How is it a bargain for a 31 year-old who moved on a free transfer last season and has hardly played this year?

Not that the £400k is even true, of course.

You are entitled to your opinion which is often anti Robins but if MR decided Paterson the player for us that’ll do for me.

If we really did have £400k in fees to spend it wouldn't be on him

If we do though then so what, its not my money. We're probably the only clubs fans that worry what we're spending 400 measly k on. Hopefully those days are behind us and we'll see a few come in for over a mil again.

it’s a minor amount even if it’s true - it’s less than a years salary of some of our players

We need a centre back somewhat more. If we suddenly have cash to spend it probably shouldn't be on 30+ year olds

Maybe we’ve got a a couple of million to spend? Then 400k doesn’t seem that bad

So spend it on someone who's got room to develop and give you chance of a return.

its a nominal fee though - you’d pay more than that for a promising player

We need someone who’s gonna perform now, not take 12 months. It’s a small fee. We paid more for Godden and Chaplin in league one

We haven't paid a fee for someone since Gyo in 2021. Better hope he does perform if so

By all accounts it’s 250k - I’m assuming he has to perform for them to receive the rest.

it’s really a small figure considering we’re in the championship.

I think we’ve only spent this kind of transfer fee on five, maybe six players in the last decade.

Are there people turning their noses up at this? Presumably every player over 30 is finished... give him a 1.5 year contract and I think he'll be a very useful addition.

We'll soon see either way I suppose. But it seems an odd use of funds and it's interesting how quickly some have forgotten what happens when money gets wasted.

As a free signing though, sure.

Oddly players cost more at this level if you want to compete at this level

we spent £150,000 on Adam Barton and paid £125,000 for Clarke Harris to loan him in league two for 6 months so I don’t really understand your context. We’ve just been purchased so I’d hope within his plan we can pay half the fee we paid for Godden

and the last season in the championship we spent 500k on Cody Mac Donald - the fees in the championship have inflated massively since them

Maybe we need someone to fit in right now not to develop. The squad is thead bare. £400k really is not a lot of money.

True. Maybe not on fees but if what people's guesses on some of the players salaries is anything to go by - then it's been spent on those contracts.

Some of you are really damaged from the SISU years to think 400k is a lot for a Championship to Championship transfer. Shows what a farce it all was.
