Least he didn't celebrate
If Paterson came O’Hare would be used the same as he was in league 1Think he would've been great competition for O'Hare and showed last night what we missed out on. Shame really. But Robins/the club need to do something in Jan to bolster our options in attacking midfield.
Absolutely ran the show in the first half. He did similar for Walsall and Bristol City against us.
If we really did pull out of signing him to go for Enobakhare in the summer (or go for him after we failed to sign Paterson) it does demonstrate what we missed out on.
Competituon for Ohare? Paterson is by far a better player , Ohare is good and may be at that level whens hes played 100s of championship games.Think he would've been great competition for O'Hare and showed last night what we missed out on.

Two players competing for one position is called competition.Competituon for Ohare? Paterson is by far a better player , Ohare is good and may be at that level whens hes played 100s of championship games.
And possibly one of the best paid and that might be why we didn’t get him.One of the best players in the league full stop.

I know there are people who like to pretend that budgets don’t exist and we’re actually one of the most free-spending teams in the league, but we can’t afford to pay someone like Paterson to backup O’Hare all season, when Swansea will offer him more money to start.

Perhaps, but maybe the highest here, possibly making the Bright gamble more attractive.He would be nowhere near the best paid in the league. Wouldn’t be at Swansea either
Paterson every day for me over O’Hare it’s not even closePretty much what I was going to say - Paterson was a lot more expensive option than people recognise, with him being 29 and his last big contract.
If we signed Paterson, he would be directly competing with O’Hare for a position (as we don’t play with wingers that wouldn’t be an alternative for him). Also you would risk stunting the development of a 23 year old (with high re-sale potential and lauded as one of the brightest players in the Championship at the start of the season) for a 29 year old who is entering the final stages of his career.
There’s also the point that Swansea are playing to Paterson’s strength in the number 10 position behind the striker and he’s hit the form of his life. I hate to think of the outrage amongst our fans if we didn’t play 2 upfront at home and Paterson didn’t immediately run the show.
The ‘he’s a Cov boy’ rhetoric only goes so far in choosing where to go. He’s had the chance to play for us like James Collins and gone elsewhere, which is his prerogative as he’s prioritising his career and contract over sentiment.
I’d still have COH over Paterson - COH wants to be here and is a cracking player in the making. He needs a break.

There's no way we signed Bright instead of Paterson.
We might have signed Bright because we couldn't afford Paterson, which of course is entirely different.

We can though as we put a 3 year offer to PatersonSo we get rid of O’Hare on the cheap then? We can’t afford both, that’s my point.
And he rejected it I assume?We can though as we put a 3 year offer to Paterson
He wanted assurances/guaranteesAnd he rejected it I assume?

We know that now but there’s no crystal balls when signing players.That tosser Bright couldn’t even be bothered to get himself fit, what a waste of money however much it was.
…and his previous antics at other clubs.We know that now but there’s no crystal balls when signing players.
Yes just the 4 contract terminationsWe know that now but there’s no crystal balls when signing players.
He's been getting rave reviews all season. Looks like another quality young English right back.I thought their best player was Laird.
