Now wondering if any of the guys we're bringing in is capable of filling in at centre back when required. The Buchanan Livi link has been on the go for a couple of weeks so we'd have known it was a possibility when McCart was sent back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Stu has mentioned, we aren't awash with options now, so I hope this isn't something that comes back to bite us. Perhaps the player himself initiated this. I could understand if he'd prefer to try his luck elsewhere in order to secure regular 1st team football. Ach well, in Jack we trust. As said in another post, wondering if we've got someone coming in who is capable of filling in there, with McCart being let go back and Buchanan offloaded.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yet again intersting times did someone not write we will be blown away with who is coming in , no not fairy Bob or whatever his name is. Making changes so we can afford decent wages ? Jeez this is like being a wean at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or another loan, although I'd imagine the loaning club wouldn't be too happy seeing a player coming in as 4th choice, as they'd no doubt be.

Sonny Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) We have the best centre-halves in the League and Gary Mac as a sub centre-half who would probably get a game for any other team in this League. And Irvine or Eckersley could play there if required. We do not need Buchanan and he is too good to not play any football. We are short in midfield so it makes sense to get wages available for that position. Glad Jack is the manager EDIT TO ADD: O'Keefe and Horne away to Annan on loan.

Just hope the replacements we get in drive us towards a League and Cup double. Anyone know what this guy is up to these days? The only way is up!

Mullen is a good player just needs time to settle into his new surroundings it can take some players longer than others. Sutton can still be a hand full for defences at this level particulary in the box and at corners . he is a different type of player from Mullen and Gavin but suffice to say he is likely to move on at the end of the season. .

JM1 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Baird, MacKenzie, Davis and Eckersley are all better centre backs than Buchanan. Irvine probably isn't but can play there if we are really stuck. Gregor seemed like a decent guy and hard working but ultimately a limited footballer, especially for a team challenging for the league. Unsurprising he's ended up at Livingston, a club where he put in by far his best performance at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to pretend I'm in the know only go what I read on line , quite a few fans out there seem o think we are putting a cash bid for a Livingstone player. One who is a cracking player is Josh Millin who Motherwell want to sign also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get it over the line has been written , on far more than we could afford. Very interesting who this big name player is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
