baulderdash77 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Since PSV has been circling for a few months, it follows that they may be the Dutch club. I wonder which French club would be making a move. I wonder if Lille would take a shot? They’re about to unload a bunch of players so picking up a young talent for $4-5 million could work for them.

No disrespect to Buchanan but if he's going to a top five league, it's a mid-table team at best. He's not at that level, at least yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also its not like Lille are consistently tops in France, a couple of years ago they were almost relegated. And with the financial pressures facing them, they may have to settle as a mid table team for the next few years, with someone like Buchanan a reasonable investment who could be sold on for a profit.

The thing clubs at this level would see in him is his two way ability... he has potential to fit in anywhere down the flanks like a better version of Laryea. If not for the wonder kids in our program he would be hyped as hell. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, the lowest value young players Lille have are Lihadji, Djalo and Bradaric and they are all 5-6 million. I really can't see Lille going in for a 2-3 million player.

Potentially, we don't know what the offers are yet. Also, I don't think I'd want him going to Lille. The players I listed that would be *around* his transfer value don't play. I'd rather see him go to the Eredevisie or a mid-table German club where he'll play. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tajon if he does end up in Eredivisie, the best team that he can go to in terms of further developing him into a future world class player would be Ajax actually toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 @TGAA_Star Yes but it’s been PSV that has been circling him (reportedly) for a number of months now. PSV is still a really good setup too so it would be fine. TGAA_Star and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealy is an 03 so maybe more so for the Jong team however this is more aligned with the signings PSV makes from abroad. PSV would have to pay Buchanon 400,000 Euros to meet the non-eu requirements in Holland. I'm not sure at his age it's a PSV move but it would be fantastic.

Colliedor Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I don't know what to think of this. I think he's a decent player but if I'm perfectly honest I don't see German or French league quality in him as of now. Wish him all the best if he does go, but I think it's a pretty darn big step.

I don’t think a team in a top league buys him as an immediate impact player. They are seeing a young winger in MLS who has strong attacking instincts, and who also stood out for his skills in Olympic qualifying. I assume it is a strategic investment.

Macksam Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Well, he's going up now. Edit: and he already looks much more lively in the advanced position. This guy is a winger, not a full back. Edited June 6, 2021 by Macksam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. First app with the senior team and the guy just played 4 different positions in the span of a game and did quite well on all.

ag futbol Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think he’s a good RB but better in the wide forward spot. The work rate on both sides of the ball is compelling though. For me he’s definitely in an 18 man roster. Arguably, being a natural right footer, he’s starting somewhere on the field. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Buchanan fits in with the senior team well. IMO Guy deserves to be called up regularly from now on. I can see him giving Laryea and Johnston a run for their money in the very neat future. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He may fit in- but our front 3 is Davies, Larin and David with Cavalini as our 4th. Canada’s attacking options are really tremendous. For now he’s part of the B team, just because of how awesome our starting attackers are right now. He played great today though. He’s getting better very rapidly.

The point is that there will be times when one/more of those guys will not be available, so having more quality guys playing high level prevents a drop in team performance. baulderdash77 and h coach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
