The Charlotte fans said he joined towards the business end of their season. He was in pre-season mode and they were at full tilt. He couldn't get in the side because he was physically ready to add value.
I guess it depends on why he “Couldn’t get in” the team at Charlotte.
Based on his performance last season it’s unlikely to be because of a lack of skill or stamina. Could just be that his style of play didn’t align to how they were playing.

Completely agree no brainer for me unless fl doesn’t want him next year
Agreed although maybe joining during a potential promotion push might incentivise him a bitI think Paterson has to accept a deal to the end of the season and prove he is worth another year.
I see him as being possibly useful rather than essential. I have seen so many players over the years his age, pull out all the stops for a contract then go into retirement mode. He was hardly pulling up trees in the states.
6 month deal with a years extension triggered if he features in 10 league games. Simple.I think Paterson has to accept a deal to the end of the season and prove he is worth another year.

You mean like some of us go to gyms?I wouldn't be surprised if Doug isn't charging him for using our facilities hence the delay in signing him
Pretty much yes. Also access to our elite coachesYou mean like some of us go to gyms?
The last sentence sums it up. Fan or not, he has a reputation for turning us down which is disappointing and has tarnished his reputation to me as a fanI assume its simply a game of brinksmanship.
We will want to offer him as little as possible, performance bonuses, and a short term contract. His agent will want the reverse and will be sounding out other clubs to see the best deal he can secure.
Despite the comments on him being a Con fan etc he has throughout his career chosen the most lucrative option for him, and i doubt this behaviour is about to change now.
I don't really care about that, he's just gone where the money is. Most players do it, in fact most people do it. I'm just hoping he's fit because if he's still close to the level he was last season he'd be a useful option in an area of the pitch we need it, and now, with the window closed, no other options.The last sentence sums it up.

I'm sure he will gutted about " tarnishing his reputation". It's a job for players very rarely a hobby.The last sentence sums it up. Fan or not, he has a reputation for turning us down which is disappointing and has tarnished his reputation to me as a fan

Thought you were on about Birchall for a moment there.‘Sorry Chris…what do you mean you’re eligible for Trinidad and Tobago?’

If he was signing I’d have started him tomorrowWas at the arena again for Leeds in one of the boxes. Surprised he hasn’t signed already tbh.
How do we know there is a decision to be made? We have no idea if we have even offered him a dealHe needs to stop dicking around and just make a decision
