become a useful player, we still have options at winger in the pipeline. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I like Buchanan, but Juve? Seriously? Hard to imagine they'd be keen about a 22 year old MLS player who just started getting any serious play time just last season. PSV, Sporting, or RB Salsburg seem like much more realistic destinations. costarg, Addona, johnyb and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Sporting have room for him they have so many prospects. I think PSV or Salzburg could be great fits i am aswell, whats funny is that MLS writers see him coming off the bench for New England. let’s not forget Habibullah, Nelsen, Rutty, Assi and Pepple are some of our upcoming by wing options.

TOcanadafan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 As a TFC fan who was impressed with so many of the performances of the young Canadians last night, I laugh that they thought Griffin Dorsey was better than Buchanan and drafted him instead. But glad it happened, as Vanney would have nailed him to the bench and we wouldn’t be hearing these rumours of big Euro clubs wanting him. johnyb and costarg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The draft is such a crap shoot. Short seasons against dodgy opposition, who knows exactly what you are getting. TFC has drafted plenty of CDN though, just not the ones that have stuck around in MLS. Kent and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
