Pato (37 Viewers)

[Deity]

Watch Swansea a lot do you?

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.

Let’s be grateful that Pato has finally agreed to drop to our level after many years of turning down his “boyhood club”

Im sure it’s out of his love for the club and not the fact he’s totally past it and nobody else wants him

 

[Deity]

Just an extra body.

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

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Would have been a brilliant signing at any time during his career with Walsall, Forest or Swansea. He turned us down for Swansea but then we declined the chance to sign him after he fell out with Russell Martin.

Given that we seemed to court Matty James in September I’m not against it in principle but he’s played almost no competitive football this season and that’s a concern.

Will support him if he finally does join us, for however long.

Oh and his fam are Cov fans but he supported Liverpool I believe

Not remotely similar players.

 

[Deity]

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.

 

[Jamesimus]

Medical today

good week training with the team

Low risk signing

good cov lad too

You sure it’s today or is it in 48 hours time?

 

[Skybluekyle]

He's only 33 isn't he?

No, not finished, Finnish. He's from Finham (I don't actually know what part of Coventry he's from)

 

[David O'Day]

Lads, look at the source and take it with a pinch of salt.

It would be stupid to fill up the one squad space we currently have before we sign players of greater need.

 

[Potbellypig]

Tbh at that moment in time, taking all sentiment out Swansea seemed a better career move, they were defeated play off finalists the previous season and we were a relatively new championship side

They probably blew us out the water on wages as well

Completely agree. Not the point I was making though.

 

[Potbellypig]

No, not finished, Finnish. He's from Finham (I don't actually know what part of Coventry he's from)

Went to Wyken Croft and Caludon Castle, so assume he's from Wyken/Walsgrave area

 

[Deity]

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.

Both Saddle and Gimoc have said it so it’s clearly got legs

Walsgrave / Wyken I think, went to Cally

 

[Nick]

Let's hope so if he's been training

 

[fernandopartridge]

I've just heard that he had a medical yesterday

 

[Deity]

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

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Struggling to get my head around this. Guessing he’ll be our 10 and left side back up with Wright moving up front to replace Asante. Makes little sense to me

 

[Domo]

Gotta be seen as another body in the team rather that someone thats going to make a huge difference.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

To be fair under SISU this would have been the marque signing for the window. Let’s hope it’s not the same this.

this just stinks of desperation to me though

 

[Viktor17]

Think we all need to pause.

Likely low cost, low risk until season end and it’s some experience. (Any longer than season end would be worrying)

would it be my choice, no (but like most I’ve not seen him in action for a while).

But if he’s trained all week, Lampard, Edwards et al have seen enough players to know if he can be of use now.

if this is one of 2/3 in them no problem, would be slightly alarming if this was the only IN and just fans flames of the money running out/king wanting out rumours etc.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Medical today

good week training with the team

Low risk signing

good cov lad too

Happy with that.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Been told the same

Rak Sakyi could also be announced today

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Been told the same

Rak Sakyi could also be announced today

Perm on Rak?

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.

 

[Viktor17]

Been told the same

Rak Sakyi could also be announced today

Any news on the outs?
Was Rak Sakai still loan?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

All joking watch him sign, have a belter of a half season and then leave when we try to add to his contract in true Jamie fashion

 

[edgy]

Been told the same

Rak Sakyi could also be announced today

Put this on the transfer thread. Might stop the nobheads talking about Musk.

 

[SBT]

He's a free agent. Released by Charlotte FC as he couldn't get in their team. 45mins of competitive football since May.

Even if he’d been a regular for Charlotte he would be just starting pre-season with them now. He was also on about £8,500 a week. Given how long it will take him to get up to speed I sincerely hope it’s some kind of pay-as-you-play deal.

 

[Lamps]

Someone with an experienced football brain is needed. 33 isn't too old as long as the legs haven't gone. Not going to write him off yet. Lampard isn't a fool.

 

[Nick]

Perm on Rak?

Nah skin fade

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I think Paterson's flexibility and experience will come in really handy.

Rak Sakyi has a lot of potential and is a much needed body in the midfield.

Just need an experienced head at CB now and I will be leaning on this being okay window.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Nah skin fade

Does suit him tbf

 

[Jamesimus]

You’d have thought they’ve seen something of him in training that suggests he could be an okay option (Pato that is)

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Am I missing something? He's a less than 1 in 6 striker, spent most of his career in the championship, now he's 33 and just been released by an MLS side?

It's like we're back in L1/L2 again. I'd rather keep BTA.
