18 year old Ex Rangers winger.

"Charlton expressed an interest and also suggested an amount they would be prepared to pay but no concrete offer has been made"


We have no cash or vegetables, so we are now offering concrete?

    Livingston are nicknamed the Lions ........ so that rules out this player then.

    The Scottish 3rd division?! Jeez is that really how low we've sunk!

    Concrete left over from filling the holes in the car park no doubt.

    You can't say Charlton aren't sharp.

    So a teenage winger so obscure there is no page on him on Wikipedia.

    On 12 Nov Scottish Sun said we wanted him on trial.

    Winger and ex-Rangers. What else do we know about him?

    Plays in Scottish 3rd Division so will delight the "look how far we have sunk" Company (recently downgraded from a Brigade).

    Will also be taken as proof that Holden is history.

    Ah. Whoops.

    But seriously, that is a level of football comparable with what, the Conference south? Lower perhaps?

    The only thing i would say in argument of this, is that if the lads ex-rangers, then i presume he was a product of their school of excellence. Being only 18 he may have been snapped up by Livingston once released and wanted to stay fairly close to home. Of course im only speculating and cant believe how low we've sunk! ;-)

    Similar to getting Holden on trial I would guess.

    Does suggest that we are casting our net far and wide (and very low)

    Thing is, we have scouts/contacts within Scotland, Ireland & Wales so there is always a chance that a gem can be unearthed. It cant cost the club alot of money and who knows, we may find ourselves a Kevin Doyle.(didnt he cost Reading £25,000)

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but weren't Livingston in the SLP until they were relegated for financial problems. Or have I got the wrong team?

    They were mate.

    We're sponsoring Halliday this season at Livingston. The club's administration sent them crashing to the fourth division from the second division. They are currently in position for automatic promotion to the third division and the quality of their young players has been an important contributor to their early success.

    Andrew Halliday has been rumored to be in Charlton's sights for a few months now, but I am not sure there is much behind it. Nevertheless, he's a good player and we're happy to support him.

    Too right!

    Offer him a trial, whats the harm? Ex Rangers so must have some talent. Hardly as if we are blessed with wingers.

    We should set up a progressive development programme with them!

    Our scout is a bit busy mate

    Really think we've missed one here. Obviously now we can't compete with anyone now but if there was even a sniff of a deal in the summer we could've had Mooney and Sodje's, as well as a whole host of others' budget on this fella. Will definitely go up in value, and as a selling club that's going to become as important to us as building a solid side.

    It's a massive jump from Division 3 up there to Championship level.

    He may have come in useful when we hit the Conference?

    The thing is though, Livingston were probably an SPL side in a "club set-up" sense before the financial woes set in. They finished third one season in the SPL and won a trophy if i'm not mistaken. The way the likes of Snodgrass and Dorrans have taken to playing at Championship/League 1 level down here speaks volumes.

    Dorrans managed to go from Livingston to best player in the Championship. There are always players operating below their level that can be snapped up and ignoring that stream of talent isn't something we can afford to do any longer.

    Livingston were in Scottish Div1 last season and the SPL not so long ago so would have thought a fair few of their players were playing way below their level in Scottish Div 3. Halliday imho would have been worth the gamble especially when we had no left midfielder but was not to be, he may turn out to be pony. Look at Dickson compared to some of the other players that have come from a similar level.

    His second season though, if you get players like that you've got to give them time. Can we afford players, excluding youngsters, that might not be good enough to start regularly for a season or so?
