Doesn't have the energy or stamina we require for our high pressure and intensity way of playing and has one good game every 5. Does have undoubted quality but doesn't show enough of it. Think you are being harsh on Pato but I have been saying for quite some time he should be an impact sub for most games and be a spot starter. Think he will be just that this season and that is a very good option off the bench as it will keep him fresher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe correct, my problem with him is his type of game makes him one dimensional, if he is not playing well at the things he excels at then he becomes an encumbrance to the team as a whole, because his defensive qualities are woeful, that is what made Reid so good last season, when he wasn't playing well offensively his work rate and his ability to chase back and tackle and slot into midfield when the need arose made him a great 'team player' Paterson is not and will never be that player, it's tantamount to playing with 10 players and I fully accept that he was in very good company during our long lasting poor run.

He is a harder worker than most “maverick” types tbf. Isn’t his strong suit though for sure. Also think coming on in an attacking sense playing centrally he’d be more consistent anyway.

Dolman Block B Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Just hearing that Bournemouth have excepted a 6 million bid for Grabban, and most saying its Forest.

INCRED Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 So if Vydra goes then still think he could go to Derby if Forest get Grabban. whos to say if Brum miss out on Grabban as they have bid that they start targeting Marriott Still a lot of cards to be dealt and to fall still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All over Sky Sports right now so that will be Forest out the way. That leaves Derby who had massive interest as well. But they want Tammy as their main striker. You would think City would insist that if Marriott signs they want him in Marbella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Are Peterborough trying to buy his replacement first? DONCASTER REJECT BIDS FOR MARQUIS Aberdeen and Peterborough have had bids for striker John Marquisrejected by Doncaster, according to Sky sources.

Marquis' impressive tally meant Doncaster secured promotion to League One and he was named League Two player of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Now we have Weimann I would prefer Eisa for a better price but it is not my money. If we want Marriott we should get him. Perhaps that is what we are doing. Have a price we will meet but they want more and are gambling someone needs him more?

Not been impressed whenever I’ve seen him (very small sample of matches). Doesn’t look to have the ability to step up to Champ. Whereas Marriott looks an infinitely better player. Interesting that Donny manager is ex-Peterboro player and manager Grant McCann. So I’m sure he won’t let Fry and McAnthony bully him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m here all season Also reminds me of something on similar lines from the Danny Wilson/Frank Barlow era - can't remember the name of the City fanzine, (apologies to them, somebody help me out please) - but there's a hilarious montage picture of a grotesquely fat Darren Caskey done up like the Matt Lucas character in "Little Britain". He's made a huge dent in the pitch at the Gate and in the caption Wilson is saying to Barlow : "No you prat! I said I wanted a CREATOR, not a ****ing crater, in midfield!!"
