However, it does seem plausible that Paterson might be one to go given the arrival of Smzodics, Palmer and Massengo. That said, he got game time yesterday and I thought he did OK.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Makes sense as we have a surplus of 10s and especially if COD is staying. Good luck to him, a good professional who would do a good job for plenty at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 This would really surprise me, I've always thought he was one of Johnsons favourites! If he was to leave I'll be pleased as he simply doesn't do enough throughout a season & goes missing months at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's a shame. Comes across as a decent guy and I imagine he'd be pretty gutted about moving on as he looks like he's settled here. However, if we are to progress as a club this is the calibre of player that needs to be shipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure Sunderland wouldn't be happy with an inconsistent player. I think he had to find that consistency with the chance he got at City, not sure where he goes from here.

old_eastender Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I've given Pato plenty of stick before, but will be quite happy to see him stay part of the squad. On form and up for it, a good squad player to have. LJ the one to blame for picking him week in week out last season when he was out of form.

Patersons biggest problem is he just holds onto the ball too long or tries to take everyone on himself. If he cuts that out and was abit more streetwise with the ball you'd see an instant improvement with him. If the penny finally drops for him he could be a very good player.

Something like that noggers Agreed, at his best he could tear up L1 but how many clubs at that level will take on his wages when he hasn't demonstrated consistency? With 2 years on his contract I doubt he'd accept a move to L1 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean LJ is making him a scapegoat by apparently making him available for transfer? Fans are just rightly saying Paterson is inconsistent, they haven't been giving him stick.

westonred Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 IMO we could get rid of Pato, O'Dowda, Watkins, Adelakun, and Walsh and wouldn't really miss them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wingers and creative players are often labelled inconsistent. It's a bit lazy sometimes, beating opponents is difficult so not everything will come off and if your team has low possession you're accused of being absent. Pato has always impressed me because for a creative player he works bloody hard off the ball and closes down extremely well. Yes he can make mistakes in possession and sometimes is over elaborate or goes one step too far before passing, but I think he's one of the more consistent creative players and I'd keep him. I'm quite surprised there's speculation he's leaving, I'd imagine it would only happen if we had had a decent offer not as some sort of cull. We could lose plenty of other players first before Pato needed to go IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
