I mean none of us have seen his scans, have we?
Obviously if Lampard and co think he's got something to offer then maybe we offer him a contract - I'm not expecting an immediate contribution if we do though, that's for sure

I have no idea, I can't say I have looked or tried to research it or ask any of their fans. Hence I'm not just making things up.
Charlotte FC fan in peace.
Look after him.
Look after him.
With the club on this one. If he can help great, but let's not break the bank for an out of contract journeyman who has previously turned us down if it means we can't get another CM in.
Would assume their is some sort of international clearance that needs to be sorted.
For the lad born in Cov, living in Cov, to sign for Coventry City.

But they had a years option on his contract too which they declined to take up.
The MLS is a pretty decent standard of league these days. The name of Charlotte's junior team doesn't really change that.
It really isn't. It's still very much a retirement league that attracts oversees players who aren't interested in anything other than a final pay check.
No self-respecting footballer in their prime years would ever consider playing there and it shows by the standard. The quality of defending alone makes our back line look like AC Milan's in the 90s.
If 7k a week is breaking the bank it's simple. We're fucked.
Paterson is in his 30s, he’s not in his prime…
Even if we signed him, he’s not being brought in as the main man but a squad player. Someone with 13 or so goal contributions last season isn’t to be sniffed at.
Your post is completely irrelevant to this conversation.
I haven't even mentioned Paterson.
He’s welcome to keep earning fuck all of course. I can’t imagine anyone else at this level is going to offer him much.
7k a week is breaking the bank, Jesus Christ if we’re struggling to pay new players that we’re in massive trouble
Now read what I posted and what you quoted.
Careful, we'll have Partey , Sigurdsson and Greenwood wanting to sign.7k a week and a year supply of Rapeseed oil,that should seal it.

It's £7k more than an unemployed footballer is paidThis is demonstrably untrue - MLS salaries are all published every year as part of the players' union agreement with the league. Paterson was on $534,000 a year, which works out at roughly £8,400 a week. £7k would be a pay cut.

In fairness, both things can be true. FL might see him as an option for the squad, DK sees him as cheap.
Frank when he realises we can’t even afford Paterson….and that Doug’s ‘promotion clauses’ don’t work when you’re in the bottom half.
I don’t have any inside info on this but I would be amazed if Pato even started training with us with a view to earning a contract unless his package requirements were seen to be broadly ok.
£7k vs £15k is not broadly aligned.
Therefore either GIMOC is wrong or he didn’t join us initially to earn a contract but just to get fit and our view on him changed during those training sessions.
