One year too long probably but …….

Yes my apologies. Paterson is a comparable if not better player which is why he is without a club, whilst the other 2 have signed lucrative contracts in the championship. Jeez.

Frank can’t say we haven’t decided yet whether to sign him or not but by the way he’s done his medical and the contract is agreed. Once they decided Frank would dead bat the main question the rest of the questions had to fall in line too.

The fact that Paterson as the creative 10 is such a downgrade on COH / Palmer is principally down to the fact that’s we lost the 2 of them for circa £1m. COH walking away for free shafted the club. It was his right to do so, just as its my right to lose a bit of love for him for doing it. This...

I suspect @Saddlebrains and @GIMOC are correct on this. Paterson would not be training with us if both parties did not have some genuine interest and some basic contract principals had not been discussed. Paterson is not an ex City legend or ex colleague of Franks, this wont be us doing him a...

One thing that is becoming clear is that Frank is a pragmatist. He started out wanting to play out from the back and through the lines but we have largely stopped that unless it’s genuinely safe to do so. We are also playing a much higher line now than when he first joined. It might be that...

He’s solid but we know neither him nor JDS are the answer. We have to move JDS out for this to make any sense.

Are you taking about Paterson or Rak Saki ? I could see the latter as a CDM but never Paterson.

To be fair top @Saddlebrains i don’t think Paterson will be breaking the bank and therefore it doesn’t really apply to deals of this size.

You can see why so much business gets done in the last few days off the window ….. clubs / agents all hanging out for more money for most of the window, managers / fans getting impatient, one side concedes and the dominos start to fall but you run the risk that you are left high and dry at the...

Paterson has not been an 8 his entire career. I doubt we plan to convert him now.

I agree with this. I don’t think King wants out yet from what I’m told as the value hasn’t been created. He wants to ideally get us promoted and secure the stadium to get maximum value but knows achieving at least one of them will also create value.

I hope I’m totally wrong and he’s just what we have been missing this season but it feels desperate to me.

I’ve never bought this link to Cov bollocks. some of my fav all time players had probably never heard of Coventry before we signed them …. Ndlouv, Boateng, Hadji, Gykores, Hamer, the list goes on and on …. It’s about what they do on the pitch not what postcode they were born in for me anyway.

It’s almost like we have seen Barry Bannan school our midfield with his know how and thought we could do with some of that but Paterson has never been in the same league as Bannan.

Not remotely similar players.

We don’t need bodies. Our bench is always full. We need players that can make a consistent positive impact on the team .

No but my colleague is a season ticket holder. He was delighted when they got shot of him. He played semi pro football and is normally a good judge of a player.

I’m sorry but it’s a desperate signing ….. legs have gone.

Jesus wept …. since when has the criteria been “ good Cov lad too” ?? He turned us down when ever he had the chance until his options ran out …. Not for me .
