33 year old with no club who’s turned us down before a couple of times?
He can come on our turns or fuck off to Wrexham or Birmingham, they’re probably his target market
33 year old with no club who’s turned us down before a couple of times?pato wants 7k a week
Cov refusing to offer that
he was on 15k in America
when our top earners are on what, 25k? It really isn't. 7k would presumably be on the very low end of the senior players, and Paterson was actually very decent last season. Presumably we're only offering a contract to the end of the season too, so he's got 0 security there.For someone who hasn’t played in 6 months and is 33 yeah it is you fool
He’s not even gonna be fit. We are gonna be paying him those wages until he is actually up to speed and an asset for us. You are presuming anyway without any actual knowledge of what our players are onwhen our top earners are on what, 25k?

You don't know either yet you're calling 7k ridiculous.He’s not even gonna be fit. We are gonna be paying him those wages until he is actually up to speed and an asset for us. You are presuming anyway without any actual knowledge of what our players are on
It’s ridiculous given he won’t be match fit for a month.You don't know either yet you're calling 7k ridiculous.
It is ridiculous. He should be on an incentive based deal whilst he gets up to speed.You don't know either yet you're calling 7k ridiculous.
Exactly this. At his stage of fitness it should be incentives basedIt’s ridiculous given he won’t be match fit for a month.
I’m ok with a small starting wage, and big appearance bonuses.
he’s messed us around before. Now he’s scratting around on 0 a week, he’s crawling back to try and get into a relevant league.
This 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.he was on 15k in America
Yet he still gets the whole forum arguing over his bollocks. People just need to let it play out.This is demonstrably untrue - MLS salaries are all published every year as part of the players' union agreement with the league.

tbf he was only there 6 months, so if that $534k figure was just for the 6 months it would work out around 15k a weekThis is demonstrably untrue - MLS salaries are all published every year as part of the players' union agreement with the league.

I don't know why people pretend he's some bum, he played loads last year and had a pretty good goal/assist return.It is ridiculous. He should be on an incentive based deal whilst he gets up to speed.
Did you miss the bit where it says it’s annualised?tbf he was only there 6 months, so if that $534k figure was just for the 6 months it would work out around 15k a week
He hasn’t played for 6 months and won’t be fit I’m not sure what you don’t getI don't know why people pretend he's some bum, he played loads last year and had a pretty good goal/assist return.
I don't think we're getting a better player than him on a free in Jan for less than 7k a week.
The numbers are annualisedtbf he was only there 6 months, so if that $534k figure was just for the 6 months it would work out around 15k a week
He’s not a crap player and if we were having him from Swansea or pre season I’d bite you hand off but right now? Is he even going to be fit to play a game and impact it.I don't know why people pretend he's some bum, he played loads last year and had a pretty good goal/assist return.

If he's not fit I wouldn't sign him tbh. It's possible to stay fit without playing. That's presumably something we've been assessing while he's been training.He hasn’t played for 6 months and won’t be fit I’m not sure what you don’t get
Even putting him on a contract where he earns half his 7k until he plays 270 minutes worth of games then it doubles.
You can’t keep championship match fit without playing any sort of matches or on a treadmillIf he's not fit I wouldn't sign him tbh. It's possible to stay fit without playing. That's presumably something we've been assessing while he's been training.
Just from his perspective, he's 33. Should still have a few years left in him, but not loads. Would it be worth risking injury playing for relative peanuts on a 4 month contract?
7k till June is only like £120k. Drop in the ocean really, less than the difference between us winning or losing that cup shootout.
Difference though between fitness and match fitnessIf he's not fit I wouldn't sign him tbh. It's possible to stay fit without playing. That's presumably something we've been assessing while he's been training.

The 11th best team in Major League Soccer evidently disagreedIt's possible to stay fit without playing.
Cov through and throughAnd that is why us sensible folk are saying it’s a ridiculous signing.
those are crazy wages for somebody who’s played 45 minutes in 6 months
The 11th best team in Major League Soccer evidently disagreed
I would suggest the fact they only gave him 44 minutes of playing time suggests they thought he did, yesHave they said he had an issue with fitness?
So you have no ideaI would suggest the fact they only gave him 44 minutes of playing time suggests they thought he did, yes
Either that or he wasn't very good
Not really a lot of time to settle into a new country. I'd sooner trust the judgement of our staff having seen him train than read anything into that.So you have no idea
They only played 12 games while he was there, you can hardly read much into it.
Don’t believe everything you see on the internet, especially Coventry ‘itks’You see this is the issue isn’t it. He was apparently signed and done but now turns out he hasn’t even agreed wages with us
He was one of the highest earners at the club and played more for the reserves than he did in MLS. He hasn't played a single minute of match football in three and a half months. At the very least you can read into it that his career has stalled and he has a mountain to climb in terms of fitness - he's in need of a full pre-season.So you have no idea
